Ive had a few people express interest of having practices and races at my new track and while I am holding off currently in regards to holding a race due to the full schedule we currently have I was thinking of opening the track up Tuesday April 21st at 6PM for a track day.

I would love to find a way to get thicker bodies for the 4.5" so it allows for us to have longevity on them. Over all while it was a small crowd it was still a great time. Looking forward to progressing the 4.5" class.

I would like some feedback on when would be a good time to arrange this. I know we are starting to wind down on our race season so would this be more beneficial to take place after the race season comes to an end or just a random Saturday in between races?

Im not sure if this is the right area to post this in but I was curious what everyone's thoughts would be on Meeting up at one of our tracks and having a  " slot car swap meet " bring our cars that are collecting dust or model kits or anything that may draw interest and have a track day while doing swapping, buying, trading, selling etc.

maybe have a lunch as well.

Let me know thoughts on this

Jim,

Thank you Bob Scott did an excellent job on this. I am letting this season finish and hopefully will be able to be a part of track owners meetings to find a time that will be suitable for everyone to have some races. I am currently unsure what classes will be ran but I will make sure its classes that are already in circulation so no new cars are needing to be built. I hope to hold a few open houses this spring/summer to let people come over and have a bbq or something.

Thank you Bill for the write up and also coming to assist with assemble and teaching me the glue technique. This has been a fun addition thus far and looking forward to holding multiple races and having a good time. I will be looking into having a parts selection available as well to help racers have what they need to build cars.

One quick story I have which shows why I love this hobby:

Yesterday for Easter was a beautiful day so I had the garage door open and had the kids running cars on the track when a Neighbor walked by and heard the sound of winding motors and decided to take a look and realized it was a slot car track. After a little conversation he asked if he could show his son and grand children and I said absolutely. About 10 minutes went by and he comes back with the other 3 and holding an older Parma tool box with a flexi 2 lexan car sporting the ever so fast Pink endbell 16d motor. It took me a few minutes to put new braids and new tires on it and it ran like brand new so I let the son and grand kids run it around a few laps then decided to put a controller in each of their hands and put my "go-Karts" on the track so all 4 of them could race together. The smiles on their face and the laughs that were had made it worth every penny. I took a few pictures for them to have as an Easter memory and who knows we may have some new racers before we know.

I for one love the midget cars and for the price of the kit to have a ready to run car for around $100 or less you cant beat it. Only downside is I wish the chassis was a little more durable.
