I'm going to New Jersey. Through the marvel of Google maps, it appears that I have two choices of entertainment.

 

1st) The slot car track in Mt. Holly

or

2nd) A club called Cheerleaders.

 

Both are within reasonable driving range.

Here's the question: Which one would you choose?
I've already decided, but I'd like to see what you would choose.

At SpeedZone you will have fun. At Cheerleaders, you could get in trouble. Choose wisely! :)

Without a doubt, SpeedZone. One of the better raceways in the country.

The real question is which cars do you bring to run?

What cars? Jersey John's - DUH!
Seems there's a IRRA race at Cheerleaders on the 15th.

Never heard of Cheerleaders. It isn't listed here at Slotblog. More info please.

There is probably a reason. LOL.

So they're probably not having a race using IRRA rules on the 15th, I'm guessing.

Correct.

I'm 99% sure you are a victim of Mark's "unique" brand of humor.

Obviously Mark meant that there was a ballet performance at Cheerleaders, sanctioned by the International Raunchy Rippers Association.

Thanks, Mike.
 
So, should I add two more votes for SpeedZone for you and Cheater?

Mark,

 

You should go to Cheerleaders.

 

I bet after you leave, a few of the ladies will be inspired to turn their lives around.

🤔 Decisions, decisions. Mike, If I choose that option, I won't let you down.

Slot cars are female repellent. Going to Cheerleaders you'll have the force-field fully deployed and your money and soul protected. Just don't say anything about qualifying on the pole.

Phil is correct. When I was young and foolish, I thought of bringing a date to the model railroad club I belonged to. Then after thinking about it, I decided that introducing her to a group of grown men playing with little trains would not impress her much.

I can see it now. A room full of Snidley Whiplashes trying to tie her to the track and Dudly Duright coming to save the day. Only in America.
 
Dave, what's your vote?

If I'm not mistaken, Buzzie's had bunnies for marshals.

I'm too old to get involved in any of that. I learned long, long ago that the guys that talk about sex the most, are the ones doing it the least. Sweet dreams.

Ok,due to the GPS in this stupid Rav4 sending us in circles, I'm not going to either. I've had enough of "exotic dancers " (AKA strippers) for 3 life times. However after 50+ years, no matter how bad I am at racing, I'm
📢NOT sick of it.
I've got to come back here and I'll plan the trip around the next race.
Dave, I'm putting your vote on Speed zone. Final score:
Speed zone 5
Cheerleaders 1
Mike, thanks for indulging my excentricites and, if I'm ever in your neighborhood, we'll have to show some entertainers the benefits of changing their profession to Marshalling slot car racing.
PS: DIDN'T REALIZE IT OMITTED THE
📢NOT
