John was very instrumental in getting retro racing started in New England. John & his son Jonathan used to have, maybe still does, one of the mini coupe race cars.,

We had a nice test night @ Genn Gordon's last Saturday. John sent Russ Upton a car just like the one pictured. Glenn drove it and it ran as good as it looked.

Lucky Bobs Raceway 414 327 4003
or on Ebay from LANDSHARK
Also a tricked out version with NEO magnets, not for more power but more brakes.

John,
Highest of kudos for the excellent workmanship! I am an admirer!
The neo magnets would make these gravity cars the most fun to drive!
Car Model magazine featured an angle-winder build back when I was a kid and I was hooked into scratch-building these.
The Nats are going to be in Denver next summer - I hope to meet you again if you are coming.

Sorry about the nerf. "Sorry? Sorry? There's no apologizing in slot car racing!"
Besides, where would I even begin? I should probably start with my wife ...
"I don't often get very many "fast laps" but I very often get many laps quickly." ™
The only thing I know about slot cars is if I had a good time when I leave the building! I can count the times I didn't on one two three hands!
