Here's some news I found interesting... New 1/43 slot cars from Kyosho that will also run on my 1/32 track...

http://www.kyosho.com/dslot43/lineup/index.html

What makes it more interesting to me are the Spark 1/43 models of the Matech LeMans cars...

I hope to have the 2 Spark Matech (and Marc VDS) LeMans cars running soon.

I would like to put a track in the garage/cave. HO, 1/32, or 1/43, I know it depends on available space but, that may be adjustable. What do you have for a layout?

Did you say Slot Cars???? I still have mine from when I was 10 years old and have accumulated all these in the last 5 years as well.

Some companies out of Italy and Europe in general make all the old GT racing models. 1/32 is by far the most collectible now and it is where all the new stuff is being made for. I'm buidling a
Laguna Seca replica track in my garage. You can get out of control with this stuff which is fine with me:)

Out of control sounds about where I would be.

I have seen - and aspire to - those!

Simple layout right now, about 105ft of track, loosly based on Catalunya in Barcelona...

And don't want to forget my Vipers! I believe I have all the models Fly built including a couple of plain white prototypes and an E-2 Indy Viper.

Steve, if you see this you'll notice I finally did something with your pictures from San Luis Argentina - Matech's last race. Many thanks!
