Slotblog is the new internet home
for Electron Raceway! Thanks to Slotblog’s owner, Greg
Wells for his interest in Electron Raceway and his dedication to slot car
racing. The essence the Electron Raceway forum/site is summarized in the three “pinned”
threads included in the “Welcome” forum. May I also suggest that you visit the
“What’s New?” forum each and every time you visit Electron Raceway. The
“pinned” thread alerts readers to new and/or updated postings for the entire
Electron Raceway forum/subforums. The thread also
serves to announce upcoming events at Electron Raceway.
Slotblog has been kind enough
to allow me the flexibility to create a site/forum with more of a look and feel
of a stand-alone website. Sure, I expect postings and discussions but the site
is also designed for two other purposes.
·
Serve
as a tool to communicate with those who participate in events held at Electron
Raceway and our sister track, Spare Time Raceway
·
Share
my passion for 1/24 “True Scale” hard body racing with the much larger Slotblog community.
The following table is not only an outline of
the site or hierarchy but may also be used to navigate the site quickly and
easily.

When
traveling, I enjoy visiting slot racing facilities, especially those focused
on scale racing. Articles will include several past experiences such as
racing with the Arizona Garage Racing group (AZGR) in the Phoenix Arizona
area, racing at Sidewinder Raceway in the Sacramento California area, the
Slot Car Convention held at Cruzin’ Hobbies plus in Chandler Arizona and much
more. In addition to these retrospectives, I’ll post articles on brand new
experiences. |
