Topic: NASTE Thursdays

Hey Bryan, Thanks for the track time last night! I had a great time! I'm looking forward to more of these NASTE Thursdays! Next one's at Monte's on December 4th. We'll set up a car pool from our side of town.  -------------------Bill

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Yes, that was fun.  I especially liked the guitar stuff!  That Bryan is full of surprises.  And yes, you're all invited out for the 4th.  We'll do track taping on the Autumn Hills track.  I have enough copper tape for all of us.  And you can also entertain yourselves with the digital track which will accommodate 6 madcap racers at a time.  Insane!  I'll hope to have end boards in place by then.  My poor water heater...

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Rico, I'll show you my water heater technique!!!! A little flick here, a little squeeze there, and wha-la....we got serious air!!!! ............but, evidently I missed the garage door approach!    -----------------------Bill

Re: NASTE Thursdays

I think that the water heater trumps the garage door for the simple fact it's a much smaller target and farther away.......

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Hey Monte, How about some moving targets?????........Didn't you say you had some "strays" around the neighborhood????...............

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Monte has already provided the moving targets......your competitors cars!  We better tone this down or he's gonna change his mind about having the race.

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Good point! I'd hate to get banned before the starting flag even dropped!!!

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Hey all, the next NASTE Thursday night is scheduled for Dec. 4th at my place.  We're going to try to tape some of the Autumn Hills track with copper tape and in between we'll be racing on the digital track.  Doors open at 6pm.  Come on out and join the fun.  Contact me if you need directions.

Re: NASTE Thursdays

A great NASTE Thursday at Monte's last night!!! We got a demonstration in slosh casting (thank you Greg Petrolati!), we applied some copper tape to Monte's Scalextric track, and we raced some digital on Monte's new SCX Digital track. By the way Monte, what's the name of the new track? And we had some great chili and cornbread! What a blast!!! Thank you Monte & Victoria!!!!  ------------------------Bill

Re: NASTE Thursdays

That WAS a good time and I've got pictures to prove it.  Thanks to y'all for showing up.  The track name is currently under discussion.

Monte, You've been busy! Great gallery for the NASTE Thursday activities!!!  --------------Bill

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Monte- I recommend "Flying Hills" in keeping with the theme.

Re: NASTE Thursdays

My turn, how about "Knievel Hills" (similar sort of "flying" referrence)? Evel would be proud!!!!

Re: NASTE Thursdays

I like it.  It incorporates the flying as well as the crashing.

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Another good time last night at Bill's as eight friends of the slot gathered for - what else - slot cars!

For those of you that missed it, we ran around both 1/24 and 1/32 scale cars.  I was surprised at how well the 1/32 scale cars took to the track.  Magnet-less of course.  And yes, Rico has the Fly car to beat.  We also looked at some ideas for our proxy racer that will be entered in an "around the world" race.  Thanks Bill!  Hope you got some sleep.

Stay tuned for the next NASTE Thursday.

I've seen my peers...  How about Sniveler's Grove complete with Whiners Bend and Losers Leap?

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Hey guys, Howie is planning on coming over tonight (2/19) for NASTE Thursday to unveil on of the new True Scale Class cars.  ----------------------Bill

Re: NASTE Thursdays

Cool, I'd like to see one.  Did you tell him to bring a Fly car?

"Big Smooth"

Re: NASTE Thursdays

I'm not sure Howie has a Fly car he wants to put on the track. The only ones I've seen are the ones in his display case.......

Re: NASTE Thursdays

There was a rally in Maine a few years ago.  At the driver's meeting a question was raised about what to do with the expected heavy dust from the dirt roads.  Legendary European driver Stig Blomquist spoke up: "Dan't be a veemp, poot your foot down!"

Heck, I'll bring an extra car...  veemps...
