So who has major track or model projects planned?

Any big changes to your current layout? New timing? Controllers? Etc...?

What about new or older models you have planned for tuning?

...I have a four lane Trackmate system thats been sitting in its shipping box for the last three years, I guess I should get it working and ditch my Scaley stuff...

Am really enjoying tuning some of my older cars that have been shelf queens.

I'm going to tune every one of the suckers, have decided that collecting isn't for me, am going to tune them (mostly stock), with the current tuning trends, then I'm going to put them in little ziplock plastic sandwich baggies and store them in drawers like Bill...

I'm currently putting together a Lemans/endurance sub-class to run in conjunction with our Group C cars. I'm not going to get anal about specific liveries that ran at Lemans, I just want a field of cars similar to prototypes that ran there.

So far I've tuned a pair of Carrera Porsche 935/78's, they are very quick!

I'm also doing a BMW M1, Carrera 512BB, plus I am going to re-visit my Mono March 83G project from some time back to see if it will still hang with the Slot.it. offerings.

I also have a LeMans Miniatures Rondeau that I want to re-chassis (I think they were a C2 class car).

I think that will keep me busy for a bit :)

I am re-modelling - new track in 16x4 space and new train track on 8x4 board

Track will be 2 lane and we will fit as much in as we can

looking at something along these lines

A couple of days ago, I took a Carrera D132 lane change section to the table saw. It's cut down to about 5"X8" with the rails removed and filled with Bondo. If the experiment goes well, I'll end up doing the the other four and placing them in a new D132 wood track.

If not, I've got a $50 piece of #@*% :cry:

Just finished the plans for our second track in the store! Very exciting and not enough time!

i just finally bought a router so who knows what the future may bring :auto-driving:

I stumbled across a big box of random border peices on eBay...thought I was done bordering my track, but I guess not.

Thinking about getting a smallish table scroll (jig) saw to help build brass chassis' with. Maybe finish some projects. :)

OCSRA is currently installing XLR connectors on our club tracks. We first experienced this connector at the Hotslots132 in house track.

Currently cleaning the copper tape on my track, it has been 4 years. Adding a little more detail to the track and landscape.

Seriously considering an addition to the house so I can move my routed track from shop to inside, I lose too much wintertime slotracin. :(

My digital track is going to be completely rebuilt. I have three days off next weekend, and a large chunk of the work is going to get done then. Adding anti-collision chips, mainly for the ghost cars. Rebuilding/reinforcing/repairing the tables, and this new track should fit on the footprint of the old track.

I to am going to rebuild my Carrera track. I have added an overpass and multi-radiused curves. The length will go from 45 feet to about 54 feet. I am also planning to add scenery.

I am happy with the design of my track, but it needs elevation changes to be at its best. I've been thinking about it forever, but when the really cold weather sets in this year, I may actually do it.

Aloha (wont be saying that much more)
USPS has my Ninco Porshe 911 Blue Coral car and should be here in the office today, I will start the tuning on it and then run the crap out of it and others for the final week before packing them up for their trip to New Jersey. We are moving the next week to Forked River NJ. So I have to get all my play time in this week, its gonna be a long time before I get to running on a track, I sold my little Big Island raceway to a friend, he is letting me keep it till I pack up the cars, Oh my slot car withdrawls!!!
