I wonder if they'll be selling 1/25th scale track to go with them ?

I am sure there are plenty of local places around to race slot cars, there are at least 10 in ohio, so one local for everyone most likely.

It all depends on how well this first round of releases does.


Oh I understand but they could have done a Swatch Watch kind of release. Buy the Full Slot Kit and here's X# of optional Bodies you can put on it with the advantage of hitting 2 markets. As it is they are releasing Slot Cars period, but by repopping the Slot/Curbside Kits they also garner sales to the Static Kit builders.

We have a Commercial Track here in Jacksonville with a thriveing Racing schedual. They run Both 1:24th and 1:32nd races. The group that races at the track doesn't like 1:24 Hardbody so all 1:24th racing is with Lexan Bodied Cars, We do run Hardbodies in 1:32.
The Classes ran are:
In 1:24
Wed night JK GTIs Must run a JK body and Hawk Motor, Flexi Chassis mostl Jk Cheetahs
Sat Night
NASCAR Flexi Chassis with either a Falcon, sealed 16D, Or FLA State Series 16D
GTP Flexi Chassis, Super 16D
Group F Grp 12 marked Chassis and Hawk motor Wing Car with Air Controls
JK Modifieds as they come from the Factory Falcos are Geared 12-35, Hawks 12-36

I also run orginized 1:32 Races on My Home Track 2 Sundays a month. The AMT cars look interesting!

CHEERS!
