I love slots.. but not the silly american plastic wing and glued to the track on some giant oval or figure 8 variant.

As a Brit.. I highly prefer the more realistic look of the 1:32 "home racing" cars.. Scalextric, Ninco, SCX, Fly, etc. Wooden routed (no substance!) or plastic track. Scenery is a bonus! I had a giant 4lane road course a few years back.

My 5yo son is now into the 1:43 SCX sets you can find at Target. It's a step down from the real 1:32 but a good stepping point for him. Of course he also loves his Slash now.

I don't like Wing Cars so much, but I do like 4" and 4.5" NASCAR (Lexan), GTP, Go Carts, Dirt Outlaw.
The track Tommy had at Prime Time was great and a blast to drive. The Hill Climb at CMS Hobby is fun to drive. I need way more time on the track to be as good as the regulars.
I've been to the track in Acworth but never when they run Flexi Cars and I have been by the place in Dallas but they were not open.
I'm not into the Hard Body stuff with the Pro Track Style Chassis. The FCR Lexan box stock is fun to run on the figure eight in Cartersville.
All I own now is 4" Flexi's and one 4.5" flex chassis but I have been known to races some body elses car of any chassis just because

Between dad an Shaun they probably have about 15+ 4.5" FCR's and three 4" FCR's (lexan truck bodies.. SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE) Right now they are both in Dallas racing 4.5 Hard body Nascars. They are a lot of fun to drive, but I still prefer the 4" trucks. With any luck, we may get that class going next season. You should come on out some time, we'll hook you up with a car Tonight is the last race of the points series so I dont know what the schedule is going to look like. I'm sure it will still be 4.5 FCR's on Friday though.

keith is in the process. i also have gotten into the 1:32 cars and i run them quite reguarly up at discover mills mall. a ton of fun tio drive and they really train you to be smooth and milk the car for all it is worth.

Hey, I have run that Engleman before! Just one time when it was at a place on the other side of Stone Mtn.
Now it's closer I can try to run it again.
