World Wide HO Racing League - a Slot Car Racing League everyone can compete in.

I think it’s a terrific idea in the end. It’s fun it’s always possible. You’ll have that one scumbag try to cheat but then again in the end it’s fun a great idea for people from around the globe to have a little fun racing HO slot cars thanks for the video and your brilliant idea

[@murdervalleyraceway]

I'm hoping quite a few get involved. Who knows, maybe it might get big enough I need help scrutinising all the videos to make sure each driver complies. There is a similar set up to the one in the video already happening (Virtual Slot Racing Club on Facebook), and there's 2 tracks. 1 is a 4x8 (1200 x 2400mm) oval, the other is a quiet large (by comparison) 4 lane course. The only thing I'm really doing differently is a 2 lane circuit on the smaller sizing. I think it's going to have more appeal (I'm not into oval tracks myself).

I would be interested . I currently have a 4'x16' table with a 62ish 4 lane .I'm using Race Coordinator and Viasue timing and scoring . I would be interested in participating . I could easily put together a track on a 4x8 . I'm not crazy about using Facebook but I would. Count me in .

[@murdervalleyraceway]

Thanks for the positive feedback Kirk, we'd all love you to get involved. I'm open for suggestions on other platforms where people could put their races up for submission. I'm not real experienced with other platforms, but definitely open to anything that could work.

Sounds interesting. I've tried Laptrax but didn't have much success (even with good lighting) so I ended up over-paying for a second hand AFX lap timer. While not designed for it apparently the Carrera 71590 Electronic Lap Counter works with HO scale and isn't overly expensive (about $120 AUD on Amazon)... so I found out later😒 I'm in the process of building an approximately 19 metre per lane (according to Tracker 2000) track on an 8 x 4 sheet that I copied and slightly modified from someone on FB's track picture.

[@nunyabusiness6090]

Track looks interesting with a good variance in corners. It's something I could possibly build on the underside of my main track (I'm building it on a home made mobile rotisserie made from two engine stands so it can be stored on it's edge and is only 400mm wide in total) although it would mean another timer which I hadn't planned on.

[@murdervalleyraceway]

19 lineal metres on a 4x8, 2 lane I assume? My original 6 lane Murder Valley circuit was 14 lineal metres and a bit on 1480mm x 4100mm. There wasn't a lot of room left on that table.

[@nunyabusiness6090]

@@murdervalleyraceway Yes, only two lanes. I started off with the Giant Raceway set and have added a few second hand sets and a track pack since.

[@johnstezelecki8157]

The concept is not new. In 24 scale, the common track was the King track or Blue King. In Ho, the original Auto World developed the Clubman track design. Also in HO was the Scorpion design track.

[@murdervalleyraceway]

It's definitely not a new idea. However, doing it on home built tracks versus commercial tracks in shops isn't as common. I love for the layout to be bigger, but involvement is more important than the size of the layout, and I know a lot of people are not open to build larger than a sheet of ply.

[@denbudzitowski]

Interesting what voltage would we run with???

[@murdervalleyraceway]

Voltage is yet to be decided. I'm very close to having my track sorted, so then testing will begin. From eary tests on the unsecured track, a higher voltage compared to what we race with on our larger tracks seems to be more appropriate. Voltage will be set so the standard AFX controllers work. The competition needs to be based around cheap components, and encourage/promote tuning as an avenue for improved performance.

How do I know I’m buying a standard bulldog chassis I see a lot of SRT

[@murdervalleyraceway]

Confirm with the seller the exact model you're after. Some sellers have the incorrect photos with the descriptions, it makes it more difficult than it needs to be.
