[@robcates2383]

Cool setup you have, track is amazing, room is amazing, your home is probably amazing, looks like a view to die for!! You are so lucky, good for you!! Cars are incredible, you need to get the AFX DODGE VAN, !!

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Rob, wish the track could handle a van but they won’t fit under the bridges that are already lifted.

[@husky8243]

[@echobeefpv8530]

Just starting the hobby now, bought the Super Cars set from AFX. I watched your whole video, and it was a real eye opener !! I used to have a set when I was a kid, now I'm an old kid. The cars have gotten way faster , and better, it seems !

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks for watching yes the cars are much improved now.

[@kennethkuykendall7364]

Great room you have. Looks like it is lots of fun. The first 2 Nomads you showed are 55's.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Ken

[@shiftintohigh5564]

Outstanding! What a set up. Had Thunderjets as a kid.

[@Emperorjones]

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Ken, it sure is a lot of fun

[@highlife0586]

WOW! What a collection of slot cars. That track...I'll bet that took a lot of work. I got an Aurora Model Motoring "Stirling Moss" race set back in the early 1960's. I can't remember the cars that came with it, but I remember the cars had the Vibrator motors.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah my favorite 56 Chevy nomad love it

[@andrewrichey7374]

Wow beautiful collection, and yeah I love Kroger wheels

[@robertfish2945]

Thanks Matt

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

Hey Chris, Another great slot car video. Great mixture of different HO slot car’s that you have. Amazing track design. Thanks for sharing- JC

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks John

[@guymarotta2596]

I like Cragars, too!

[@uofmhockey]

Great slot car room Chris. You are getting a really nice collection. Thanks for posting.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Ted, that means a lot !

[@alejandromonge5193]

What a beautiful collection

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks so much Alejandro

[@alejandromonge5193]

Blue Ridge is that track hard to put together I’m thinking of finding one

[@Blueridgeracing859]

@@alejandromonge5193 not really, I would first put it together on a smooth surface so you can move the track pieces around to get them all to fit. After it sits in place for a short while the it can come apart and go back together very easy.

[@lifeinlimbo2186]

I took the magnets out of my cars which were slower and a bit more realistic old 70's AFX engines and chassis as well as early 80's models. It forced you to drive more carefully and it definitely drove more realistic with rear kicking out during take off or acceleration after a curve. I compensated drive action with tiny weights and silicone tires for racing or harder rubber tires for more realistic looking take offs and curves. Later,i made handmade painted bodies from bits of heavy tinfoil and thin balsa wood glued together lightly for body damage and debris incase of severe crashes. (Tiny screw driver or small tool to push dents back out) I added head and rear lights and a 75 foot straightway so I could also drag race. Ahhh...such a fun hobby and relaxing way to pass time. You have a great layout,track and beautiful car collection! Absolutely love the woodwork in your home!

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks so much.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Wow that’s awesome dude, I love it heck yeah I’ll be watching more

[@TRXperienced]

Hi Chris! It’s great to hear your enthusiasm and passion for this hobby!! Thank for sharing. Happy Racing and God Bless!!!

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Marc, I am blessed for sure ! Just trying to share all the joy I’m getting from this hobby.

[@BabyVapor]

New subscribers. Nice set up.

[@nobodyshome758]

Nice video, beautiful collection. An FYI, you may already be aware. Those AFX racemasters have delicate plastics tabs that hold the bodies on. My GT40 crashed and it broke the clip. Now I have fixed it, but these things are so fast, you wreck and those clips can easily break. Love the speed of them though! Love your channel!

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks dude, haven’t broken one yet but will keep that in mind.

[@almcg4425]

Great video, track & car's looks real nice. Keep up the great videos 👍

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Al

[@All-ScaleSlotCars]

Awesome collection and track, and I love your Slot Car room! Nice and spacious, I wish I had the room to stretch out a bit like that, but I'm thankful for what I do have. Enjoy!! Dennis

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Dennis

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah super cool appreciate seeing them run

[@markceciljr1354]

I bought my dad some Richard Petty slot cars, one of which was the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. We would set up the track and play around for hours

[@andrewrichey7374]

Wow that’s awesome, just found your channel I did subscribe, I’ll be following for more. My brother was into the slot cars back in the 60s and 70s, I’m into the remote control RC cars 1/10 scale and now the 1/24 scale Great Hobby. Appreciate you sharing I will be following

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah buddy tons of fun for sure

[@BobBob-wb4mi]

Nice

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Bob

[@rickkentner1713]

Spoilt brat is right. I married one too. Awesome track in an awesome room. I bought a track with the same yellow Lamborghini. I still, 35 years later, still have the car and track. Actually, I have about 250’ of track with the HO scale RR crossing to match. That piece of track was hard to find. Mm

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Rick

[@bigbow62]

Love that track layout & all of those sweet classic street & race cars ! Keep updating the infield and everything on & off track it will really make racecourse come alive 🙂 You should work a pitlane into the off-track layout, thank you for the video👍

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks for the positive feedback

[@bigshanern4l186]

Really cool layout. Looks like a fun lap for sure! On your doing the work on the track point (yes I watched that far and not just 15 minutes 😂), there’s really a lot you can do with the actual track to smooth it out, improve conductivity, and get rid of the “clicks”, which in turn will make the cars run better and more consistent with less wear on the pick up shoes especially. Very cool though…congrats!

