1:32 Scale – Club Tracks Upon Which I Have Raced in Recent Years


Above – A mile from the big oval in Speedway, Indiana is this 4-lane oval for 1:32nd scale slot car racing. Trying to beat those Indy guys on an oval is TOUGH!! I do a little better when they turn it into a road course.


Above – And right here in Fort Wayne, a great place to race. Summit Raceways' 4-lane Carrera track. Occasionally I even get some good finishes there, say, for instance:
