Welcome aboard the Northwest slot car world. I don't know where you live but there is a lot of tracks of different scales to race in our area. If you want to check out 1/24th. racing, there are 3 active tracks in the Portland and Vancouver area and 2 more soon to be on the schedule. I have a race this Sat. the 26th. ( Rapid Raceway ) if you want to check it out. Coffee and goodies are on the bench at all times! Doors open at 11:30am and racing starts at 1:00pm.

Thanks Bill. This repair looks good in the picture, but in person it is not that good looking of a body repair, but after all it is a slot car going into battle again.

Repairing damage from a race at Springwater Raceway. 1st. picture is the damage, yes that is a hole!
2nd picture is screen on the underside with Shoe Goo holding it in place.
3rd. picture is topside showing the screen.
4th. picture is the Glazing putty added.
5th. picture is the results, good enough for a slot car. This car has been in racing for many yrs. and to buy a new 3 window '36 Ford is expensive if you can find one! No matter what the damage I will repair as best as I can.
Bill will add photos when he gets time. Thanks Bill.

For the area that the track is in if I owned it I would have to have to add the word "country" in the name somewhere. Should be interesting to see what he names it.

Bill; you got a lot of pictures of me with my hands in my pockets! Good thing that is not a picture for my resume! Dwayne has a co-worker that everyone calls "pockets" because that is where his hands are most of the time!
That is going to be a fun track once again. Has Ron put a new name on it yet?

Topic: New chassis. (1 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
I bought this chassis from Professor Motor several months ago. I paid about $70.00 + shipping. It turned out to be too small for what I needed. $50.00.
When Bill gets time he will post a picture.

Mitch; I like the Bluegroove bodies a lot also. This will probably be the last "thin" body I will do................................I probably said that before.
Bill; I "may" just change the motor to a newer style, or maybe not!! I may just see how this one runs after being in the drawer for the last 20+ yrs!
