Well, I took the bait. I made an offer on Ebay for a Digital race set that was opened but not used. I actually won the offer to my surprise, as it was far under what the "buy it now" price was. Sooooo, It looks like I will be attempting to follow Nor cal Mikes footsteps in this vintage /digital journey. No, I don't know where I am going to put this track? I have all current spaces filled, and no way will I be taking any of them down. so some very creative space usage is in my future! It may turn out to be that I convert the current road course to an Analog and digital set up, don't know yet. I have a lot to learn about digital,so it may be a temp track to learn all the whistles and bells.
After talking to mike, and looking on the web at all the cool conversion tracks, the temptation to have multiple vintage cars running at the same time, with fuel stops and actual pit stops and such, was just to great. We have been using just a fuel stop program on the road course, and it alone has added so much fun to the racing, that I cant imagine what the digital thing will be like!.
To ease the costs of this venture, I went with Scalextric due to the either/or functions of their system ( analog/digital) and also the chip size, and the remote sensor for running non mag.
Kinda looking forward to this, even with my very limited tech skills, it looks do-able. I will keep you all posted on my venture.
