Hot Rods Drag racing..... slot cars?

Here are some pictures from our Club's last race:

 

cool cars. I like your clubs track.

 

BTT!!! A few new builds for the upcoming winter racing season.

 

what are you using for bodies these days?

 

anybody in Arizona doing this.if so Im there!

 

those are some badass builds. way to keep this going.

 

Here's some stuff left over from 10 years ago. I used to have almost 100 cars at one time. I got into the hard body thing heavy!!!!

 

that is coooolll.


I tried to get something going around here for a while, nothing. Some guys have a track, pretty nice 1/8 miler. I havent stopped by for a while, my kids lost interest.

 

This thread is sooo killer!!!! Wish I had that talent.

 

Most of us are using hard palstic model bodies. There are also a lot of lexan bodies available but they are not as realistic looking.

 

Theres some sweet cars in here. I used to run them about 15 years back; that was before I could drive. The place has closed down since then, but I still have a car or two.

 

this shit is too cool! where do you get the kit from wheels motors etc. i'm building a new house and it has a long attic, i kid everyone about putting a slot car drag strip up there? or am i kidding?!

 

You can get ready to run cars available from Parma. I build my own chassis with kits from JDS & WRP, they are built with piano wire or stainless tubing. All the parts are available at the track we race at or you can find a ton of stuff on evilbay.

 

WOW! This is cool. I am building a few myself.

 

i have been collecting eldon track since 1970 how many pieces will it take for a scale 1/4 mile
i have some strombecker too

lots of cars and a few dragsters

 

cool! i'm familiar with parma, when i was a kid i had enough in r/c cars to have a badass real car!? i'll be looking! thanks. cya herb.

 

A scale 1/4 mile track is 55 feet long then you need some more for shut down.

 

Found some more cars up in the loft!!!

 

Several good tracks here in Michigan. I race at Slotcar Mania in Westland. Drag racing every Wednesday & Friday

 

Some photos of the 2010 Winternationals in Germany:

 

There are 4 tracks here in Central Ohio.. You have SpeedyO's which is 1/4 mile then you have Top Fuel, Ctown, and Mopar that are 1/8 mile. It is funny how many real dragracers there are into this also.. For more info you can check out club (400) drag board or Bracket500.com

 

I've noticed this post hasn't been generated for the past two years .

The slotcar hobby is been growing by leaps and bounds and slot car drag racing is becomming more common everyday .

At this point it's hard to say how many slotcar tracks are operating . Most are club type garage/baement circuits with several commercial tracks operating in every state .

The scales run from HO scale to 1/24th .

Goole some info up and check it out .

How many slotcar racers do we have now .

I'm 1

I miss it and have been looking into getting a HO track for now but then step back into the 1/24 hardbodies again...........anyone in arizona down for this

 

Not really a drag car but a cool kitbash project!

 

I thought it might be a good thing to bump this post up .

Cooler weather has pushed slot car season into full tilt boogie .

Our 1/25th slot car drag season opened on Saturday .

Let's see where this goes .
