Years before I bought my first home and had space for a slot car track I used to follow Luf's frequent track-building projects on his excellent oldslotracer.com website. His advice, and track-building tools gave me the encouragement to tackle my first routed slot car track back in 2010. That track was operational for about a year before I took it down and built the current version of Woodland Trace Raceway, which is still running well today.
Around the time I was building my first track I had the opportunity to visit Luf while traveling with my daughter throughout BC. She had to run back to Seattle and I was left with an afternoon free. I gave Luf a call, and on very short notice he readily welcomed me to his home and I got spend a few hours turning laps with him on one of the earlier versions of Targa Burnaby.
Luf, you are a top-notch guy. I want to thank you for the tips, tools, and encouragement you gave me to build my first routed track and for happily welcoming me into your home on short notice. Best of luck in your new home!
Here's a pic from that afternoon so many years ago...
