I've come to realize I'm pretty OK with this social distancing thing. I enjoy just being by myself, out in my shop, wading around in my flood of slot car stuff. I'm not really getting anything done, other than some Ebay sales. But I am having a good time poking around in some boxes, finding some of my stuff that has been packed away since our move two years ago, as well as finding more of Goose's stuff he had boxed away.

Here's a wooden carrying case I found years ago. I'm not sure what it was originally built for, maybe some sort of salesman's case? The wood box is nicely and professionally constructed. Inside there are plexiglass compartments, again professionally constructed. It will hold 120 plus Aurora Thunderjet cars.

I have quite a few T-Jet cars I've collected over the years. At one time years ago I had quite an extensive collection including many rare cars in mint condition. When prices and the value of those cars went through the roof I sold all of the more collectible cars. My collection now consists of mainly used and more common cars. But truth be told I like them the best because I can throw them on a track and run them without decreasing their value or worrying about damaging them. I've loved these little T-jet cars since I was 8 years old, and yes I still have some of my original cars. After 57 years they are still my favorites!

Looks good Rico!

10 - 4 Rico. It's yours!

This morning Zack stopped by Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway for a test session with his prototype 2NASTE chassis. Zack had the chassis assembled and configured to his Trans Am 2 car. After running just a handful of laps he had the car settled into low four second laps. Zack let me take the car for a spin and I'll tell you this car is impressive! It is better than any of my current Scholer chassis cars. It is much more forgiving and can be pushed very hard in the corners! I'm really looking forward to these chassis being available! Thanks Zack!

This is a really small chassis built by Bob.

This looks to be some sort of unlimited class chassis?

This is a narrow sports car chassis.

Another wider sports car chassis.

This chassis could also be fitted with various bodies. This Ferrari F50 was just one body option for this chassis.

Another one of Bob's D3 chassis.

The dimensions of this chassis allow it to accept different bodies and compete in various classes. It is seen here with a Mercury body, but some Trans Am and later model stock car bodies also fit this chassis.

Bob was a pioneer in the world of 1/24 hard body slot car chassis building. His chassis still represent the leading edge of hard body chassis design. Here are a few of Bob's creations for you to take a look at.

This was a Porsche 962 Bob raced. Note the piece of electrical circuit board use as a terminal block for the motor wire to guide flag connection point.

This chassis was built to compete in Pelican Park's TT Class and features a Resilient Resins body made by the late Doug Haynes.
