NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (Page 13 of 85)

Thanks for the great evening out, always good to get some toy time. 

The Cobra is making progress but still needs some taming.  But all in good time.  First I have to fix what I broke.

Thanks Bill for another entertaining evening of racing, it's always a good time at Too Bad Motorplex. I think I may have a junk food hangover or I'm just tired from getting home so late. What I thought was going to be an improvement in the Trans Am  class, clearly wasn't, so I guess it's back to the drawing board.  I still giggle inside at how well that beat up, second hand BRM runs, just amazing. Although the Omron car shows great promise after just a few laps getting into the 8.3's.

Don't pass an old, unstable car on the outside.  The even driver's worse.

Had a great time boys.  Thanks to Bill for having us.

Not to be out done, John Fisher brought out his new Ford.

The Fisher Team is looking very good!

Odd Thursday Night on May 7th was not a particularly good night for me. I was unable to participate in the racing at TooBad Multiplex, but fortunately for me and other racers, NASTE is chocked full of good friends who are more than willing to help out when needed. People that I am truly grateful for, and proud to call MY friends! Thank you all for stepping up and continuing our Odd Thursday Racing schedule!

A couple of you may have noticed you picked up nicknames. I hope you're OK with them......if not.....well, Too Bad!
Al, when I was doing the last race recap it just hit me! It was either Smoke or MEAT. Smoke has already been made famous, so it was MEAT!...........I like MEAT better anyway!

Hey y'all,

Just thought I'd check in. I'm feeling better. I go back to the doctor next Wednesday, so hopefully after that I'll be back up to speed.

Thanks to Monte for taking the Odd Thursday Race date for this Thursday the 21st. I'm sure everyone will have a great time running the proxy at Penguin Point, as well as our usual Odd Thursday classes.

Last note to John Morse. Thanks again for that way cool original Womp chassis! I don't think I've seen one that old and in as nice of shape! Original motor and all! I have a very nice old original Womp Corvette body I have had stashed away for some time. Next time you see that Womp I should have the body mounted on it, and it will occupy a spot in my display case!

Odd Thursday Racing, June 11th - Back Up and Running!

Feels like I've been out of circulation longer than the actual month. But we were back up and running for last night's Odd Thursday race. Extra stuff has invaded my garage so we had to put the pit tables outside, but the weather cooperated and it worked out fine. We had a total of ten racers in attendance racing four classes with four different winners. John Morse added to his Winner's List total with his second (first non-mag) win, with his outstanding drive in the Over 50 Class. Score one for the Manta Ray! Other highlights included Mitch Brooks win in the Classic Sports Car Class, followed by a visit from Bryan Trachsel who awarded Mitch a handbuilt custom trophy representing the NASTE Challenge Championion for 2015! Congrats to Mitch for winning the Challenge Championship for 2015!

Congrats to Al MEAT Chrsitensen of his fourth place finish in the Over 50 Class! Al races a KTM/Kemtron powered beast that he actuially raced in the 60s! Al has been massaging and tuning his Cheetah for the TooBad track and his efforts are paying off. When Al first started racing with us his Cheetah would barely get around the track. Now his beast is a front runner and contender evertime it's on the track! This is what the over 50 Class is all about! Great job Al!

Thanks to all that made it out last night! It was great to see you all and to be back on the track!  =======Bill

Rico, Looks like there's a new "BEAST" in town, and it belongs to The MEAT!

Bill: Thank you for hosting another great Thursday night race, glad to see you are doing better also. Sure is fun having the competition getting closer thru out the pack, unless of course some one is having car problems like blowing the crown gear out!

Goose

Thanks to everyone for another great night of racing and camaraderie, fantastic to have Bill up and at it again and health issues on the mend ! growing old is not for sissies!

Bill: Thank you for posting the pictures of John's "tire sanding center".

John: Thank you for sharing  the "tire sanding center" with you're racer buddies. My complements on you're engineering and wood working abilities to build the center, it is a work of art!
