Look What I Did - "New York Race Track Room"

This episode of the HGTV show "Look What I Did" features my car room - "Joe's Garage" - and the slot car track I put in that lowers from the ceiling. It originally aired on June 29, 2007. Hosted by Kaleo Griffith.

We have an unfinished basement and you gave us some great ideas, thanks go to you and your family. We collect hotwheels (we lost count after about 6,000), johnny lightnings (about 4,000), a good chunk of Danbury, Franklin and GMP's. I thank you again for your support and input to a hobby that most people think is for just kids.

Hi, Ben - '

Jeez - with all the holiday goings-on I didn't know if I'd responded to you. Thanks for the kind words. We've been having a lot of fun with it, and now the show is really starting to get some attention, so we're really plugging away.

Thanks for watching our "other" show -

Hope you're having a great holiday -

All the Best,

Joe

Hey Joe,

It was fun working with you on this, one of my favorite segments I directed.

Hey, Chris,

Wow - great to hear from you. We really enjoyed working with you and the crew...and the end result was incredible. The editing was AMAZING.

A lot of very cool things came out of this - I'll keep you posted (man, you must have made me look good).

Thanks again,

Joe

OK... that's the coolest thing EVER!!! Besides Joe being talented with building and awesome track room,(a little trivia) Joe Kelly is also one of the best singers in Rock and Roll. Totally incredible job!

Thank you, man. This is where I go to scream at the top of my lungs! Thanks again.

Joe: "Okay, dear, I'll be honest - I've been seeing another woman."

Casey: "LIAR! You've been playing with those slot cars again, haven't you?"

WOW that is beautiful!

Nice set-up for sure. I definitely wouldn't want to get in a bidding war with Joe over a slot car on ebay or something.

Joe what you did there was awesome. I am thinking of starting a new business, restraunt,hobbyshop,racetrack and you gave me some great decorating ideas. Especially the corrigated tin, that looks so cool. Have fun.
