I’d have to agree with Toronado but to be authentic shouldn’t it be front wheel drive :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
Seriously though nice car you don’t see many of those in scale or 1:1 any more :music-rockout:

That's a Toronado by Classic, I think. Speedy little dude, too. I got a line on reproduction bodies from Classic. I may go look for a Toronado!

Sure do miss the shootout! Just wasnt in the cards this time. Would have liked to get some more driving lessons from Fred, and more winning lessons from Cheater. And i can still smell that food!!!. Maybe next year if my invites still good.

Have fun guys, i know you will!

Thank you ALL for coming and making it a great weekend! Good friends and good times.

Thank you Junior for the excellent reporting! Bonus in your next paycheck young man!

Thoughts:

1. New Scalextric inline GT cars are just a great series.
2. Thunderslots are worth the extra coin.
3. Overscale giant midgets cannot be raced without your sides hurting from laughter.
4. Pickles can build a cool piggy truck.
5. Cheater always wins :)

Thanks again all, what a HOOT! :auto-checkeredflag:

A big thanks to Cindy and Harry for hosting this event once again, always a highlight of my summer. It is always great to get away and have some good clean fun with slot cars and good people. (Cindy and Harry are the best). Thanks to SCC for all the goodies.
1. As Harry said, the Scalextric GT cars are a great series, great runners with just a pair of Quick Slicks.
2. Thuderslots are a blast
3. The Showdown series cars are another great series and Brew is quite the builder.
4. You never go hungry at HRW (Cindy makes a wicked carrot cake)
