George- I agree that the Scaley guide flag set up is not the best, but I have several older Scaley cars that use it and have had no problems.  There are several posts on SCI that deal with the issues you mention.  Scalextric is aware that the Chinese manufacturer is possibly using a more brittle plastic than what is spec'd and are looking into the matter.  Several people have contacted Scalextric USA and have recieved replacement chassis, however you must be persistant.  This is one of the reasons we are going to run the SCX Nascar instead of the Scalextric ones.  Several chassis broke during testing on simple spin outs, and proved not durable enough for Randy's liking.

Does it have to be a race series?  Let's say Monte and Victoria have a digital event Jeff has a 1/24 event and Bryan T has a HO event, would these count?  Would the PSSRA enduro's count?  There is just no way I can see being able to devote myself to 5 separate series.  Let's face it- you are not going to go to a new series with new/loaner/rental car and dominate the series, so your Naste Champ points are going to be from dissapointing finishes for the most part. Do the final 3 races count towards the total number of races?

I'm pretty sure it's standard Slot.it fare.  I found this pic on SCI

The most I personally spent purchasing a slot car is $60.00 and it was pre-owned.  On the other hand, it would have cost way more if it was new.  I have spent way more than I care to admit updating some cars for a certain race series and like Monte am glad to have costs curtailed for the current season.  I think some of this boils down to the "got to have it" factor and a persons perceived value.  I have one car kit that I received as a gift that cost close to $100.00 and I have spent additional $$$ finishing it.  On average, I think the $50.00 dollar range is the going rate for a new 1/32 car.  What I can't believe is that so many or the same person keeps voting for $10.00 is too much.  What scale are you buying?  New or used?  Enquiring minds want to know.  I think the poll should have stated the scale or broken it down into the various scales and the results would be more accurate.

SCX is on the rise.  They have stepped up the quality of their products and their customer service is among the best.  When was the last time a manufacturer gave you the chance to give input on what product they produce? SCX cars have always been on the slow side and management in Spain wanted to continue with the slower motor even though a faster one was available.  It was brought to their attention that many slotters wanted the faster motor so a vote was established.  They buying public voted for the faster motor and now that is what will come in new products.  I am impressed as well.

Many Thanks to the Stummans for the passing Winter Season.  Now on to the next.....

Fair enough.  I have seen a few posts where the little adapter ring or some such thing has broken.  The part is not available for purchase, but Brian Young at SCX will send it to you if you contact him.  Monte, maybe we could get some of these in advance????  They break during some/hard crashes that causes the guide to pop out and if you are not careful reinstalling the guide you can break the ring.  This is why I considered changing to the other guide, but it is what it is................

Can I adapt an SCX Pro guide?  It sounds like it would be legal to my way of reading.  A clarification please...

Monte- go to routed track section of SCI for pics.  It looks to be great racing with some elevation changes

Not mine either

In your case-probably coffee.   91% instead of the normal 70% at most stores.
