Slot Car Meet Progress.

I thought I would start a new thread on the updates on the slot car track progress. We talked about it in this thread.... http://www.norcalvdubs.com/t878-sactown-crew-meeting-saturday-night-8-6-11

Today we made some head way. Wasn't planning on even getting to this room today. We were planning on making space in a smaller room for the sewing machine and scooters. We did that and ended up in the track room. We still need to service the track and do a bit more cleaning in the overall room, but we are getting there. I am hoping to hopefully be able to it ready for a meet sometime after Bug O Rama!

So here is a before pic,


and here is what we did today!





We added a couch for more seating and also added a table to work on the cars on. We have emailed our track guy and are waiting for a reply from him. We are hoping to get him to come over and help us set up some cars for everyone to use. He has some hard body cars that we would like to use, so hopefully he will get back to us soon. If not we will set up some of our soft body cars. You can also bring your own cars and triggers if you want. The track will handle some 1/32 cars but the 1/24 cars are the best.

I will update as we go along and let everyone know how things are coming along.

I moved this to the Events area cuz I figured this would be something for both groups. I think this will be fun!

That track looks sweet. This will be fun.

Hey, I finally have an update!!

The track guy will be here on Wed. of this week!!!! 9/21/11. He is going to get us all set up for some racing! Once he is done, and all is a go. I will try to set up a Saturday afternoon/evening to have you guy's over for some racing!!

Stay tuned!!!

Oh, and if you all like it, maybe we can have our (SacTown) monthly meetings here?

I would love to drive down and do a little racing.

Would it be an issue if I don't own a slotcar? I'd love to participate!

Nope, no one needs a slot car!! You can bring what you have, if you have it, but if not, we will have cars. That is why the track guy is coming over!! He will be fixing and replacing some of our "rental" cars. No, you don't have to rent them, it will be free. They are called rental cars because they are more heavy duty compared to the other more professional type cars.

For those of you that have cars, the 1/24's work best on this track. The 1/32 cars that look like the real thing will work, depending on the car.

Cool. I remember taking over the kitchen table with my little setup in comparison to yours.

This is going to be fun!

That is really looking good.