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks, would love to get rid of the “clicks” and smooth out the track ?

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Great collection and track layout. I wish I had room to get back into slot cars.

[@johnholmes6897]

I'm looking for an Orange Meyers Manx dune buggy with white top and craiger rims. I used to know a guy who used to customize the HO blanks. He would never falter. If you gave him a 72 vette stingray picture, the ho version would be identical. A perfect replica of the picture he was given.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Wow that is cool…wish he was around now !

[@johnholmes6897]

@Blueridgeracing859 guys like that are becoming more rare every day.

[@KarynJacobson]

I find your layout is supercool if you live anywhere near LaCrosse I would to get together with you and race sometime.😅😅😅

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks. Lacrosse GA ?

[@warrenweber2403]

Amazing collection!!!

[@richardlocher3789]

nice video Chris i always like to see fellow slot heads

[@curtisjensen6886]

I sure love your cars and layout I'm getting a good collection starting I hope it turns out like your collection

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks. Curtis, I’m sure it will be great !

[@lorettacaputo6997]

I am amazed on how fast those cars move without flying off the track. Faster than the Model Motoring Aurora set up that I had as a kid.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Oh yes much faster. The traction magnets help with that. The old ones still go on it but much slower.

[@piloto5248]

Nice not my hobby but you have nice collection JOB WELL DONE..

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Juan

[@marksslotcargarage]

Love your house in the mountains and woods and love your room, definitely beats my garage! I am not an Autoworld fan at all, the few cars I have from them just run horrible, I stick with mostly all versions of AFX myself.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks mark, you have done very well with your little spot in the garage !

[@scottshouseofh.o.racing]

Great looking layout! 😁👍🏁

[@davematthews2317]

Great collection Chris. Thanks for the video.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Dave

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Man your wife JAG freakin FLIES, WOW. AWESOME. I just found your channel, a little advice, try and PAN much slower when filming, if not people will get dizzy. Love this track and your beautiful collection. Makes me want to start an AFX TRACK. Thank you for such a cool VIDEO.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks dude

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks for the advise I’ll do that.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yes it does just flies around the track, wow that’s amazing

[@blueovalracing1582]

Terrific video Chris you definitely have become a collector I agree with what you said about Auto World their quality control is absolutely terrible it's pretty bad I've had a few issue with their products but they make it right I've had a few different occasions where a brand new Auto World chassis would literally burn up after a few laps you could smell the thing literally cooking as it was going around the track now as always prior to running Auto World cars the chassis I take apart and clean thoroughly and give them a light oiling where needed and off we go anyway on a few different occasions I called direct to Auto World store in Indiana and let them know of the problem and they would send out a new chassis I would usually receive it in around 2 to 3 weeks so the good news is at least my experience Auto World back their products

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Absolutely correct, good to hear AW fixed the issues. I have sent the owner of Pro Tinker Toys a few picks and videos that he has shared with them.

[@harryw9598]

great collection chris. but i dont think the first ones are can am. looks more like group c cars porsche 956 or 962's

[@annmerritt6476]

Love that Jaguar!!!

[@ST-cy6we]

Great track

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks

[@karlkedink8159]

Man cave good

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks dude

[@josephvisynak5678]

Hello Chris, my apologies I f got the name wrong. I have a collection of cars myself, you have more than I do. Getting to the point of messaging you is that I found mega g plus chassis will fit under a Tyco Lamborghini body very nicely and tight. Thought I would share this with you. Check it out, let me know what you think. My name is Joe I live in Detroit, Mi. Enjoy your videos, nice set up with your track.

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Joe. You got it right. I grew up in Detroit, Dearborn actually. I’ll check that out. Thanks for watching

[@syxxwilliams]

can i see a over view of ur track plz

[@dennisosborn5589]

Cool Video!

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Thanks Dennis

[@dstrelioff]

Which controller are you running? Is it a Difalco?

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Yes the DiFalco 2 wire for ho

[@kalel17100]

Oh I hate to break it to you my friend were all collectors weather we know it or not ; )

[@Blueridgeracing859]

So true

[@2ahdcat]

Very cool, but these are 1/64 (S-Gauge/scale) cars. Most of my builds are 1/64/non-slot cars though. Come see 😸

[@chiplarkin4069]

Drvin around in an Rv??? If so what do you have?

[@Blueridgeracing859]

Don’t have a RV. That’s Bryan the owner or Pro Tinker Toys who has the RV
