The second shelf down in my display case is where the 1/24 cars start. Like the 1/32 cars, the 1/24 cars I collect are for the most part cars I just like, and my reasons vary widely! They don't have to be perfect, in fact I prefer cars that are not perfect! I love the ones that have been used and abused. I like the idea that I can pull any of my cars out of the case, throw on a fresh set of tires and run it without worrying about damaging it!

This is a DuBro bodied Scarab on a slightly modified Cox magnesium chassis. I like the paint.....

1/24 AMT hardbody Mustang coupe. Whoever built this one did a really nice job on the paint! I also like the way the body was lowered on the chassis.

This 1/24 Buick stock car is from the Norton Gaston collection. Model car body mounted on a modified production chassis, powered by a 36D motor. Norton and his father Jerry used this color scheme on many of the stock cars they built.

Here's another 1/32 car that falls into my DKWW (don't know where or when) I got it category. I have no idea who built this car but it is nicely done!

I don't know who built this 1/32 Ferrari, but I like it!

Racer built some of the most beautiful 1/32 cars! They were also pretty good performers with chassis based on Slot.it components. This Gulf livery P68 Fords is one of my favorites!

This 1/32 Cox Cheetah has a little bit of a background story. When I was about 13 years old I got this car in kit form. I assembled the car, but I never ran it on a track. That was about 1968. Around 1981 I traded this car to my friend Gary "Goose" Gossett for HO cars. When Goose passed and I bought his collection from his son Steven and I got this Cheetah back. I doubt it will be leaving my collection again..

This 1/32 Scalextric Lister Jag is probably the oldest Scalextric car I have. It has the typical styling of an early slot car. I like it!

This old Strombecker 1/32 Ford GT40 is in my collection just because I like the way the original owner painted and detailed it. It is different from the other GT40s I've seen. The paint and detailing is pretty well done. Unfortunately I have no idea who did the work.

Yeah, it doesn't look much like it, but I am making progress! I'll be posting more photos in the next few days. I want to document as much of my collection as I can, someday it will all be gone from my world. Right now this display case contains 112 cars. Most are 1/24 cars.

Here's a Strombecker Ferrari someone painted and detailed. It's really clean and they did a pretty good job! Unfortunately I have no idea who completed the work on this one.

This is an example of a 1/32 Cox La Cucaracha that came with a clear body. It appears the original owner completed some detailing of the body. What I like best about these cars are the original magnesium wheels! The chassis on this one is really clean and original!

My hunt for one of these Aurora 1/32 Corvairs started many years ago. While looking through stuff at an antique show, I cam across one of these Aurora Corvairs. It was missing the front and rear detail parts (headlights and the rear body panel). I figured I would be able find these parts on Ebay easy enough, so I bought it (it was cheap!). Well I would bid on incomplete and broken cars on Ebay, just for the parts I needed. Every time I was outbid, and sometimes these "junk" cars would go for almost $100! Then one morning this 99% complete car (missing rear bumper) popped up for a "Buy-It-Now" price of around $80. I had to buy it!

Here's another 1/32 Monogram F1 Lotus. This one is complete and in good condition. The original rear wheels and tires were replaced, I assume in an effort to improve the car's performance. Check out the "handkerchief" detail added to the driver....Cool!

This 1/43 dirt car was built by Larry Anderson in Canada. Larry and I became friends about 20 years ago through the internet. Unfortunately somewhere along the line I lost contact with Larry. I hope all is well with him. He built some very nice cars! This scratchbuilt body is mounted on an Artin 1/43 chassis.

Here's another Scalextric car, just because I like the Tyrrells.

Looks like it's been a couple years since I last posted a photo of my progress in getting the shop's upstairs organized. Well I'm still at it. It may not really look like it, but you'll have to take my word for it, I have made progress since that last photo I posted in May of 2021. Look, you can actually walk from one end of the room all the way to the other!........But seriously...I've decided to get back to some Ebay selling around September.......

Where are you guys meeting for breakfast? And what time?

Heads up: I am out of used RTR Womp cars for purchase. All I have left are used bare chassis. All the parts necessary to assemble a car are available through Bob Nak.

The PASER Rules have been updated as of today 7/10/2023.

The rules will apply to the upcoming season which starts in September. We have gone to great lengths to simplify the PASER rules, while keeping within the original spirit of the group as intended by the original club founders.

Here are the noteworthy changes in the rules:

For the Can Am Class Hawk 7 or S16D motors may be used.

For the Production Sports Car Class Open S16D motors may be used (same motor rules as Late Model NASCAR).

The PASER Trans Am class has been shortened to just Trans Am. PASER and Northwest True Scale (NWTS) Trans Am classes are now the same, and carry the same name as well as sharing the same rules.

The PASER Sportsman Class has been renamed to Outlaw Sportsman. The legal bodies have been expanded and opened up to include ANY 1/24th or 1/25th 1958 to 1979 American make full or mid-sized cars. "Pony" cars are still NOT legal, but the new rule will allow cars like the Chevrolet Nova, Ford Fairlane, etc.

For the PASER 4.5 Flexi NASCAR Class the legal rear tires will we specified. Only Pro Track Daytona tires will be the spec/legal tires for the rear. The PASER Club will stock and inventory the tires so racers can buy them directly from the club at the races.

For the PASER 4"Flexi Class ALL four tires must touch and roll! It was found at the last race some of the front pans on the new JK car's chassis contact the track surface. The PASER Club will stock and inventory replacement "O" ring tires for the front of the RTR cars to eliminate this issue.

The WOMP Class motors will now be specified motors. The new spec motor will be the Professor Motor FK motor rated at 25k. The club will stock and inventory motors for racers to purchase. Since many of these FK motors look alike, the motors will be marked and identified as legal. Any motors purchased outside of PASER will need to be verified and marked. If it cannot be verified (i.e. new, unopened in the bag from Professor Motor) it will be deemed illegal. These motors are NOT expensive!

Our goal this season is to tighten up our rules a bit, and to continue providing great slot car racing for everyone! So Please, read through the rules and be sure your cars comply.
