hi all thanks for the forum my Qs is this, i took down my track lay out and sold it. this track layout was based on robert the editor of mcr magizine. He test his cars on every other month and gives lap times. the book and issue mag. he use to have the layout in is no longer in print and his website has no contact or phone# to ask him. so i am here wondering if anyone has his layout of the SCALEXTRIC 36 FOOT F1 TRACK TEST LAYOUT plan. has to be the scalextric layout. i need the part# of the pieces of scalextric track to build it. any info would be greatly appreciated. thankyou :(

Thanks for the reply but this doesn't tell me which f1 mcr mag. Is testing on. I was looking at this on his site but it doesn't have a way to access the plans and doesn't tell me the pieces I need or a layout pattern, Also now that I think about it his plan was in one of his earlier books not in the issues. I don't know if anyone here reads his mags. But each issue he tests a different car and gives his best lap time on this track and then he mods the car and runs again. I always use to try to beat his time. Anyway, does anyone else have any thoughts??

well, kev, i've emailed him in the past and he's replied. think i found his email either in the subscribe part of the website (not any more i guess) or i replied to a sub' confirmation, if you have any of those saved. if not, i can dig around in my email stuff and try to find it. or you could shoot in the dark and try customerservice@modelcarracingmag.com or something similar.
i too think it's pretty poor when you have a business and don't provide contact info other than snail-mail.

That would be great if you can dig that sub comformation up I would appreciate it! :D

Sorry Speedy, I know him of course but never had much input with the magazine and no way of getting those plans other than email.

No deal Rusty...you are just trying to help the guy out, much appreciated.
