Hello All,

Greetings from Mississippi, USA.  It has been 60+ years since I have been involved in the hobby.  I raced on commercial tracks when a teenager back in the 60's until the hobby died out in my area.  I have always been a car fanatic and currently own a full size 68 Mercury Cougar and an 87 Bill Elliot Special Thunderbird.  I was intrigued recently with some slot car posts in my car groups.  Started searching the web for what was available and got the bug.  I recently purchased a Carrera 132 digital set and am up to seven cars and various accessories in about 3 weeks time.  I settled on digital because I think it is more realistic but also because I am a caregiver for my wife and confined to home most of the time.  Digital gives me the functionality of competing when I have no one else to race against and the ability to adjust speeds for my wife and grandkids.  I would love to build my own vehicles but not sure if I will be able to devote enough time to the effort.  I have a special interest in early NASCAR, Trans AM, classics, and hot rod style vehicles.  Your site is very informative.  I am looking forward to diving in and really learning the hobby.  Ron
