ANYTHING going on in New Jersey? Races? Clubs? Anyone just wanting to get together to have some fun? Shows?

Try NJ Nostalgia Hobbies. Not sure how far it is from you, but they're one of the one-stop slot shops you have to check out.

Telling us where you are in Jersey is a good start.

Hunterdon County. Went to Nostalgia. Wasnt impressed. The place is filthy, over crowded, unorganized, and they have a track, (1/24th scale?) jammed in the middle of the store. Theres only about 2 feet of walking room around the track. Thye do have a lot of older HO stuff though. Anyone looking for new T-JETS, thats the place to go.

Is that not in the Flemington area? There's DCM over in Hamilton Square NJ www.dcmraceway.com You might want to give them a look.

Bummer about what your experience at NJ Nostalgia, Jerz. Are you close to the PA border? Being in Pittsburgh (the opposite end of the state), I don't have intimate knowledge of the area, though I was in Philly a few years ago (couldn't find any slot activity). But maybe the SE PA guys can hook you up when they have their next event. BTW, is Bud's HO or Slotcar Central within decent driving distance from you? Both have HO tracks.

Im about dead smack in the middle between New York and Philly. Too far to drive for slot cars. Im building a little neighborhood group now so Ill have some good times. 7 to 8 people and will offer a fun night of racing.

Ah, a fellow slotter from Hunterdon County... I don't live there anymore, but I was born in Flemington and raised in Annandale.
