Is Dennis Hill AKA Foamy still racing drag cars?

He's still around but the drag tracks are too far away for him to participate. He ran at the NSR event at Electric Dreams this last weekend, so he's still pulling the trigger.

Don't know if Dennis ever had a real car (he does however has every form of hobby racing cars, LOL).

... He has to rely on others to get him to races.

I thought it was Dennis in one of the heats at the NSR Western Championships at ED. I am noticing more of the prominent 1/24 racers are crossing over to 1/32 racing.

Racing at ED is a learning cruve. It seems 1/24 guys that have paved the way and help their 1/24 friends with the setup do well.

 

A good racer is a good racer no matter the scale or venue.

 

The big races at ED have good production value and bring slot racing to the general public better than any other forms of slot racing.

Not that I'm a prominent 1/24 racer but I crossed over. Most fun I've ever had slot car racing.
