New member to the site race mostly 1/43 scale & some 1/32nd. What started out as an SCX set for my son at X-mass morphed into a full blown obssesion. We
curently race on a 4 lane set up on a 5 x 12 table. Full color coded drivers station lap timer 2000 to screens scenery etc etc. It's not a nice as a wood
routed track but for our needs it's perfect!

Nothing wrong with that...that is one nice layout you have there. I like how you made the borders. Looks like a great setup to me.

I have finally gotten round to joining after having been browsing the board for quite a while.
I am probably the archetypical, stereotypical 21st century slotter: used to race 1/32 cars in the sixties, searched the internet for slot car links and got active in the hobby again in August last year: just about exactly a year ago! I live in Richmond, BC in Canada and am fortunate enough to be able to race on the master track builder Luf's (Oldslotracer) Targa track on a regular basis. My car collection has grown scarily fast: seems I cannot resist pretty cars, preferably ones that strike some historical/nostalgic chord. So I now have like 75 cars of which 1/3 are shelf queens and 2/3 get raced, whether they are really competitive or not! Example: I used a stock Scaley Ferrari 250GTO on a recent Targa car race night: OK, so I got creamed, but boy, was it fun! Love the hobby!! Alwyn |

Hello, I have been lurking here for a few months now, but this is my first post. I live in southwest Ohio and have a 100' Carrera track modelled on Monza
in Italy I built early in 2008. Got hooked up with a LHS and he was able to steer me in the right direction. Once I learn how to attach pictures, I'll post
some for those who are interested.

I have edited out the pictures in this post to eliminate download data so the page can load faster.
For those who are interested, this link will take you to a thread with pics and description of my Monza layout. Note it is photo intensive. http://homeracingworld.yuku.com/topic/17228 Matt

I thought I was looking at my track until I noticed the detail. 
Test track for home racing 1/32. The DiSlot I use records to .0001. Looking to complete an installation of SRM2 and have both. Slot Race Manager 2 is a free management system that you can load your car inventory and record how many miles you put on their little odometers 
It also time to .001 which I find is usually close enough  anyway,
thanks for posting, your track looks great and I hope I get a chance to race on it

the same language.I have been looking for a place like this to share my views and my ideas and i guess i probably found the best place to do it.
Sincerely ,Marty.
