Ok. guys here it is. john out at AandHhobbies in clemmons nc is thinking about putting up a 1/32nd scale slot track for local races what do you guys think about this and how many of you local guys would be coming out to race with us . we want to know if you think this will be a good thing there are no othere 1/32nd scale tracks in a hobby shop that you can race and practice on .John has sold alot of tracks and cars this past year and we have gotten alot of phone calls wanting to know if there were any local tracks to run at and the answer is no i think if we did this we would have a a good thing considering we would be the only public track in the area possible the state sure there are alot of basement track clubs around but you cant just walk up into someones house and run your car like you would be able to at the hobby shop well if you guys are interested lets us know . with a replie. or an email at www.AandHhobbies.com thanks ps the track will most likely be scalextric ,. 4 lane at first .with var. power supply and custom control stands for any 3 wire control.

sounds great we already have all the product to build the track in store this will be in a hobby shop so i dout king rc will let us put up flyers since we are a hobby shop as well just wouldnt seem right .p.s. we have alot of scalextric cars in stock cheap most are new release cars come out and take a look they are priced anywhere from 29.99 to 38.99 .

come on guys we need to hear some feedback on this before we decide to do anything we want to make sure there are plenty of people interested .

well guys it doesnt look to good i have only gotten one response to this so far i will cont. to watch it for another 2 weeks or so and if nothing comes out of it . we will not be building the track it dosent look like enough people are gonna be interested enough in this area but ill hold out another couple weeks to c for sure or not

I know that I'm not from the NC area, but, I could not help noticing that the track you are wanting to setup is in a hobby store. While Hobby Talk is an awesome place and has tons of people that frequent it, the majority of the slot car guys here appear to be HO scale racers. Nothing wrong with that, but it just means that your audience is limited here.

How much asking, advertising, talking, etc, did you do at the hobby shop for this? Not to push you away from Hobby Talk, but have you tried a few other slot car forums on the web? I definitely would not limit your search for people who are interested to just here.

I think its an awesome effort and one that may have more traction than you know right now - you just gotta get it to the right audience.

Hope that helps ya out and lifts your spirits up a bit.

Good luck with the track!

Build it and they will come. I race r/c cars--Ho--1/24 and 1/32. We have the most fun with 1/32. We can actually see them!! We meet meet twice a month. One track is at a guys house and the other one we lower a track from the ceiling in a machine shop. We order pizza and just have a blast. We race Classic NASCAR--Dallara Indys--Trans AM--And a open class where anything goes (these are as fast as a HO car) The Slot it cars make the best open class. Just my two cents.
