Sad News About Beau Frazier Thursday December 22, 2022

It is with great sadness that I am reporting on Beau Frazier's passing at the age of 72 this morning at 6:15 am. He was a great friend to me in both slot cars and the 1-1 car world. Beau would help anyone who asked and did a lot for the sport/hobby of slot car racing. He would build great slot cars for the new guy for practically nothing. He found the Pro Slot Indy cars that we are racing. He Built a chassis for the Can-Am class that was available to all racers. He will be greatly missed. -- Gary "Howie" Howard

McFarland Memorial Track Tour : Round 4: Tom's World Tuesday May 17, 2022

McFarland Memorial Track Tour : Round 3 : Rapid Raceway Sunday April 17, 2022

Stop three on the McFarland Memorial Track Tour was for the Porsche 962 Championship race at Rapid Raceway on April 16th. Howie started off the day with a great story about Bob and his love of motorcycles, which did not include Harley Davidsons. Through the years this brought forth many opportunities for friendly jabs between Bob and Howie!
The nine racers in attendance celebrated Bob's love for slot cars and slot car competition, by battling in the third and final race of the 2022 Columbia Gorge Championship for Porsche 962s. Ironically this race was for "bolt together" type chassis, which everyone knows Bob was not fond of, making this race even more special! I can still imagine likely derogatory comments from Bob as the race progressed! But even Bob would have admitted these cars perform extremely well, under duress of course!
We miss you Bob, wish you were here giving us a hard time about these "bolt together" cars!

Welcome to NASTE
|
NASTE provides slot car hobbyist’s with opportunities to further their interest in slot cars through social gathers as well as structured race programs. NASTE also connects with other clubs which provides even more options for racing.
NASTE was established in 1996 by a small group of slot car racing enthusiasts in the Portland, Oregon area that wanted something different. At first we raced on a short, 3 lane routed 1/24 scale track. The racing was intense! Click here to view the original site. Soon we expanded adding more tracks to the racing schedule.
Our goal is to make our racing inexpensive, with the main focus being on having FUN! Besides, we have learned that low tech can be very competitive! So, check out our cars and tracks and drop us a line if you have any questions or comments. And if you're in our local area, feel free to join us. You are more than welcome.
