HO Slot Car Racing at Scott's Aurora Raceway

[@chocolatepowershovel]

I have to get one again. I remember my first one in the 70s. Vintage Good Times! Thank for posting!

[@andrewluchsinger]

That is a very sweet set up. I have a four lane track at my home on a 4 X 10 table that I made. I am currently working on the scenery. I have close to 150 cars at the moment. I am currently working on the scenery for the track. Thanks for posting.

[@usaisacountryofmajorpsyops3785]

me and my friend are after 15 years we are going race again thunder jets hell ya we have over 50 cars of all brands to race so cool

[@dagconst1]

Brings back memories :-)

[@maglalosus]

Nice layout... it's also good to see the cars doing a 'slower' speed than some other videos, seems more realistic.

[@Dzo826]

OOH how I miss those days....

[@Evoskylution17]

this is fun! slow speed you can see the car 👍🏻

[@RypienGT]

Really starting to think about a layout of my own. This has given me some ideas, great set up and racing guys.

[@scottsafx]

I had several tomy AFX tracks and had made up my mind to build a vintage AFX track. Keeping it simple for easier group racing was my goal

[@scottsafx]

4' x 8' table, easy to reach cars. Very challenging road course!

[@ScuderiaTurini]

At a good height also.

[@JLopuk]

Oh I apologize I did see it on your site.Very good site btw! Hope to see some more racing on that track !

[@scottsafx]

I built the race track with only vintage Aurora AFX track that I had on hand.

[@michaelmunno]

Nice layout! Would you share how you did the areas around that track that are flush with the track? that came out great!

[@herbertwatson1515]

yeah sears did have some nice ho slot cars love the one with the firebird

[@Traingender]

these are the fun slot cars the ones that look like cars not the slot cars that dont look like cars and dont have any fun useing these r awsome i rember when my dad first brought me into slot cars

[@Flavum]

I see an AutoWorld logo in the background. I have all their early '70s catalogs. :)

[@auroraafxsweden5300]

👍👍🏁🏁 Great track!

[@CR3DT]

Hi there, this is a great video. Compared to other HO videos, these cars are running much slower (I like it), how come? slower motors or less voltage, please?

[@tarkus21]

I'm intrigued...Sweet digital laser lap counter and timing program??? Ive GOT to know! I'm old school!

[@tjetfivehundred609]

that's a nice smooth track

[@scottsafx]

Yes Missy, You can buy AFX cars for under $40.00 or you can buy colletor cars for $40 + dollars

[@charlesadkins7067]

great video

[@62shalaka]

Six left hand turns and two right hand turns. Hmmm....

[@williamcrazylacyfurmage9953]

Do you notice when a tyco etc power pack is used on a 2 lane, that the power is used/shared on both controllers? zapping the power back and forth. I made a few tracks where I broke the connection and gave each lane its own power pack using 2 power connection tracks, I per lane, am I making since? :P

[@robertmarion4457]

Very nice

[@JLopuk]

Great setup! What size is the table its on?

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Niiice Track! I have many custom H.O. cars built from BSRT parts and Aurora. I'm looking for a track to race them on. I live in the Redondo Beach Ca area. Do you know of any tracks in this area?

[@hodaka1000]

Is the board 4'×8' ? Have you seen the Daytona track plan in the book "The Slot Car Bible" ?

[@georgefazzari6303]

ever hear of banked curves?

[@BigRalphSmith]

I have heard of those. Why do you ask?

[@rufusrowson9682]

In the HO scale the fastest class would be called Unlimited.

[@justinsomerset5587]

Awesome!

[@50rbrt]

nice track,check out bobs playhouse,one a tomy track the other 30 yr old afx

[@213HBK]

Question peoples. I have vintage Aurora AFX track from 71-76 and know of the adapter to make it compatible with Tomy Afx. But I have been on ebay lately and seen pre 70's stuff that does not appear to have any plastic nibs like my pre Tomy track and it has holes instead at the centre of the track at each end. Can I use this with mine by placing track clips on the under side, (the contacts appear the same although they face outwards from each lane and mine inwards) or do I need an adapter?

[@rufusrowson9682]

Wizzard H.O.com Slottech.com BSRT.com I said class because everyones definition of fast varies alot. Unlimited are fast going around the track.

[@Retro719]

What program did you use ( on,looks like a laptop) for a lap counter? Thanx.

[@markhammond3800]

the software used on the laptop is called lap timer 2000.

[@speakerboy5146]

I would love to see a how-to video of how you set up your digital lap counter! Or if someone knows of a how-to video of a good lap counter, please direct me to that youtube link. Thanks!

[@mrvalencich]

would that lay out fit on a 4X8 foot table?

[@daveshoraceway]

First track I have seen set up so high, most track tables are waist high.

[@rufusrowson9682]

AFX cars are fast.

[@arthurcabral9561]

The problem is it has to be kept a secret because young people today are not like the seventies variety,. they have no appreciation, and will steal and destroy. DO NOT SHOW KIDS ANYTHING OF VALUE THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED ON SHORT NOTICE.

[@artsmart07]

OMG!!!!! after 60 years you'd think someone would know how to drive a slot car on a little track huh? LOL

[@chrismully1458]

Lame.

[@MissCedarbridge1]

yes that's true but they need to watch out for the wizard cars they are very strong racing cars

[@MissCedarbridge1]

where can I buy one of these Unlimited HO cars from

[@MissCedarbridge1]

wizard cars are made for going fast around a lot hard turns but I wouldn't race it hardcore in a str8 up drag race for speed wizard cars isn't fast enuff for that kind of racing

[@MissCedarbridge1]

thanks I hard them cars are fast them AFX cars is this true or not

[@MissCedarbridge1]

the world fastest ho slot cars are the AFX cars so far

[@MissCedarbridge1]

so you say unlimited HO slot car is the worlds fastest I like to test this theory with my knight rider 2000 AFX which is known to? out run any HO car that out there today

[@MissCedarbridge1]

wizard cars are very strong racing cars but they are not the world most fastest HO cars my AFX mega g and super g plus both won over my wizard car

[@MissCedarbridge1]

you can buy AFX cars for under $40.00
