Our mutually argumentative co-poster is wrong to disparage NASTAR thus. NASTAR isn't as popular here in the west as it appears to be in the east; I don't believe I've ever seen a NASTAR course. (Maybe at Bend long ago.) I don't know why. Daily I see training courses with coaching set for everyone from 5 year olds to Masters and elites, but no NASTAR. Decades past coin-op timed courses were commonly set for civilians but not NASTARized. I didn't disparage NASTAR. I said that, unlike what Downhill likes to pretend, NASTAR is not anything like 'real' racing.... i.e.- FIS sanctioned races. If you want 'real' racing with full-length courses, etc., then compete in FIS Masters program. NASTAR encourages resorts across the country to standardize their course(s) to have a par time of 23 seconds... hardly a 'real' race course. BTW, The 'big time car racers' analogy (cart-F1) doesn't hold water. Name a single World Cup racer that got their start in NASTAR. |
