Anyone have any pictures? Track condition?

[Ralph Thorne]

There are a few pictures HERE.

Nothing. Where was the track before? G3?

[Ralph Thorne]

The track was privately owned and came from the Northeast. I believe it is G3. They are currently repainting the walls and rebraiding it.

Thanks!

Here's a pic of G3 I took yesterday at the Retro South race at SpeedZone. First King I think I've ever seen with the side panels painted white!



The track is operational but they're still sorting out the lap counter hook-up.

The King is racing tonight at Speedzone PTC!!!

Ooohhh... let's have a FULL glue race on that baby!!!

[bluecars]

I ran on that track last Sat. You don't need glue. I ran a Group 27 wing car on it and it was punch except for one blip just before going under the bridge. The same with Hawk GTP and Hawk wing car. Very fast and smooth track.

[Slow1ron@yahooo.com]

I was being facetious as the white paint would be black as coal when done with a full weekend of glue racing.

Mike Shepard and I met at SpeedZone in Peachtree City yesterday and put some laps on Mike’s fleet of cars on the white King track. I had a great time and must thank Mike for the use of his cars. The track is so smooth and fast it even makes an old out of practice man feel like he can drive. Great track great fun.

 On the negative side the track is so wide that putting a car on the far lane from you is a reach for a short fellow, but not something that is a real problem. The control hook-ups are odd and I had problems with what to do with the controller when I wanted to put it down. The fear of shorting out to the hookup post was a concern. That’s minor stuff.

Great track, great fun.

Good to hear Mike's back playing again...

Does anyone have a phone number for the Peachtree City slot track, so I can call ahead to make sure they will be open before driving over?

[Cheater]

Billy,

The phone number is listed in the raceway's entry in Slotblog's Raceway List:

SpeedZone PTC

  ^{Thanks, and remember, when you find yourself on a first Saturday of the month with nothing to do, come on down and play slot car with us.}

[Bud Greene]

Billy,

You will like this place. They have a first class place. That spread Hillclimb is my favorite but the King track is nice, too.

We will see you in June.

[Pablo]

See you June 7 at The Dungeon, airhead.
