I apologize for not noticing that the 📢NOT was omitted in my last post.
Final score:
Speed Zone 6
Cheerleaders 1
Hopefully I'll be able to plan my next excursion for 6/11 and maybe have a part 2 survey. Until then, I'm going to recruit some new track marshall's like Buzzie had.

I'm not saying strippers are bad people. After all, I dated one for a while when I lived in Green Bay. Summer of 1971. 148 bars in and around the downtown. 7 were strip joints. Like the "Bunny Hop", "Sans Soucy", "Hog's Pen", "Pack and the Hounds " (strippers at the "Pack" only on weekends, otherwise a music venue featuring heavy metal bands). Green Bay is where I really learned to drink.

 

Never thought about slot racing during......you know. Just trains.

Riding on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

 

All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out at Kankakee
And rolls along past houses, farms, and fields

 

Passing trains that have no name
And freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

[Chorus]
Good morning, America. How are you?
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.

 

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Ok, due to the GPS in this stupid Rav4 sending us in circles, I'm not going to either.

 

Why am I not surprised by this?  :wacko2:   :laugh2:

Good to hear from you again Bill! Nothings shocking. Personally, I think that exotic dancers would be great Marshall's. It worked for Buzzy. I know there's a picture on here (rated G Mike)somewhere.

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.

 What??? I only race slot cars for the groupies.

If you go to the slot car raceway, you'll first have to build cars. If you go to the other place, you'll first have to put on some body lotion, then buy a bottle or two of something on your way. If it was my decision, I'd stay home or go for a hike.  :)

To quote the great slot car philosopher, "Diamond" Jim Evans, "Slot car racing will never be big time until it gets groupies".

In spite of what you saw on The Sopranos , NJ does not sell booze in strip clubs.

and at the gas station stay in your car,  the guy coming over is either the attendant or a thief.

ChaparrAL: found out a little late that the pump jockey wasn't a car jacker. He's recovering nicely from what the DA'S office is telling me 🤣.Years ago I was in a byob club in Sarasota, a cultural shock.
I was amazed at how different it (NJ) was from the stereotype. Cherry Hill is pleasant.

Depends on your wallet. You'll spend more money on Cheerleaders.

Icvaldataro,I suppose it's all in how you handle the curves. Don't think you can call "📢TRACK" at cheerleaders. If you did, you'd probably hear:
"🔊SECURITY "
