I probably posted back in April about a woman who came in with her son and father, who I thought was taking pictures for her personal FB pages.
It turned out she was a fairly big Instagram influencer who was taking videos. Wel,l she re-edited that video and reposted it nine days ago on Facebook Reels (without contacting me).
I first realized it when I came across it on my FB feed, shared by Cheater on the Slotblog FB page. So for the last nine days, I've been answering the phone. LOL.

Superb. This hobby has appeal! We need to be sharing it – and this is a great example – with people who
love cars, love kids, love fun, but have never held a controller.
Share your joy, with people you don't even know. Toss the pebble, see where the ripples go!

Rob,
Thanks. 875 shares so far.
Some of my regular customers have told me that acquaintances of theirs have approached them, knowing that slot racing was a hobby of theirs, and mentioned that they had seen the reel.

Being an analog guy trapped in a digital world things like this continue to amaze me.
Congrats to you and any other track owners who may benefit from this new era of slot racing digital/internet awareness.
In the hobby of slot racing there always seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

...there always seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.
That's the oncoming train.

I am all for it if it gets new or lost eyes on our hobby.
