I received my classic Scalextric set as a birthday present from my sister in
2000. Growing up she remembered I use to have a slot car track in our
basement and she thought I might like to have one again. Boy was that an
understatement! My friend John Delvalle and I put this track up in my
basement and started racing and landscaping. Every Friday night,
John would come on by and we would race for hours and then do a little
landscaping. Then I heard of the Rad-Trax slot car track contest early in
2002 and we worked diligently for a month to submit pictures to the
contest. It was (notice the past-tense) 36 feet long using individual
Scalextric power packs for each
lane. Lanes were reversible and the controllers were Parma 45 Ohm.
It became one of the circuit tracks in our WSSCA slot car
club. The best pictures were taken by Bob Schleicher of Model
Car Racing Magazine and are shown in Issue #7. We had made some
improvements to the landscaping for the magazine shoot and his magazine has
those updated pictures. Even I don't have those pics. The track was
disassebled in early 2003 so the new wooden track could be built.
