Ok. I don't feel so bad about my addiction now.  Bigsmile  

That is one awesome place! I saw 1/32 scale cars on the shelves, but is there a 1/32 track in there?

Thanks for posting!

I really have to figure out how to meet this guy! He is only a 90 minute drive from my house. 
Do you think it would be OK to look him up and just give him a call? I would feel really awkward to just drive to his home and "pop in" without any prior introduction.

By chance Greg if you check out this forum, please please drop me a PM.

Perhaps a way of life sounds better than the word addiction. Sun 
As long as I enjoy it and it doesn't hurt, it remains a nice hobby.

I believe that the owner of the house above, passed away within a very few years after it was built.

Scuderia, 
Thanks for the info. Yes I found Craig's obituary online. He passed away at the early age of 54 in 2015.

Cool house. Incredible that his wife went along for the ride.

A reason to learn how to build slot cars from scratch. Just in case there are no slot cars in Heaven. We can build our own when we get there.  Checkeredflag

No where near as that in the OP but having been asked recently about my slot car dedication, the answer wasn't a real surprise but it still raised the eyebrows somewhat.

Since 5th May 2017 when I started with the Scalextric Digital ARC PRO Platinum set, I've spent $34,271.79 which includes my home MrTrax track at $11,000

Am I addicted? Probably, though this is my real first hobby I've gotten into this deep.
