My kids and I dove into commerical slot car racing (best hobby on the planet!) all because of Mike's welcoming and what he offers slot car fanatics at Chicagoland Raceway.
 
As a newbie I was interested in seeing Sano 7 as a spectator and what a fantastic experience it was!
 
Mike and Jackie AKA Mrs. Swiss hosted an incredible event! I can't wait for Sano 8!
 
I got to meet and talk a bit with the legendary Noose, and it was fantastic to talk to the other guys, too. I was glad to see some of our Wednesday night group competing too as Lee, KVP and Dave raced as well.
 
I took pictures of Noose's concours-winning F1 and Can-Am cars, the tables loaded with everything everyone brought to dial in their cars, and some of the Can-Am cars as they qualified and got set to race in one of the B-Main Races.
 
Enjoy. :)

Great pics, Ricky. Glad you enjoyed the event and hopefully will race with us next year!

BTW, thanks for not taking a picture of my pit area! It looked like a bomb went off most of the weekend :laugh2:  :laugh2:
 
Almost forgot, I think you sponsored lunch on Sunday, many thanks. :good:

Does anyone have any pictures of the cars without the bodies? I'd like to see what the chassis looked like.

You need to get your priorities straight Noose. You need to quit your job if it's interfering with your slot racing. :laugh2:
