    I just bought Vic Elford's '68 Monte Carlo 911 for $70

    No really I did... it's just 32 times smaller.





    ...and thanks to Gburner I now have another hobby.

    Hey that's a good looking car!
    Roland, Bill, you and I all have new race cars.
    When we doing it again?
    I only have 10 hours left to finish my 911, this slot thing is becoming a distraction.

    Some info you may already have.
    Jim's site, Saturday at my place he brought his own collection of 300 cars and two book cases of several hundred cars for sale.

    Any other good slot links?
    Any more 1/32 slot racers here? or in the San Diego area?

    I don't know it I should say thanks... Saturday night when something like this:

    Gburner: Hey Flätsix, you wanna try smoking a little crack?
    Flätsix: Well... maybe just a little.

    four hours later...

    Flätsix: Where did all my money go?

    lol.

    I went to the hobby shop yesterday (cause you crack dealer is closed Sat/Sun) and bought a Carrera track with Moby Dick and a 512LM. Then I made a trip to Home Despot and now I have a 8'x8' table in the garage. I'm thinking I can do a 8'x12' and have it attach to the ceiling.

    Now the question is what track to I build?

    This place has decent prices and shows pretty much everything for every car maker.

    Give me till next weekend and I'll make Bill Noon's car collection look like Fred Sanford's (in 1/32 scale).
    Torsion Bar Impaired... again.

    That's funny!
    PM me with your email address.

    Jim and his buddy are going to visit after the Super Bowl to get the track ready for races.
    Phillipe is pretty sharp and is going to convert the track from negative polarity to postive and add a reverse direction switch.
    Convert to aligator clip style controller stations and color code the lanes in critical areas too.
    Next on the list a transistor-based controller....with adjustable brake and gain controls.
