    Danny,
    Those are too COOL!! I have a friend here in Arizona that used to really be into Slot Car Drag Racing. He owned his own little shop where people would race. It was a lot of fun.

    I enjoyed the picts.

    Sorry,i had to say that.
    Danny thats way cool man! When I was young,we had a place here people had a track 6 or 8? lanes wide.The place was huge.I guess it faded out in the early 70's.Nice to know some one is keepin it alive.
