Not too much to race. I've put together two Artin Nascars with 10k motors and magnets, and I'm working on governors for two Parma Economy controllors so the grandsons aged three and five can run wide open around the track without them screaming for grandpa to put the car back on the track.
  I did change out the motor in my Racer Maserati with a Scale Auto ball bearing motor. It's not as fast as my Slot-it, but it is a lot more fun.  It was already smooth, but a little slow on the longer straights.

It's fully clothed now. My granddaughter thought it was invisible.

I spent a decade of my life on my knees pushing cars around in the dirt. You're providing cars, track, controllers, and electricity, what on earth is there to complain about?

I enjoyed these cars so much I had to go home and start another.

Thanks again Bill for another great night of racing. 4/2

I've pulled the magnet, added a little lead, and changed tires. It definitely needs more poop. Of course it might help if I didn't run it right after my Slot it.

Personally, I just want to make the cars go around.

Bill, I run mine every week still trying to get it right.  I think I have it smooth enough now, now I just need to learn to drive the darn thing.

I think it was actually "Boys Life". I think it was called that. The photo was of vintage F1 cars, though I don't think they were vintage then. The caption I think was about the fun of "nerfing " your buddies off the track. I guess nothing changes very much.

I just couldn't make myself pull the trigger on a Racer, but I found enough parts laying around to make my own version, and with that Pioneer motor it's pretty quick.

I saw last night that the Salem Track (Edgewater) is listed in Portland's Craigslist for $3,000. Shame it was a nice track, I hope it finds a home.
