Welcome
to the ultimate
slot car racing information resource!
If
you ever wondered what slot car racing is about,
you will find the answers here.
2008
The hobby of slot
car racing as we know it today, has been
one of the most enduring technological hobbies of modern
times. The exact year of when slot
cars were invented is debatable. As far as being able to buy and race
a car on a slot car track in a
retail venue, that year is probably 1963. So you can see, slot cars
have survived against other hobbies, political climates, video games,
radio control, simulators and even it's own inner turmoil. The
average slot
car
track has struggled
since the late 60's.
It may not survive too much
longer... Unless.

No matter what you want to know we cover some of it
here. Types of slot car motors, all scales of
slot cars, building slot
cars, resources for slot cars, a slot car blog , types of slot car tracks and
of course a slot car store at amazon for your safe shopping pleasure.
The
primary
purpose of SlotCarsForever.com is to provide a roadmap - a plan to
preserve slot car racing for generations to come.
The
bottom line is that slot
car racing has lost
it's appeal as far as the format and price. Something has to be done.
The cost has become so high and the value low. The car you buy
from a large commercial raceway doesn't look good and doesn't run good.
It takes some rebuilding to make the car competitive. The
Europeans do it a little better. They produce extremely accurate
looking true scale cars. They are even adding electronics so 2
cars can run on the same lane. It
has to be said, that the Scalextric, Carrera, Fly, etc 1 32 slot cars
are not much more than models. They don't have designed chassis, they
use magnets to help them stay in the slot of a plastic track. You won't
get these around a big commercial slot
car track. So we are
talking about 2
different types of slot
car racing. The choice is yours. We will help
you with both.
