Seems like the right thing to do. Ask the "fetching Mrs. Reinecke" if he needs sweetening, so you are covered one way or another.

Most of us remember how excited I was to have the original track from our group when it started, before my time. Removed from storage, carefully reassembled, and up and running ready for scenery in just a few weeks, things looked pretty rosy... Apparently, that storage might have been moist, because...

I am thinking that maybe I can insert an elevated loop into the existing track without actually disturbing the old track elevation at all. I'm hoping I can dig out a hole to put the ramp upward in, and do the same where the downward ramp falls. If it fails, I will set a record for Bondo, I guess.

Looking further, I realize I would only gain about 6 feet of lane length after all that work. There are only two places where I can put the loop and avoid blind spots, and neither of them is worth it. I'm going to go with better scenery and leave the track alone.

Having made my decision I went back to work taking the old track and framework down, and BONK! I hit myself in the temple with a 38" prybar. I was prying a couple of 2X4's apart , the wood on one of them failed, and I took the other end of the bar right in the temple on my left. Now I'm grounde...

One of the greatest slot car movies of all time! Its becoming uncomfortable to think about how close I came to serious injury, which is doubly awful since I have been a tool guy for over 45 years. No kidding. People call all the time to say, "Since you have every tool known to man, I called you...

Sure, I want to see them.

I'm making a list of what I want now...

Okay, I'm writing the PM now.

Great photos! I love seeing stuff like this.

A half millimeter offset is pretty small. Can we have some kind of description as to which way the offset is? I don't see any offset at all in the excellent photos, I assume that's because half a millimeter is such a tiny amount of space. We used to build chassis that used hypoid gears to lower the ...

WHAT?!?!?

"What The Hey?" Euphemism for "What the h*ll?" Expressing surprise as well as anger... I predict an unexpected boom for Scalextric at the holidays. Carrera may have trouble getting their containers into port- suspicion of contamination maybe? Ever heard of a Japanese Inspection? ...

There you go, Matt. Easy fix.
