     Slot Car Racing is Back!!

Our friend KC who has been running slot car racing around the south valley for many years has joined the Cactus Hobbies slot car racing team! KC has formed some very easy to learn and use race series with kids as our primary focus with gearing-limited, flexi chassis cars that are so simple, even a monkey can drive!

The kids class will be followed by the faster, more aggressive adult class, again with unmodified, stamped steel, flexi chassis with stock can Falcon or Hawk motors, but with more aggressive gearing and set-up options for good, close racing. Both classes run the same chassis and motor rules.

Anthony, drag race winner two weeks in a row, has decided to retire "on top" until the other slow-pokes learn how to spell "fast". Not really, his work schedule changed, he'll be back in a little while. Good job Anthony!

Dust off you old 1/24th scale cars and give our wooden 8 lane track a go. Or, jump over to the 1/32 scale track for all of you Scalextric fans & racers.  Good friends, good times & fun racing.
