I started HO proxy racing here several years ago because of Woodcote. Yep, I'm totally blaming him. It was the thing to do during Covid.   (Thank you again, Andy)

Andy thankfully set me up with cars and good advice. I made a small test track. I fell flat on my face for a few races. Then I actually won a T-jet race! Uh oh... Now the bug has me by the short and curlies.

My test track was exactly like Andy's, except it was AFX instead of Micro Scalex.

I was sad when it was over. But, so was the Covid panic. Not sad about that.

I joined NitroSlots in the USA and fell flat on my face again. Man, those guys are fast! They run up to 22' foot length tracks with insane power supplies. 26V @20-amps times two for open classes. There is no way I can compete unless I can test cars.

My house doesn't have a 22' foot long space for an HO drag track. My garage was built in 1955, and the only creatures using it are raccoons, and various other critters. It's also becoming one with the ground as the wood from 1955 rots away. The old garage measured 22' long by 14' feet wide.

   
   

A small tractor turned it into a small pile of sticks in under 30-minutes.
