My friends, Nick & Joe, came out again Saturday. My son, Dalton, got involved too. He's seven.
I showed Joe some runner bodies I had. Showed him more of my cars that I don't have on display. We polished up some wheels & the track manager served lunch. Not bad for a day's work.
The pic of the 3 of us, from left to right is Joe, me (Lendell), & Nick.
The other picture includes my son, Dalton.

Hey Cowboy,

That looks like some fun times! Digging it big time as that is a dream slot car cave if I ever saw one!

Dalton is one lucky 7 year old to have a Dad with your slot car drive to make the most fun possible out of his hobby. My Dads passion for 1/24th scale car models has definatly been a driving force for me all my life. Don't forget to let him read all of your car magazines. My Dad let me have all his car magazines from the 70s!!!!!! I love my Dad and all that he drove into my head about cars....generation to generation. :) :)

Our son is 5 and he has been into slot cars for a couple of years now. He plugs in the power and drives on down the road. I have also started him painting and decaling up cars. I help alot but he can dip the brush in without getting paint past the bristles.

Bob...Hooters does have carry out (next time get some wings)...zilla

HOGITS second meet. No laps were counted, nobody was DQed, And nobody lost. However, everybody was a winner as we all had a good time. Hope to make this a weekly thing. Watch us grow.

Lendell,
You have one great TM to have a setup like that! :eek:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

I'm 52 but pretty low maintenance. Want to adopt me?

Have you thought about moving SouthEast??? If not, give it some thought please!!! RM

Awesome Lendell!! Maybe some weekend we can get together, I would love to see this in person.

What a great set up Lendell! Looks like a good time was had by all. :roll:FORD's on a roll!! :roll:

Gotta agree, great lookin' slot cave. How far off the beaten path (US 36) are you? We travel through there 4-5 times a year on our way to SW Iowa and SE Nebraska to visit family.

The TM is the one who convinced me to go as big as I did w/ the slot cave. I wish I could load it up on a trailer & travel w/ it, but anyone is welcome here. As far as 36 goes - we're 8 miles south of Hannibal. Hwy. 36 & Hwy. 61 intersect there. Hwy. 61 south brings you to me. You can see Hwy. 61 from our front porch. Come one, come all.

Awesome setup Lendell. Multiple tracks set up and still a lot of room to move around. It looked like a great day.
