Just got my kits today! cant wait to get started on these. My tire molds for both style tires are done, so I can have Box art realism, and traction too. Already have several sets poured and cured. These should be a blast on my little scale 1/8th mile track. Plan is brass chassis', Jaws or colgate motors, 9/33 gears and skinny a$$ rear tires. should add up to a handful of crossed up power sliding action! Going to do the first group using the box art as the template, as I really like the old school look of these cars. Then I will probably do some up in a similar way using my own color choices and decals. should be an absolute hoot!

Looking forward to seeing these cars come to life on your, and other guys, tracks.

Where are all you guys getting these models? Is there a single source you're ordering from?

Are these actual old school car bodies, or fabrications of some sort? They look cool but have no real resemblance to any makes and models I know about. But they may be based on cars from the 20's & 30's, an era I don't know much about car-wise.

Ate these 1:32 or 1:24/25 models? They look pretty cool!

BOB!!!

This is brilliant, I am going to enjoy your posts so much!!

And slothead, you might like to try this, I watch it over and over.. :)

Great video - thanks for posting it. Standing on the top row of the grandstands as a feature full of dirt track modifieds power through turns 3 and 4 on their way to take the green flag is my favorite thing in sports. Love it.

One odd thing though, check out image at 2:08. The cars are going clockwise, which means turning right. I've never seen an oval race, dirt or asphalt, that wasn't counter-clockwise, all left turns. Maybe that image was from England or Australia, where they may have a different style. I've never even driven clockwise on a slot car oval, just would't be right somehow.
