Hello all,
           My name is Bruce. I am 43 from Ohio. Just started getting into slot car racing about a month ago. A buddy of mine built a descent sized digital Carrera track in his basement, a 1/24 and 1/32 track, we bought a couple cars and off to racing we went. It has been a blast so far. We are really enjoying it. I have a Ford Capri Zakspeed in the 1/24 scale and a BMW in the 1/32 scale. Also just purchased a Fort GT race car in the 1/32 and a Ford Mustang in the 1/32 but haven't had the chance to race with these two as of yet. Had to buy the Mustang to compete with my buddy's Firebird.

 I am actually hoping this community can help get me started in painting and building my own cars. Especially the 1/24 scale. There are a lot of 1/32 scale cars I like on Carrera's site so I will probably end up with about 7 or so cars. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of the 1/24 scale cars that I really like so I am really interested in finding bodies and doing my own paint schemes to them. I am just not sure where to start as far as the chassis goes. I don't think I'm ready for the build my own chassis route. I'm wondering if there are ready to go chassis and all I need to do is slap my painted bodies on them? What bodies go with what chassis? These are the kind of things I really am excited to learn about.

Anyway hope everyone is staying safe and look forward to learning from you all and sharing some of my paint schemes and builds if I ever get that far.
