Here are the two kits I own. Check out ebay for used cars to beat up.

Sizzlers are da bomb. The technology is the same as when I was a kid, and the're just as much fun today for my little guys too.

I have been slotcar racing 1/32nd scale cars for years. You can get cars from all kinds of racing series either in ready to run or in body or kit form. I have a friend that has a 4 lane track that has had a 32foot long straight at one point.

Ok.
I'm selling my Camaro.
This looks cheaper,
and you can go to the big roadcouse everyday.

[MuscleRodz]

I have seen many railroad setups like that, but never a slot car track. Way cool!

[BA.]

very cool looking setup!

I think I still have a Sizzler or two laying around somewhere. i LOVED them things!
I only had a small slot car track but damn it was fun. I remember taking my 70 Mustang sizzler body and mating it to a slot-car chassis Painted it solid black. Is that Hot Rodding at 14 yrs old???

[shortrack]

very cool set up Stickman........Im 2 time track champion in the Nascar class at our local track until the track owner got bored and closed the place.....good time and I really enjoyed the competition..... at that level not as cheap as you might think.......if I had the room in the house Id have a track for sure.

[vanzuuk1]

Nice track scott! It has helped inspire me, there is something taking shape in my garage....

[wedgehead]

We had a track here that we raced at every week. The cost to race for me and my two kids was very expensive for the tires and all to be competive. We had all the trick stuff and raced several classes. It was very fun and very tough racing. the track had two tracks one we raced nascar cars and trucks and the other we raced wing cars. If you have never seen a wing car it is awesome the speeds that they actually go. It was fun.

[Paul_J]

The track I used to race is in Northwest Houston. Their track is completely hand made by the club members. They have plenty of classes to keep the cost of racing way down.

^^^COOL! Rupp, go cover that for a mag!

[bingham72]

Fun stuff to play with especially in the winter when you can't get out of the house with your ride. My brother I stayed up all night during an ice storm racing these. Now "my son" requested a track for Christmas. :)

My uncle and I would have
Le mans races on our AFX tracks,

[vanzuuk1]

I got it bad, ordered some more track today. You can also find vintage decals and hop up parts like motors and bearing, even rims. Oh boy...

This is a group of racers that is somewhat local to you Vanzuuk. Great guys to be around and race with. They don't typically have the scenic tracks but do love to race. Let them know Neil sent you.

[vanzuuk1]

Hey neil thanks a million.

[qwik1320]

Neil - that's way cool! How much do you charge for track time, since I'm local I can bring the Yuengs!!

Well not it's not my track. But there is no charge. We have donated like $2 on race night. The track is pretty different now from what the pics show. Still a large 4 lane track. Although there is a no drinking rule. Family night based rule. They race like every other friday night.
