So you want to build a slot car tack? How do you build it?
The techniques for building slot car tracks are much the same for any layout - be it a 2 lane track in your loft - a slot stocks oval track - a 4 lane club circuit or a 8 lane megga track. Many of these web pages are based on my articles published in 'Slot Car Racing News' , although I've added a number of new topics since. These pages include what I've learned from building 6 club tracks over the years, helping maintain all the various National Championship tracks since 1972 and all 3 of the tracks used for World Championships in the UK and from talking to lots of other people (From professional builders to people who have built one club track) ........... That certainly doesn't mean I know all the answers - you always learn something new when working on tracks - if you have any better ideas or another way of achieving the same results then e-mail me info@bscra.co.uk Thank you to all the people who have contributed information to the site.
