Topic: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

Greetings!!!

Thank you all so very much for responding to my previous email, Facebook event page and the post I put on the NASTE forum about the race at Howie's track. We had a wonderful time, great racing and there was a variety of food to munch on.

NASTE race coming up on Saturday May 17, 2014 in Salem at the Edgewater track. We are going to be doing another pot luck style dinner. Terry and I will be showing up very close to race time as he is working that day and we can't leave here until later. I will be bringing desserts and a cooler full of pop. We might be there too late for dinner so if anyone has plates, forks and napkins they can bring, that would be terrific. If you would like to bring something to share, thank you. Please let us know by responding to this email, the Facebook event page or the post in the NASTE forum.

Re: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

Thank you Bill! That will be terrific. We're working on getting us down to Salem a bit sooner than we thought. All depends on if we can pull it off or not. smile

We'll still be bringing sodas and desserts. Bill is bringing his famous potato salad and utensils. Amanda is now able to come and she'll bring her famous dips and chips.

I'll keep you updated on the status of our pot luck!

Re: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

I will not be bringing anything and that includes me.  Cece has an all day volleyball tournament on Saturday.

Re: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

I get to miss Thursday night too. Her normal ride to practice is not available so I'm doing that or Gabby's last softball game of the year, not sure which yet.

Re: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

I'm also going to miss out running my BRM for the first time. Oh well, there's always next time.  If the girls do poorly at the tournament it could be a shorter day and may be able to make it to Salem.

Re: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

Update on the race tomorrow. June, Perry and Tyler will be there and bringing broccoli salad. Tracy and Todd will be there and bringing chips. Mitch Brooks says he can't make it. Monte and Victoria will be there. Not sure what they are bringing if anything. Victoria says she's got a busy day ahead for her. Bill~Potato salad and utensils. Amanda~Dips.

So, since it seems like we have more side dishes, I have been busy today fixing things today since I have my high school reunion tomorrow. If I'm supposed to organize, I'm responsible for having enough food right? tongue Anyways, I've made meat and cheese roll ups, cut up veggies, sliced meat and cheese, sliced bread for the garlic cheese spread I made, opened sweet pickles and I'll still be bringing pop and desserts.

See you tomorrow!

Re: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

One heck of a night in Salem.  Thanks to Dave for putting it together.  I'm still stunned by the result.  Clearly practice is over-rated.  Well, for me at least.

Reminds me of a day on the Epson Golf Tour.  Stepped onto the practice green.  Dropped the ball and lined up a 30 foot putt.  Rolled it right in.  Guys are all staring at me like 'who is this guy?'.  Walk over, pick up my ball and walk off the putting green declaring "no sense ruining a good stroke".

Sometimes the magic works.

Re: NASTE 2014 Season Race No.17

Yes a lot of pointing and no one seemed to really know which way! smile

I'm surprised at myself. I got the video done. Yes, I was a slacker and just spliced all of them together, but it's done. Spectacular crash by Amanda happens at around 2:40 in the video. Missed June's crash, but I at least got one good crash. Thanks again for the great night of racing!

Great video.  Glad I got to see Amanda's Leap.  I guess the Hammer doesn't fall far from the toolbox.
