If you're like me you have lots of spare slot car tires laying around whether they be new, used or waiting for Bill to try. They seem to clutter up my work bench and it's tough to keep track of what exactly they are and what car they are for. I ran across these this morning at Dollar Tree and thought they may help keep things more organized.
So far, so good and as Bob Barker would say "The price is right"

Dominic and I had a good time as well, he is already looking forward to the next race.
Thanks Bill for another fun filled Odd Thursday, I had a great time visiting, eating and being Ricochet'd.
Amelia and her team won the "Battle of the Books" contest at school and will be representing her school in the Championship. You ask: "Why is this important?" (Other than the obvious reason) Because it's on March 14 and we will be in Wilsonville most of the day.
I'd guess you're correct in stock form but with the right upgrades may be a decent runner.

LOL, me too. I'm watching this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fly-1-32-1965-F … 43d88a3b7c
You just can't stop, can you?
I'm with Mitch.
Wasn't it PT Barnum who said there's a sucker born every minute? EBay must have a magnetic pull on them.
What would not be fair is to not count points for those who host races. Why penalize someone who takes the time and effort to host a race? Some people are generous to host multiple races while others host none, so with this logic it would be better point wise to not host let alone doing it more than once. The new rules will negate the issue to a certain extent in that the expert class are the only ones racing for points so the intermediate and novice classes are not affected by the host performing well. If there are fewer points races next year as has been indicated, not receiving points at any race will be an even larger penalty. Besides most of the experts are more than capable of winning on any track on a given night.
Chris, "so-called"? We'll both smack you. ;-0
Can I help? Pretty pleeeeease!
Thank you Monte for the fact filled and enlightening post, it is much appreciated.
Rico
Very nice work Howie. Thank you for taking the time and effort in posting this build.
Hopefully not an HO track.
Millions? Oh yes, putting on a race is quite the money making opportunity. We should get Bernie involved.
I'll second that!!!!
Rico, that was some of the best racing you and I have had together last night!!! I think we drove each other's cars as much as our own!!!
Yes indeed and I had a swell time doing it.
What he said times two. I may even have a new nick name.
I agree, very fun and easy to run.
WOW, what a great night of racing and we didn't even make it to the BRM class. Very close racing through out, sometimes a little too close Mr. Fisher! The Beast Vette has it's eyes on you :-). Thank you Bill and Diane for the hospitality as always.
Regards
Rico
Thanks for the lesson Monte, here is an image of the the book:
Here is a link to a thread I started on HRW which has some additional info if anyone is interested:

There is some evidence that the guy in that picture is the legendary Bob Braverman- journalist, motorcycle and drag racer, modeler and slot car enthusiast.
It turns out Kal Kar made wood track sections as well
They are pretty close to the originals to me
I picked up another vintage car today. It's a vintage Kal Kar Ready to Run car which according to the LA Slot Car Museum is a fairly rare car. The paint job is factory and definitely not the correct color for the 1:1 car but correct in this instance. It's in pretty decent condition with just a few cracks in the rear panel. The funky baby blue tires may be stock as well.
And the $20.00 price was certainly a bargain.
Rico Locati brought out his vintage Corvair for a few parade laps.
And it ran surprisingly well.
