Slot car racing on a true bullring built out of a 4X8 sheet of MDF.
 
We race two classes: Legends, which are Womp chassis "box stock" with Champion legend bodies, and also Womp chassis but a little more open and running resin short track modifieds.

 

We have made kids out of adults because we have had so much fun. We currently have ages 5-62 racing with us.
 
Our race time is Sunday evenings, with practice at 4 PM and racing starts at 5 PM.
 
If you want to join in our "bullring" fun, contact Scott Inman at bscott.inman@gmail.com.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

That looks one cool little track!

 

Used to race on an oval made on two 8'x4' sheets end to end and that was so much FUN!

I could think of some great 1/32 classes to run on that track. Maybe some day. I wouldn't want to run 4.5" cars on it, but 4" might be similar to the 1:1 stock cars I used to watch run on the former quarter mile Westboro Speedway which was originally built for midgets. :)

Yes, we are located in Noblesville, IN. We are 30 minutes northeast of downtown Indianapolis.

 

We try to be as economical as possible in our classes and rules. I am working to have a Facebook page up that will detail all rules.

 

With the Womp chassis we are having a blast and with a tight track it puts a premium on driver control. The time difference between lanes, even though a big distance difference, is minimal due to the different driving styles needed. Basically motor-wise everything has been 16D due to that is what we had. I have the track set at 12Vvand driving requires lots of throttle control.

 

There will be another bigger track built but not until my wife gets a bigger house. Have to keep her happy so I can keep playing. 

 

We have been running some hardbody 4.5" cars; it is fender banging but can be done with lots of respect.

 

I based my idea for this track off the local Indianapolis Speedrome (just without figure 8).

 

I am a full scale drag racer but love local short track as well.

 

Any questions, comments, or helpful hints are welcome.

This falls racing series will be raising money for the Central Indiana Special Olympics.

 

Entry fee is $6 per class and will pay back 50%. The rest will go toward the Special Olympics.

 

Will be announcing corporate fund matching soon. Anyone interested in joining by racing or donation, please let me know how you would like to help.
