The 2011 event was the first to feature the HO Zone. In addition to a small demo track and some displays, we built a huge layout to host the 'HO Grand Prix'. Here's a video I made of the day...
It was certainly a very hectic day - although I did find a couple of minutes to get out of the HO room and meet Marc and Ric for the first time. The HO Grand Prix was never repeated. The HO Zone has evolved into a fabulously interactive area over the years - thanks to the hard work and dedication of Andy Whorton - and shows off modern AFX, Auto World and Micro Scalextric racing systems as well as the old-school Minic, Model Motoring, Matchbox Powertrack, plus the Brad Bowman routed track and some fabulous 1/64 scale scenic creations.
A particularly vintage year in the HO Zone was 2014, which Top Down has remembered here: https://slotracer.online/community/showt...p?tid=1307
