It was a great event and I will not get into the details of that event here. However I stumbled across a Slot car track set up by Acura and decided to give it a spin!
During the 4 1 minute heats I was Driver # 3, you rotated through the lanes so you got to drive each car.
This was all Carrera track, the cars were custom built by the gentleman running the track.
They are 1/24 Scale Auto Chassis with Tamiya 1/24 Acura NSX model kit bodies. They were running magnets but it was easy to have an off if you didn't pay attention.
He had custom decals but I forgot to ask if he made them or found them.
I ended up winning my group and got a neat portable power charger for a cell phone for my efforts. :)
My wife laughed at me (she raced too) because I was excited to run the cars and that she felt I was a "ringer" because I run Carrera setup at home.
It certainly helped that I did, but really was excited that Acura used slot cars to activate with the crowd.
Good job to Acura for trying this out as a way to generate interest in their products and to promote slot cars. It was neat to see there were several kids who got in line to have a little fun tot.
Now before you ask, my group was all adults, I didn't want to be shown up by a youngster. :P
