NASTE News for March

NASTE Library
Wednesday March 05, 2014

We are pleased to announce the newest addition to our NASTE.org website. Monte Saager has created a NASTE Document Library where we can save historical slot racing documents such as flyers, rule books, and newsletters from a time when there was no internet. Back when we had to type or print things out, and use a photo copier that wasn't located in our own homes.

We have already posted a few documents, and if you look in The Forum in Slot Car History, under The NASTE Library you can find some information on each document shown. If you have any dialog you can add, please feel free to reply in the forum!

Thank you, and please enjoy!


 

NASTE Race Night 12 - The Lightning Round
Monday February 24, 2014



A dozen racers took part in the twelfth race of the 20214 NASTE season held at Penguin Point this past Sunday.

For the first set Monte set out three LMP cars – two SCX Audi’s and a ScaleAuto Toyota.  Traction was a little on the down side and the powerful motors made it a little tough on the drivers.

Taking the top spot in the NASTE Challenge race was Dorothy Abbott with a total of 35.4 laps.  Tied for second was Victoria Saager and Tyler Petrequin with 34.8 laps.  With her victory Dorothy was moved into the Advanced race with the big dogs.

NASTE Race Night 11 - The Floods in Salem!
Sunday February 09, 2014



Yes, it was all about the Floods in Salem. But let me backtrack a little. Eight brave NASTE racers, without thought of personal safety, set out on an adventure of a life time. A trek if you will, to the far out reaches of Salem Oregon, in some of the most horrible, frightening, arctic conditions imaginable! Yes even just the thought of it brings my brain to numbness!

NASTE Race Night 10 - Doing the Fairview Bump
Saturday February 01, 2014



The NASTE ’55 Chevys were the IROC cars of choice for the 10th race in the 2014 NASTE series. Seventeen racers bashed and slammed their way around TooBad Motorplex through two slamming-good rounds of racing. The Chevy’s are somewhat slow and a rather ill-handling but what they lack in speed they more than make up for with non-stop fun.  The results prove that and then some providing the closest, most exciting racing seen on the NASTE calendar in about forever.

NASTE Race Night 9 - Eat, Race, Crash
Friday January 17, 2014



A small group of drivers braved the blustery weather to do battle at Bryan and Sherry's in the 9th race of the season. With only four so-called "pros" in attendance, the Challenge field was packed for the first race. Bryan brought back the AC Cobras, this time with little drivers in them. Unfortunately they had no safety equipment and there were some quick decapitations. Cars were tumbling and heads were rolling. Jeff came out on top, earning the chance to wreck with the pros.

And wreck they did! The first corner in nearly every heat saw carnage and had drivers fuming and marshals scrambling.

NASTE Race Night 8 - Dirt Track Racers
Saturday December 21, 2013



The Hammer Time Speedway was host to the 8th round of the 2014 NASTE season with twenty racers coming to play.  Our master of ceremonies Terry Abbott had set up two sets of HO cars for our racing pleasure, giant Detroit steel and old-school dirt track racers.

The first round introduced us to good ol’ Detroit Steel and piloting the little cars around the track proved as tough as it was fun.  In the first set of heats Russell Flood had the hot hand moving him into the main event just ahead of brother Thomas and Dorothy.  And in the main event of the first set it was Flyin’ Bryan Trachsel winning followed closely by home track favorite Terry with another HO stalwart, Dave Smith, taking a solid third.

NASTE Photo Archives Restored
Wednesday December 18, 2013

The other day a conversation came up about the construction of slot car track tables. I was describing the table I had built some years ago for my 8 lane T-Jet track. We decided to search for the photos of it's construction process which I had posted on our old NASTE site. To my dismay the photos were no where to be found. Today I searched through my archives and found those old photos, so I created a new photo gallery under the Slot-Tech section on this site. You can now check out the photos of the construction process of my old 8 lane Aurora Thunderjet 500 track.

In addition, I found many other old NASTE racing photos that were posted and now gone from the web. Since I am retired and it's cold outside, I made time to get them uploaded. You can see them all in The NASTE Archives located in the Gallery.

Check out the photo gallery of The Fray in Ferndale 2003. We attended this race, well at least part of it........long story, and these are the photos I took while we were there. It is a fantastic event every HO enthusiast should experience at least once!
