Possibly Racing on a Slot car track, what scales could work?
There is a new slot car facility that has opened up that will have 3 long tracks, and even a road course. Looking at the size of the cars they run, they look very close to 1/18 scale, just a tad smaller.
If they allowed RCs on the track, what scales would make up well? Since they are slots, there are I beleive 4 to 5 lanes, not sure the width, but I would say about 1 1/2 car length on either side of the outer slot.
I was thinking of something like an Iwaver or Mini-Z. Though, maybe standard 1/18 scales like Micro RS4 and BRP SC18s?
Thoughts?

We have some resurfaced old slot car tracks that we race on here in Sweden.
This is my car - a scratch built 1:27 Open car with a Slot car lexan body (you can mount one on a Mini-Z as well).
Here's a video of the action

awsome idea for re-cycling the track.

Here's a pic of the chassis without the body - same size as a Mini-Z
