NASTE 2012 Halloween Race (Page 1 of 2)

Man, do I hear ya!!

LMAO!!! Sounds just like the rest of us! Terry finally got our cars whittled down to fit the height restriction and that took him quite a while, but not sure if he remembered lights. I think he still has glow sticks. I'm hoping he does anyways. Just finished making the Halloween candies and got cookie dough setting up in the fridge. Howie isn't going to supply dinner that night right? Do we need to bring some solid kind of food? Just checking! ;~}

Forgot to say, I need an address!!!! I'm trying to get some more newbies to join us, they can race Terry's old cars, but I don't have an address for Howie!! Please? If you don't want to post it here, send me an email. You should have included the address in the Weekly NASTE email for me.

Pot luck is good, what do y'all want me to bring?

I went shopping yesterday and found the body for my Halloween car for the low, low price of $2.00 plus an existing chassis equals a win.  Some cutting, painting, soldering plus a little time last night and I just have final assembly to go. Now, if I could just get my proxy car to go that smoothly....

Thanks Bill. Now if I can get Terry to give me the address. lol Finger food sounds good.

I'll bring those plates leftover from Larry's race. I think there might be some forks leftover too and will bring any extras I might have. I think I still have some left from the Van meet. Know I'm bringing cookies and candy, but haven't figured out what all else I'll bring. I'll come up with something though.

Great you're bringing hot dogs Bryan and stuff for them. Thanks!

Good luck with the car Rico! You sure scored, but waiting until the last minute aren't you?

Okay. Just looked. The van meet stuff is buried until next summer and there are only about a dozen plastic forks I can bring. If anyone has extras, great. If not let me know and I'll see if I can stop by the dollar store before Saturday.

Hi Dorothy. I did see your post. I can bring forks. I should have 2 Halloween vehicles up and running. I can share the one Cailin doesn't race.    -----------Bill

Thanks!!! Terry says he has controllers to bring for extras. Thanks for the forks Bill and Bryan. Don't know if we'll need them, but always good to have them just in case. Thanks too for the extra cars. If they all don't get put in the same heat, we should have enough for them to run. See you in a few hours!

Monte discovered my "bright" idea won't work for my Halloween car. ;-(

But it will all be alright - just not as loud or as bright as I'd hoped. It retains its most redeeming feature, though. It's purple!

That's too bad Victoria. Still, it's purple so that's a plus!!! Sounds like you're bringing a great dinner!!

No need to bring plates. I saved all those we bought for Larry's race and will bring them. I don't know about drinks. I just planned to bring some water for Terry and I in case there weren't any drinks planned. Oh, also Kaluha since the last time we were there, Howie had coffee brewing. It should go nicely on a day like today.

OK sounds like we'll be pretty well covered. I'll bring plastic forks, spoons, and knives. Plus some finger food, probably chicken strips or what ever Cailin wants to bring. Howie's is pretty close to a Safeway in case we forgot something.

I have two Halloween vehicles up and running, Cailin's and one more. Both just barely make the 3 1/2" limit. Got my fingers crossed I measured correctly!!!!

Thanks Howie for hosting our annual NASTE Halloween Race for 2012!

Cailin & I had a great time! Great food & great company! NASTE people are the BEST people!

Sponge Bob had a great time too (although he complained a lot about the handling of his car........er, boat!)......

I should have checked this page out sooner. I have plenty of plates and utensils here in the shop stored away for the "big" events.
I had a good time and it looked like everyone else did also.
I don't know what the protocal is for the NASTE group to hold races at different tracks, wether it is by vote or what not, I informed Bill this morning that I would be interested in hosting the Holloween race in 2013. Bill was in favor.
I will do a race report on last nights race on the NWTSR site under "Pit stop" as soon as I can. I have some neat pictures to share.
See ya.

Thanks Howie we had a great time!!  Hey  Bill I think thats a great idea   There were some cool cars there last night and Bob kept me laughing all night !!!  I am already thinking for next year....
