    Ok...looks like Satuday Feb. 25th from 5pm-9pm will be the date and time. I will start a list of who is coming. Please let us know if you will be attending so we can prepare for the crowd. :hug: The price will be $10 a person and that will include a 12 race card normally priced $22! You will also be able to purchase additional 12 race cards at that discounted price. In addition, all members will receive a 20% discount on any purchases!
    Brian has decided to do a raffle for a Scalextric Peter Solberg WRB WRX slot car from the Swedish Rally! The tickets will be $3 each! They will be for sale from 5pm-8pm!

    I guess it would depend on how much it is. I don't know if I would find it fun but I would be willing to try if it's not expensive. (ah i hate being a poor college student)

    It's a small (but sometimes long) track with a slot in it that has an electrical current running in it. A car that has a little thing to put in the slot, goes on the proper lane and you have a trigger that makes the car accerlate depending how how much you pull the trigger.

    Guys...the track owner Bruce is refering to is myself and I really would like to have a day sometime perhaps at the end of Feb. that we could do like $7-$10 per person and you run as long as you like and then of course some discounts if you want to buy your own car. This is a very fun and addictive hobby that really isn't too expensive. But I would love to have a GTG here....let's make it happen.

    Dates could be one of the following::::

    Feb 23rd (thursday)
    Feb 25th (saturday)
    Feb 26th (sunday)


    And I can do an all day thing or like a 5pm-10pm type of thing as well.

    $10 to run any rental for 12 races......and if you are a member on this site then you get 20% disc on any purchase @ anytime. However we are having quite a huge sale this month...so bring it on and let me know what days are best for you guys and if you want to do an all day thing or just like an evening thing. I am looking forward to this!!!!
