Dude they look sweet!!

Are you racing HO or just 1/24?

I just finished my attic to put up 2 tracks on either side approximatly 20 ft long by 3 1/2 wide. We always had more fun with HO. Especially t-jets hopped up. All driving with those.

Wolf nice job! I remember back in the day spending hours and hours racing these things on a track we made in the basement. Kept a lot of us out of trouble in our early teenage years. Mike D.

Floydsbuick: yes i race every saturday.
70 gsx prostreet:was set up for pro mod, then i took the wing off adn repainted it to run in a class we called outlaw street stock. we ran these new sealed group 20 with .500 wide tires, i choose it because all fit in and still run a sidewinder set up. it didnt work to well but ocasionally saw late .8s on a 1000 ft track. ive been trying to get it to run with .300 tire but blew the pinion,i have to resoder before i try it again.

75 skyhawk prostock:really it was a quick replacement for the 88 regal,nothing fancy just a 16d on an inline edge chassis with a set of pro track wire wheels.it runs in the .9s regularary.

"heavy metal" 69 riviera:used to run .850s with a single mag group 20,took the group 20 for a another couple of cars. it runs on a ferrets inline wire chassis.

"sexyfur" pro mod 88 regal: my current pro mod,its best run was .756 on a 1/4 mile when it had a ball bearing group 20,after the switch to bearing group 12 its best is .8s on a 1000ft track. the chassis is a sidewinder wire chassis with ball bearings.

tameless 87 regal: ole reliable,i run er every week,way back when after i destroyed a pro truck, I salvaged the chassis and put it under a regal. the first incarnation was a cut down regal pro mod. it rans 9s on a ball bearing 20 after which i tried it for ssd hardbody but id didnt do to well. finaly i settle on a parma deathstar and shes been running 12s/10s ever since. the only other thing is it has bearings in the axles on a sidewinder wire chassis.

92 buick roadmaster pro stock:i really need to finish this, i had it done before but decided to redo it. its big heavy and slow,especially since i have .700 wide tires under it. i also took model wheels and tires and mix them with slot car wheels and tire to make it look more real.its a wrp inline chassis with a super16d.

regal car hauler:my greatest creation,it started when we had a carhauler class,it had a lexan 91 chevy car hauler body. it had an super16d and it ran a fluke pass of 1.040 on a full scale 1/4. for a long time it was ole reliable,and it won me a lot of races and money. as time went by i change the body a time or two,then after a experimenting with a spare regal i did it for real. this one im really proud of,i cut the body right at the trunk,filled the rear and what was left of the wheel wells. i had a friend make the bed and recently i cleaned it up and repainted it. it has a ferrets wire chassis and recently running with a group 20 from heavy metal for 1.000s in a 1000 ft track. that is until i took it for one more project.

70 gsconvt:ill take my camera when i go this saturday.

Howrad: i have many more slot cars including a 32 ford with a blue flame 6,a 55 street machine, a 69 el camino and also pulling trucks(were working on getting a tractor pull class going) what do you want to see :Brow:
