I discovered HRW sometime around 2005 when I was searching for something creative to liven up my free time. I didn't know if slot cars were still an active hobby or not, having been away from it for about 20 years after the club I raced with in NY came to an end. Before long I became a member so I could PM people selling cars and over time I got drawn in so that now slot cars consume most of my thoughts and disposable income. After years of devotion to oval racing someone here encouraged me to build a road course, and after buying a few Pioneer Trans Am cars I went for it and for the past 5 years Shelby-Hendrix Speedway and collecting Trans Am, Le Mans, and most recently Can Am cars has been my favorite activity.
HRW has been my link to so many others who are also passionate about this hobby. I remodeled my barn to have room for 2 tracks, and have since built and bought nearly 200 cars to replicate both dirt oval and road course races. Thanks to everyone at HRW, especially Harry, for this great place to share thoughts, tips, and plans.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
