Is this on Mason Road?

[johnford]

Yes. They have just moved, but just down the road from where they were.

I still have my Defalco controller with an Omni stick on it and a brake controller with bypass. Wish I could sell it!

[johnford]

List it on Ebay.... It's still good for most drag racing. Worth about 50 bucks.... jf

9 sec? Could you spare it?

[johnford]

It is a bit short but the camera I shot it on was an older Cannon digital that only shot movies in 10 sec. bursts. Sort of the Model T of still and movie combo cameras.... jf

What's obviously didn't change is that cars still jump out of their slots

@c0uchsl0uch - There is a trigger for speed and braking. Steering is provided by the slot in the track (hence the name "slot cars"). Think Scalextric on steroids.
