Don't quit scratch building cars! Put silicone tires on yours and run 'em! Then you have a reason to see your creations come alive! You can always take the silicone tires off for the times your find a track that doesn't allow them. I'm the only one in my area that builds cars. It sure would be fun if others would, too! That's why I get on these forums... to see what others build. Store bought cars are nice and with a little effort many run great but one you build up from a few bits and pieces is so much fun and fun for others who may live vicariously through your efforts!

I reckon I've done enough! I spend more time reading and listening to music these days. My hatred of silicone tyres goes back to the 1960's when I was racing for Howard Taylor. Someone used them at the Luton 24 hour race and completely spoiled the track for everyone else. It had to be cleaned off so we could carry on racing. Sounds daft perhaps but I just refuse to consider putting them on my cars.
