I have new web space. No longer will these files be split among three different sites.

 

Please go to UX5490.US as the pages here will no longer be updated.

 

 

 

The simple html file format that Tracker 2000 produces is perfect for posting hundreds of designs. I am using Microsoft Word for the index files and it certainly enjoys using a lot of space so I am trying to limit my use of it. As a result some of my design pages may have broken links because of my hand editing, please email me.

 

Not all these designs are mine. I hope I have given proper credit to everyone who has contributed to this page, but I am sure I have missed some. I have been drawing and collecting for two years and I haven’t always noted where I got some plans. Hopefully from now on I will keep better records J

 

All these layouts were produced with, or reproduced with, Tracker 2000.

 

Tracker 2000 files are all text. You can view and modify any of the files using any text editor. You can Find & Replace part numbers, if you want to convert from Classic to Sport, for example. Here is a cross-reference part number table.

 

Most of the layouts are designed in Scalextric Classic. Sport track is the same size so they are easy to convert. Some Carrera, Ninco, Artin, and Revell layouts are noted and mixed in with all the Scalextric designs.

 

Scalextric Sport Digital is coming! I have redesigned my current layout, The Rabbit, to include a few lane-changer pieces. SSD Rabbit. The Tracker definition file in which I created the new lane change pieces can be found here. Please note that this file will change before the whole digital thing is sorted out.

I use Tracker 2000 to draw these plans. T2K can produce an HTML page of instructions to build a design and I use it for all of the design pages. Thanks to Edwin Dorré for writing Tracker 2000.

I use SlotRace Manager 2 in DOS with an old laptop PC to time my laps. I use MS-DOS batch files to exchange data with my Windows PC. toflop.bat copies the data on the hard drive to a floppy, fromflop.bat copies the data from the floppy to the hard drive. Right click these links and ‘Save target as…’ to your SRM drawer on your Windows computer. Copy them to your exchange floppy and then to the SRM drawer on the DOS machine so you won’t have to type a path. From your lap-timing DOS computer type ‘fromflop’ or ‘toflop’ to run them. On your Windows machine they will run with a double-click. The SRM drawer must be named C:SRM in all cases.

My favorite place to learn about slot cars is Slot Car Illustrated. I post on the Message Board at SCI when I get a chance.

Ken McClellan has been kind enough to save many of my designs at SCI in Slotict’s Layout Archive J

 

Be sure to visit my friend Dennis David’s Grand Prix History site.

 

For good information on electrical and electronics for slot car tracks see my friend Brent’s site. Carlson’s Slot Cars.

I have to mention Al Penrose as he is a slot car aficionado. He makes the best wheels on Earth. BWA Wheels.

 

I started a Photobucket account. Adding pictures as I can…

You can see slot car images and track designs at my Star Photo page.  Check out the Friends I have on there. Seems StarPhoto has gotten very slow, therefore new pics will be posted on Photobucket.

 

I could spend hours here:                Motor Racing Circuits Database

 

I have been making buildings from designs I have found at Carrera4Fun.

Here are pictures of my Paper Buildings. There is also the start of a How I Did It.

 

 

More Links Here Sometime Soon…

 

Always changing… Thank you for looking!

Well, not changing much when I am working a lot, sorry. I work construction so it’s “Early to bed, early to rise.” during construction season. I do put a lot of work into the plans and this site when I am on winter lay-off, usually from mid-January until early March (6-8 weeks.)

Please let me know if you find broken links, I’ve been getting a bit bug-eyed ;)
