[ZOERA-SC7XX]

Very interesting thread. I raced slot cars back in the sixties and am in the process of returning to this very entertaining hobby. I also am planning to build a routed oval in my basement (20' x 7'), which will be a scale 1/5th mile track. The cars I do are mainly vintage stock cars (some from the sixties), and a few new Reality-Raceway built modifieds which I will race at certain commercial tracks who embrace the strict rules. Slot car racing was ruined back in the 70's with the onset of expensive rewind motors, custom controllers and bodies that looked like door wedges. Some raceways are promoting accurate hard-body slot racing and northeast modified (Parma chassis) cars with sealed motors. They are fast (slow) enough for us old guys to actually see. I think it will be fun again. Anyone interested in this racing go to MODIFIED SLOT CAR RACING - Home
