Being a child of the fifties, the startup of slot car racing is in my blood. Cox, with the others being Monogram and Revell, are my top 3 favourite producers from that period.
Sharing a few of my cars, starting with the F1's

       

Here is the place to share any useful scenery images you might have, such as backdrops,  advertising banners, buildings, textures etc.

Here's my track, Whichwood Quarry.

       

It's a temporary analogue Scalextric layout, mixing Sport and Classic track, with some attempt at scenery modules, buildings, figures, trees etc. The layout measures 3.5m x 1.5m and has lane lengths of nearly 20m.

       

       

It loosely recreates a rally set in the 1970s, which is my favourite era and type of motor sport. It's actually based on my experiences of going to watch the R.A.C. Rally as a youngster, in the cold, and often bleak conditions of the Yorkshire countryside in winter. Although it's a rally track, I've kept it as a two lane circuit, mainly because people like racing against each other, rather than against the clock.

       

The scenery is made almost entirely from free materials, and it's all built in modules, so that I can dismantle it and pack the track away. I've used cardboard for the borders, walls and general structure, polystyrene packaging for the rock faces, collected heather and twigs for the trees, moss for the shrubby weeds, sawdust for the grass and leaves, and scouring pads for hedges. The main cost for the scenery was in glue and paint.

Over the years I have built many many cars, and then for one reason or another, I have disposed of them. Some of them I Really wish I had kept.

DO you have any cars in this group?

A few of mine.....

Hi! JasonB here, one of the founder members of this forum. I've been an admin on SlotForum for a while, but have found that increasingly hard work, because of the forum owners. So I, along with several others have decided to set up this new forum, which is owned, and run by and for slot car enthusiasts. Hope you enjoy it.

My favourite motorsport is classic rally, and my slot track reflects that. I like to have a slippery track, and I like my cars to wag their tails all over the place. It's just not rallying if the cars aren't sideways.

I also love designing tracks, and you'll find plenty of my layouts in the plans section of the main website, as well as scattered around here in the forum.
