Topic: NASTE Archives

Here's some video I ran across. This is OLD footage, it was dated Oct. of 2000. Looks like a NASTE race at my place in Fairview shortly after we moved here. The race is being run on my 1/24 three lane short track I bought from Larry Cockerham in Carlton. That track was originally set up in my single car garage when I lived on northeast Ainsworth Street. Back then NASTE stood for Northeast Ainsworth Short Track Encounters. Things evolved from there!

Re: NASTE Archives

I scanned this photo some years back, not sure where the original is now, or if there are more.....

This photo was taken at the first NASTE Halloween race. Anyone remember the date? I know it was before September 1999, and before all our kids graduated from high school. The race was held at Tim Barnes NASTE 2 track in Fairview. Tim's track was a commercial 4 lane 1/24 track that was previously in the slot car shop in Lake Oswego. Tim bought it from the owner of the slot car shop. The original owner had reconfigured the track. It's original design, as it was in the slot car shop, was a double decker design. It was reconfigured to fit in a garage after it was taken out of the slot car shop when it closed.

Re: NASTE Archives

Another scanned photo, this is where it all began.

This was my original NASTE track on N.E. Ainsworth in Portland. At the time all I had was a small single car garage, and this track was a good fit, as long as I didn't want to actually put a car in the garage. I was able to house my motorcycle along side the track. The track was originally built by Paul Painter. The track's footprint was just 4 feetwide by 16 feet long. The year must have been 1995 or 1996. Anybody remember?

Re: NASTE Archives

In December of 2002, Dave Smith brought his HO dragstrip out to Fairview for a race. This track was very unique in that drivers had to make a simulated gear shift at half track to complete their run. The track featured electronic timing, and the lowest E.T.s were those with the best executed shifts.

Re: NASTE Archives

January 2002 - Vintage Modifieds on Jeff Courtney's NASTE 3 track. These 1/24 cars were powered by Radioshack motors and ran hard rubber model airplane rear tires.  They provided plenty of action on the five lane track!
