November 28, 2025 – Where the Cars Are Small and the Drama Is Big

Welcome back, racing fans and electrical-current enthusiasts!
TWISTER once again hosted a thrilling morning of slot car chaos, featuring high-speed plastic missiles, questionable lane choices, and at least one driver who definitely forgot to drink coffee beforehand.

🏁 Nascar Expert Division – “The Professionals (Allegedly)”

🥇 Aaron Rothstein – The Man, The Myth, The Lap Vacuum

Aaron didn’t just win — he stole everyone else’s hopes and dreams, packaged them neatly, and mailed them overnight to “Better Luck Next Time.”
With 303.63 laps and a 4.518-second scorcher, he basically turned Orange lane into a personal freeway. Rumor has it the marshals are considering charging him tolls.

🥈 Shawn Sweeney – Tried to Catch Aaron (lol)

Shawn put up a strong 281.11 laps, which would win on most days…
But unfortunately for him, this wasn’t “most days.” This was “Aaron showed up early and chose violence.”

🥉 Chris Alden – The Calm Survivor

Chris clocked 268.86 laps and a best time that says, “I’m not trying to break land-speed records, I just want to go home with all four tires.”

4th – Doug Yarbrough – Chaos in a Controller

Doug’s 195 laps suggest that perhaps he was racing on a track only he could see.
But hey — his 4.631 says the speed was in there somewhere.

5th – Leonard Strand – Orange Lane Fan Club President

Leonard ran 182 laps and we respect his commitment to Orange lane.
He believes in that lane more than most people believe in their New Year’s resolutions.

Expert Podium: P1 Rothstein, P2 Sweeney, P3 Alden

🔷 Nascar Amateur Division – “The People’s Championship”

🥇 John Kolman – Amateur in Title Only

John stormed to victory with 270.42 laps and a quick 4.942.
Some are calling him the “Aaron of the Amateur class,” which is both a compliment and a threat.

🥈 David Bauder – Smooth But Slightly Less Smooth

With 261.59 laps, David looked great in Blue lane — until he didn’t.
Blue lane giveth, Blue lane taketh away.

🥉 Robert Hanlen – The Lap Ninja

Robert set the fastest lap in the class (4.690 sec) and then decided consistency was overrated.
Still snagged the podium, though. Ninja moves always pay off.

4th – Jack Granchi – So Close You Could Smell the Podium

Jack finished with 257.55 laps, just a few turns away from the top 3.
If races were 4 minutes longer, he might’ve had them. Or he might’ve deslot. Who knows?

5th – Mike Strong – The Name Says It All (Well… Kinda)

Mike’s 234.53 laps prove that while his racing was solid, his controller may have been powered by AA batteries from 2012.

✨ FINAL THOUGHT

Another electrifying day at TWISTER, where the only thing faster than the cars is the excuse-making afterward.
See you next time — same track, same chaos, new reasons to blame the braid brush.
