I ran for the first time in a while tonight. Okay, we'll move that slot car editorial to the front burner.

I putting up my tracks (around the tree) today. Electric trains are cool, but slot cars are better

One of our dogs loves to play with slot cars. And by "play" I mean "maim." At least she's wagging her tail the whole time.

I love my slot cars and it is all David's fault. Our track is up this season and racing has been fierce. My Ferrari P4 is really hooked up and the Jag D Type is not the best handling one but looks so cool.

Is it awesome to day my Ferrari p4 and my jaguar D-Type. That is one of the coolest things about slot cars.

I ran my Fly Porsche GT-1 98 the other day. It's one of Fly's lightweight 1/32 cars and is now setup for a commercial track. It trades some details for speed. It got fresh tires, too. Zoom.

You know, I set up that Fly so long ago I forget the specifics. I think it had too much motor and/or too much magnet to really work on a home track. On a commercial track, though, it runs nicely.

You'll need to log in to post.
