A son of one of the guy's from my 1/43rd forum built this while he was at work yesterday. Its a real smoker. I think its very clever.

This may start a little craze for us over there.

I've heard of a soap-box racer...but never a cigarette-box racer.

You know soapbox would be cool too.

Only bad thing is, a wreck would be catastrophic. Would be like a model-scale NASCAR race, pieces of body frame on the track, crumpled bodies from the impact...

Wow, talk about inexpensive. Pretty cool idea too.

".....AND COMING INTO THE NUMBER THREE TURN IS CAR #123933, JOE CAMEL!" :tongue:

You know, If he had left the celophane on, it might have offered less wind resistance! :thumbsup:

The guy who posted this said that Jr did it while he was at work. I assumed Jr was a kid, turns out hes 35 years old.

I am glad that my employees don't goof around at work. Now building custom slot cars on the side, that is something different. It would be hard to discipline the crew for that!

Jr did it at home while Sr was at work.
