If you have questions about the hobby of slot car racing this might be the place to get them answered. We've tried to group the FAQ into some kind of order. We don't have a search available yet but if you use the 'Find' under your dropdown 'Edit' menu of your browser you should be able to find most anything you want. This site developed as an idea put forth on a slot car discussion list. You may well have been directed to this site from that list. Questions are invited and, in fact, encouraged. If you have ideas or tips or even articles of your own and would like to contribute to the fount of knowledge, please contact anyone whose email address is on this site.
