Hello fellow slot fans

Hi All,

I'll have been into slot cars for 3 years come this December.  I had no idea that slot cars still existed until I wandered into my LHS 3 years ago.  I didn't really have many slot cars as a kid, although my brother who is 12 years my senior had a few Aurora AFX sets that he never let me near, lol.  So three years ago I wander into a hobby shop to poke around, as I never frequented them before.  I go to the back of the store and my jaw dropped when I saw the 1/32 cars available.  I had no idea that slot cars were still in existence, let alone in that scale.  From that point on I dove right into both scales.  

In those 3 years I've built a 4 lane Scaley 1/32 track measuring 16x6, and I'm on my second HO track.  My first HO track was a TOMY 4 lane layout measuring 12x3.  That has since been replaced by a 12x4 MaxTrax.  Both tracks are wired positive polarity with directional reversing switches. 

I refer to myself as primarily a 1/32 racer, although I think I do so mainly because I don't race HO very well...not that my 1/32 skills are much better!  As these 3 years have passed, I've grown to enjoy and appreciate HO scale racing more and more.  The local club I race with (CRL in the MD/DC/VA area) is a magnet racing club, racing hard body Super Stock configured cars with slip on silicone tires in lieu of silicone sponge tires.  If it were up to me, we'd be racing T-Jets, Non-Magnatraction and Magnatraction cars all day long.  I just love those breed of cars.  I haven't raced any of the Riggens brass cars, but those look appealing as well.

Well, that's enough rambling for now.  I'm going to start exploring the site...

Thanks!
