Recruited another floor racing HO slotter!

[ChallengerGuy]

Finally got my buddy to take the plunge. We had a great time racing on the floor (oh my knees!!). He now has the 69 Shootout set along with a ton of additional track and some converters to go to the AFX click track to make use of some 9-inch curves for fun twisting racing. We even hooked up an Electronic Control Center to run a few races. Lap times with 5.2 seconds on the larger 2-room layout. We had the most fun racing the classic AW X-Traction cars that we bought from the local hobby store. Of course, quality control in China means you need to strip down 50% of the cars you buy to discover an brush sitting sideways in the cup, thereby explaining the poor sounds/friction/slow speed. But I took care of all of that and we were racing and bashing fenders. Fun times. I highly recommend getting down on the floor and running as much track as you have into other rooms. It's a blast.

Yep,

As Tom said, getting down on the floor is hard nowadays....

Great looking track but you need your friend to get that track up onto a table or hollow core door to save your knees.

I love that white with blue stripes Stang!!!!

Looks like you guys had a great time!

Get him hooked on some t-jets also....

Enjoy!!!! :D :D :D
