Thats pretty awesome, sucks though that slot cars get boring after about 5 minutes.

Kinda like model rockets. 30 seconds of Oooo! Ahhh!, ok, what's next.

Well, you then review the on board telemetry, rate of acceleration, angle and height at the apogee, and then check to see if whatever critter you attached to the rocket survived the journey.

I did not know I was not supposed to put critters in them. That explains all the PETA mail I have been getting. That's ok though, the therapy sessions for the hamsters was getting exspencive.

Yes and no. When Carter got out of the whitehouse things were almost as bad as they are now. Driving around racing slotcars helped pay the bills. Some of those races had as much as $1200 payouts. But it was not so easy at those levels.
