Hello, just stumbled onto this site today!!! Looking forward to looking around.
Like so many, I got involved with slot cars as a kid in the 60's. Didn't really do a lot of commercial racing. I lived in a rare pocket in the mid '60's in which there were no commercial slot car tracks for 100 miles in any direction.
Started with an Xmas Strombecker set, my dad eventually made me a 4 lane track out of the Kal Kar masonite pre slotted modular track sections that could be bought. I'm pretty sure he sourced the modules from Auto World.
Grew up, got out of slots, into 1:1 scale Lotus cars (my screen name is the ENTIRE VIN for an Europa I owned), until stumbling back onto them in early '90's. In 1994 co founded what became known as the Interstate Home Slot Racers (IHSR) which has continually run every year since. We race on 3 and 4 lane routed tracks in members' homes in PA, MD, WVA, and VA (hence the 'Interstate'). We run 1/32 scale magnet-less cars in several classes. Drop me a line if you'd like more info.
No doubt there are folks here with whom I've crossed paths on some of the other slot forums.
