I don't know about you, but when I got interested again in slot cars, the 'real' cars fascinated me even more! In fact, the more I learn about real cars and racing; the more I appreciate my slot cars; the details that go into them; the history behind the cars, the stories about the drivers. The "realness" adds a lot of fun to this hobby for me. The slot car magazines help me stay up to date on the latest news; you will want to check them out for sure. We carry several varieties; and often have back issues available; but once they are gone folks their gone; so order them while you can!
