I almost did the same thing. I was going to buy the track that's now at Dallas Slot Cars and put it in the pawn shop. I moved the shop to another space in my small strip center and was going to put the track in the old space. I thought I had plenty of room but once I measured there would be little room left for the pit area. I was really bummed at the time but it turned out for the better. The pawn shop has grown and I would have had to get rid of the track. And it's in good hands at DSC.

This is crazy. Bobby must be my brother from another mother. He's into musical instruments. That's how I made my living for 20 years before I bought the pawn shop. So we both own pawn shops, sell musical instruments and like slot cars. http://www.bobbysmusicandpawn.com/
