GAGS,if you find anything in Long Island,post it in here,cause i'm in Queens and would be interested

Hi Mopar, Live in Manhattan here, would also like to find some racing in the city. I love Mopars too!

I'm on Eastern Long Island and would be interested in tjet or afx/xtraction racing.:thumbsup:

I'm in Western Nassau Co. of L.I. & there must be quite a few Ho racers in between. Our
club has not yet started for this season. We meet every Wed. evening, generally from
late Oct. to April. :) :wave:

Dyno Dom,can you post some info about your club and when and where they race

I am in Western Nassau too. I called Slots A Lot in Franklin Sq. They have an ho track but I guess no races, I have never been there. Where is your club located?

Gags & Mopar 78,
We are a few weeks away from starting up. Many of the guys are busy buttoning up
their summer toys for the season. I sold my 6 lane Tomy layout, but we have 2 current
tracks. Both are road courses, an AFX 4 x 20- 4 lane & 6 lane Tomy T- shaped table
about 22 ft long. The 6 lane track replaced a previous 8 laner. We get together on Wed.
nights. Nothing formal, most guys just toss a bag of nosh on the table. We try to keep it simple, running G & Storm cars. All is legal as long as stock arms & magnets are used. It
seems to work, I started w/them in 1985 running Tyco X-2's. :)

For all Ho racers/collectors in the L. I. area, Bob's Ho Fall show will be at the Huntington
Hilton on Sunday--10/19/08. Exit 49 So. on LIE or Southern State to exit 32 No. Melville

:) :D

Let's see, we have: Mopar Ho in NYC, Mopar 78 in Queens, Gags & I in Nassau, and Gear
Head in Suffolk! :) "The Island" was home to the Aurora factory & Raceway. :thumbsup:
At 110 miles long, aren't more Ho racers available to participate w/ their club activities?
:rolleyes: :D

i'll be going to Bobs show,so maybe i'll meet you guys there

I'll be there with one of my kids in tow. Hope to see some of you there.

Gear Head & Mopar 78,
I will be at the show, hopefully we can meet. Gags, will you be able to attend? :)

I can not attend, we are expecting a new edition that will be here no later that Thursday. I don't expect that I will make it, unles everyone is all home by then. I caught the tail end of the last show and was hoping to catch this one.

Gags, Congratulations & Best Wishes for your family!!! :thumbsup:
Bob's next L.I. show will be on 2/01/09--(Super Bowl Sunday) Possibly we will meet this
Sunday, next show or somewhere in between. Again, The Very Best! :)

Thanks, I will be absolutely be at that show in Feb.

Today I went to Bob's HO show in Melville. I was pleased to meet the the fine folks at
Slots-A-Lot Raceway who had a table at the show. ( Cathy, Mark & Frank Jr.) Gags
previously mentioned Slots-A-Lot in post #8 of this thread. I have been told there IS an
HO racing program on Wednesday eve. @ 8PM. They have a 6 lane Tomy road course.
Current racing is for inline cars; HOWEVER, T-Jet racing can be added as per interest!
The Raceway is located at: 1100 Hempstead Tpke. in Franklin Square. For more info:
phone #- (516) 616-7075 :)

What are in line cars?? I am still new to the hobby.

Dom,

Thanks for making the contact. I unfortunately wasn't able to go Sunday due to a scheduling snafu. Maybe I can get enough tjet guys together in the coming months to head "West" on Wednesday nights. I will absolutely be at the December Beers show!

Gear Head, the next show is Super Bowl sunday.The December show, i was told ,was cancelled.I f you guys decide to get together for some racing,please by all means keep me in mind.

Well there goes my Christmas! Dang

I always attend the Superbowl show and will keep you in mind.

Inline cars generally have horizontal arms w/pinion perpendicular to rear axle and crown
gear. (Tyco, Life-Like & Tomy) T-Jets have vertical armature shafts. (AKA-Flat arms or pancakes) Unfortunately,as of last year the July & Dec. shows were dropped. :eek:
The Super Bowl show will be 02/01/09 followed by April & Oct. shows. :woohoo:
A Parsippany, NJ show is scheduled on 11/23/08. :)
Mopar78, I am planning a new 6 lane layout & also will keep you in mind.

thanks guys
