King track, Canadian white flat track (sold), Silky four-lane track, HO Bucktrax oval. Family health issues force sale of all above.

 

The King and White came from Wade Raceway in Nampa, ID. Both were still up and running at a different location when we went up there and took them apart and brought them to Utah. Both were in exellent condition.

 

The Silky track I bought in Vegas from one of the owners of Slot Car City. Was also up and running in exellent condition when we went out and took it apart and brought back to Utah.

 

Call Don with any questions or for pics. (801) 792-7973.

Is the King something the people like? Some Kings are better than others as you all know.

I have raced on King tracks all over the country since the '80s and I would not have bought it if I didn't think it was a great track. I have known about this track for over 15 years, and would not be selling it if my wife had not come down with cancer. This King is as good as any I've raced on, that's why I bought it.

Does anyone know the history of the Canadian white?

 

I think I may have raced on it.   :)

I was told it was built in Canada, just above WA state, by a college woodshop class. wound up at raceway in Seattle. They raced the Seattle Slugfest years ago. I think it then went to Nampa, ID, Wade raceway. Resurfaced by Gary Gerding a few years back.

 

Then I purchased it two years ago, The Slot Shop Salt Lake City. Not 100 % sure, but thats what I was told in my brief research.

Ron,

 

If you raced with Lee Gilbert's PNW AMCA group in Puyallup, WA, then, yes, you raced on it. It replaced a privately-owned American black.

When I lived in Fresno, CA, I got up to the Seattle Slugfest several times and ran on the Canadian White. It was an awesome flat track and I enjoyed the racing every time I was there.

As I remember, the Canadian White was one of the first CNC routed tracks. It had the walls made of the same plastic that is used in making hockey rink dasher boards...

Raced the Slugfest once on that track. Was a great group of guys!

 

Didn't realize that Don owned that track.


So much DRAMA for such small cars....
