That is just awesome. I love the track and his old Monogram Ferrari. I'm so glad you got time to play with him.

Great post, Jeff! Looks like you and your dad are still having fun at the track.
Nice improvements to the track. I think it's been along time since Ironwood had that kind of attention paid to it.
I have some more Azek if you're interested..............

Thanks for looking guys! It is nice to have my dad over to race with. He always said " my cars weren't the fastest, but they were the best looking" ! :)

I'm so jealous, I wish I could have spent some good time like that with my Dad but 2500 miles presented a problem. I still remember my Dad showing me how to melt a plastic rod together with an old worn out soldering gun. Really nice track you have there.

Racing with your Dad, That is so cool! One of my favorite memories of my Dad was the Christmas when I got my first slot car set. It was a tyco set with working headlights. My Dad was home for Christmas vacation and one evening when I was running laps with my new toy, Dad came into the living room and grabbed the other controller and start racing me! That was the coolest few hours of Christmas!! I lost my Father many, many years ago. But, I still remember that Christmas like it was yesterday.
