Those are some of the CB Design classics I had laying around ( left over from ill conceived ideas ) I also had some 3/32x 1/4 bushings so I used the 3/32 axles. I sleeved the front axle holes with aluminum tubing.

That looks way better than me dumping a little box of tires out on the work bench then digging through them to find two that match. However sometimes I find other things that I forgot I had.

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.

Bill, I got one last week, the green one. Looks nice but It's not very impressive performance wise. I'll bring it on Thursday.

Hey guys, after last nights race I got online looking for a spare body for my GT40 as it's getting a little road worn. On Electric Dreams site I found one for $27.99. On the next page they had a complete car for $29.99. I don't know how many they have for that price, but they have one less now.

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 might have an extra set, I'll try to remember to bring them.

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.

That picture, I remember seeing that picture when I was a kid. That one and a photo from an issue of I believe Life magazine are the earliest memories I have of slot car racing.

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.

It is amazing what a little floor polish can do for these old car bodies.

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.

My second chassis would not stretch out far enough for my AMT Bonneville body, but this option fit very well.

I bought a Revell 250 GTO body for my other chassis. I'm waiting for it to arrive from Canada. I'm starting to think Canada moves their mail by pack mule until it gets to the border.

Nice job on the wheels Rico. I have some here that I might have to take a wire wheel to, luckily I had some extras here that weren't too bad.

That looks less complicated, at least from here it does.

Mine too, now I find myself shopping for other people's cars from the 60s. Actually Dad's were better, but they really got rid of a lot of stuff when they came from California to Oregon. I assume that's where/when they went.
