Remember slot cars?

[dwalker460]

To lighten things up, let me share with you my minor obsession in slot cars, which since I have been back racing the past two years I havent done much of, but the 100' 4 laner in the basement is still there.

Can I play

Sure the next time I hold an event I will make sure to send an invite. You dont build a big ass track with 4 lanes to play all by yourself...

I got a set as a kid for Christmas. My dad and his friends got to play with it for almost a week before I got to even touch it.

Still have it in its original box.

I built the track myself, its 100ft lane length, 4 lanes, built of wood with an epoxy surface, with individual power per lane and computer controlled timing and scoring which I also built. I have about 400 or so cars.

My next-to-last Chief (as in, CMS or E-9) was and I think still is big into slot cars too.

And it's probably just a coincidence but the guy in the black and white plaid shirt sure looks like a guy I used to work with...

Nice collection! I remember a lot of those cars- not inexpensive either. Scalextric?

I attend two different clubs that race regularly. It's free to race and attend. We give out loaner cars to get you started. There are about 10 tracks like mine that we rotate where the race will be held (greater Denver area).
This is my track (80 feet). We're racing here next Thursday if anyone is interested.
