Hey pushrod, Aint no big deal if your name is Dale Buck
In reply to slowbird :
It is a terrible track, I know I made it.
In reply to Pushrod :
Now your talkin! That is a lot of track squeezed into a 4 X 8. The most interesting part is when you tell someone you can rout anything and they say I want a routed track like my old snap lock layout. Ha what a waste of time and money.
In reply to Pushrod :
I just routed a replica of this layout for the original builder of this track.
In reply to stroker :
No Sugar Daddy 510 or brown Nomad. 
Standard stuff there.
Not that I notice those things.
I started my latest production of completely custom slot cars. Ferrari 250 GTO Series 2
They can go on a Thunderjet chassis, but fit a Jag TR-3 way nicer.
In reply to Javelin (Forum Supporter) :
How are the Jag chassis? I would like a low slung chassis for under different bodies but I want Tjet speed and handling...

They are my absolute favorite chassis ever. So good that I bought one of each of their other designs and have been running the wheels off of them.
Update on the Ferraris:
This video just popped up and is worth a watch. Really clever simple setup to run two cars on a single lane and tighten everything up. You can read more about it here - http://ac2car.org/

Oooh nice
The new AFX cars are fast and just work, but I can't help but love the terrible driving but oh so good looking Auto World cars!
Off topic, but that photo created a mental image of a grid of "vintage" Trans-Am cars (circa 1968-1972) using the ASA stock car chassis from previous discussions in the GRM Forum.
<sigh>

Auto World cars can be made to work. Just takes a bit of fiddling and some spare parts.
BTW Jav, have you seen these? TFX chassis from One Stop Slot Shop.
Spendy at $30 each, but they run nice out of the box and there are different colors of wheels and gears!
In reply to Noddaz :
Oooh, TFX looks fun!
I'm headed to the season ending PHOSAR Oregon Invitational today. We are racing the new TFX for the Cup. Should be a lot of fun!

Nice! Please post about it!
Cool thread. When I was a kid back in grade school in the 60s I had the usual HO slot cars and track and hung out at the little kid hobby shop which had a nice HO track. There was also a hobby shop with a 1:24 scale high banked 6 lane track for the older cigarette smoking kids that I wasn't allowed to hang out at.
I knew an older neighbor kid that was into the large slot cars and I eventually bought an old car he had for $6. The car didn't have a body which was required to race at the hobby shop so I dismantled my Star Trek Enterprise model by dissolving the glue with water (which I discovered after placing my submarine model in the bath tub) and used the top of the engineering section for a body. I don't remember how I attached it to the car, but it was the hottest looking if not the slowest car at the track.

It was a ton of fun! 36 racers from WA, OR, CA, UT, and NV! I wasn't last and I came home with less cars (and better cars lol).
In reply to Javelin :
Great! When I race my motto is "anything but last."
Sometimes it even works. 
I got all my AMC slot cars out for a family photo:
In reply to Javelin :
That little zig-zag at the top of the elevation looked like it was killing people! Great stuff!
Looks like it was fun!
And that is a bunch of AMC cars! I am surprised you didn't race one.
