    • Trivia Question What was the basic configuration of the 8 lane slot car track in Jack Rabbit Slim's Restaurant? The prize is a pack of urethane washers for the first correct answer. Tie Breaker: What lane was white? If you identify the lane correctly with your winning answer then you get 2 packs of washers.... Good Luck!

    • Looking for a New House? Gentlemen: I was looking at the Blog To website and noticed a story on a house for sale in the Bayview and York Mills area of Toronto.  It's only going for $10,888,000.   What's interesting about it is that there is a 4 lane plastic slot car track in one of the pictures.   Here is the link:

    • Slot Mods Track On Bring A Trailer. This will be fun to watch for the next week. Doesn't appear to be any nicer than the ones we already race on, maybe not as nice IMHO. B-) https://bringatrailer.com/listing/slot-car-race-track/

    • 360 degree POV Camera vehicle A 360 degree camera mounted on a modified Range Rover at MiniGrid. Click on the screen and move your mouse around to change the camera angle! https://youtu.be/QreTCVWgSnY It was my pleasure to be able to drive this rig and I have to say the results are great. 360 a whole new way to think about camera's on slot cars, among other things. And the final version of the vehicle looks great too. Something right out of what a real Hollywood crane truck looks like! We did experiment with different speeds with the camera vehicle and found that running it at about 75% or so gave the best picture. Not too slow to put you to sleep, and not too fast to make you nauseous. Lap times were about equivalent to Cartrix cars with BWA motors.
