Hello my name is Cameron and I am 12 years old. Harry is my papaw.
This my first slot car report. This is my new Pontiac Firebird I got for Christmas. It is one of my fastest cars.

here is me with my Pontiac.

I took these pictures myself. these are the first I have ever done.
The Pontiac Firebird is my favorite because it runs the smoothest on my track. It also has great details that I enjoy. And I enjoy the muscle car look to it.

Thank you. I hope you enjoyed my post.
Slot car racing is my favorite hobby at this age.

Great post - welcome aboard. Slot car racing was my favorite hobby at 12 and still is 50 years later.
Now get your pawpa to help you build a custom chassis for a car of your own design and you'll be good to go for years to come.
One more thing - there are these things in life called girls (then women) who can become quite a distraction in the future. The ones who understand the love for cars and hobbies are the best of the bunch. Stay strong young slotter!

That is a nice looking car, 4 more years and your papaw can buy you the 1/1 scale Firebird.
Have fun with that car and drive it like a Bandit.

Atta boy, Cameron! That's just fine. You watch your grandfather and look at how he lives. He's a good man, and there many of us left.

Good job on the pictures, that car did not get the attention it should have when it came out, glad to see you did a review on it :music-rockout:

Cameron - it is good to see you on HRW! I'm very happy to read that you are interested in slot cars (although you may not have a choice in your family ;)
The Firebird looks fantastic, and I really like your new track.
Happy Slotting!

Welcome Cameron, you have just enlarged your group of friends and family quite a bit.
Those pictures are really good, much better than mine come out.
The Firebird, well thats a real muscle car for the track, looks great.
Keep us posted as we are always interested in what our new members introduce.
All the best
