And not the traditional way Mark and I love slot car racing because it's fun and you get to drive smaller versions of race cars you would never have a shot to drive. See my blog entry about it. How'd you like to see how Grand Prix racers see a track? No, not the traditional... Continue Reading →

Cool cars I have driven

I hate to brag but.....   This car blog has presented me with opportunities I might not have had.

It's official my and Mark's slot car tracks are crap When I worked with Mark at Kalmbach Publishing he and a couple of other guys there got me into slot car racing. They gave me one crappy car and I was hooked. What car guy wouldn't be? I was sucked in and started buying more... Continue Reading →

Slot cars: Monogram’s ’67 Pearson Ford

Back in 1967 stock cars weren’t anything fancy, in fact, they were pretty much just that, stock cars with headlights taped up and numbers painted on the sides. They still had stock bumpers and bodies – no templates! There were a select group of top drivers then, just as now. But long before Jimmie Johnson,... Continue Reading →
