Book excerpt: Robert Schleicher wrote the book on slot car racing—literally. In the three short years since Schleicher’s Slot Car Racing: Tips, Tricks & Track Plans was published, the hobby has been virtually transformed by new products and technologies. This new volume, a perfect complement to its predecessor, brings readers and racers up to date, offering a concise, comprehensive overview of slot car racing’s developments, along with expert, practical guidance for putting this information to good use. A primer on the latest digital and analog developments for both 1/32 and HO scales, Schleicher’s book delivers the lowdown on building cars from individual components on ready-to-race chassis, as well as popular tune-up tips to get even more speed and better handling out of today’s cars. Schleicher also provides track tests of 70 cars and a slot-car shootout featuring 23 more vehicles. Finally, Schleicher includes nearly 50 track plans: 14 tabletop-size plans for Scalextric, Classic, Carrera, Sport, SCX, and Ninco brand track; 14 plans modeled on real circuits like Watkins Glen, Monaco, Spa-Francorchamps, Sears Point, and the Bahrain and Shanghai F1 courses; and 17 4x8-foot HO scale plans. Illustrated throughout with color photography and track plan line art, this is the book that no serious slot car racer can afford to be without.

Book excerpt: BUILD - RACE - WIN - REPEAT...The Rise & Fall of the Golden Years of Slot Car Racing Explained. Text includes articles from the main magazines of the period. Also includes a Worldwide Racing Directory, listing active slot car raceways from different countries in 5 continents...! By 1966, model-car racing was so popular that it threatened to replace bowling as the nation's favorite indoor sport. For as grand as the outcome, the force that propelled slot-car racing into a national pastime was a simple one: the realism of the original slot cars. The builders and racers of these models knew that the quest for speed should not come at the cost of the way a car looked. Their design was at the heart of their very integrity. In this new effort, author, researcher and slot-car racer Carlo Tonalezzi charts the meteoric rise of this hobby-sport and photographs classic model racing cars in their natural habitat: The commercial racing tracks. Models made by Russkit, AMT, COX, MPC, Monogram, and more are captured on vintage tracks from the American Model Car Raceways. These realistic beauties were made during the Golden Years of Model Racing. True pieces of Americana, they are today as magnificent as ever. Read all about what really happened during this exciting period of model racing bliss!

Book excerpt: It is a fair claim to make that, in the history of the slot car racing hobby, there has been nothing previously published that parallels this text.When the author set out on a journey to build a slot car track based on the Scalextric product, little did he appreciate all the considerations that this encompassed. It was soon realised that the building process involved considerably more than mapping out a design and assembling track pieces, for this alone did not assure a good outcome. Many choices needed to be made that together contributed to the outcome - a slot car track.Making a track was relatively easy. Making it to be 'good' was a different matter altogether.But what is it that makes a good slot car track, and how should its construction be approached? What steps can be taken to avoid a 'pot luck' outcome?This book, detailing the journey from conception to delivery, applies a methodical approach founded on architecture underpinnings to building a slot car track. It takes the reader through the many considerations and design choices in a narrative that describes what actually occurred and eventuated in the author's 10 year journey.Contained within is a detailed slot car track architecture framework. Comprising over 62 aspects spanning 10 domains, the framework details the many hundreds of considerations that the budding track builder needs to work through regardless of whether the track is analogue, digital, set track or routed. Even then 'good' is not assured for there is no specific design formula, however the likelihood of achieving a 'good' slot car track outcome is significantly enhanced when the unique intellectual property contained herein is applied.Slot Cars and Architecture - Track Design & Construction Insights is an enjoyable and essential reference for those seeking to build 'good' a slot car track, and for those who enjoy the slot car racing hobby.

Book excerpt: FOREWORD by Philippe de Lespinay (Los Angeles Slot Car Museum Curator). Thingies stand proudly as slot-car rebels in this newest work by author and slot-racing enthusiast Carlo Tonalezzi. Vibrant photos of these classic model cars adorn the pages as a brief history explains how they helped to propel the hobby into a global phenomenon. Enjoy images of the BZ Banshee, Classic Industries ASP, Dynamic Bandit, Cox La Cucaracha, and many more. All photos taken on American Model Car Raceways vintage tracks. "Coffee Table" style photo book with over a hundred big size color pictures. As model car racing refined itself and became more competitive, enthusiasts started to make their own chassis, wire their own motors, and pursue faster and faster cars. But with this heightened spirit of serious competition came a decrease in the number of fans who could keep up. The pool of racing enthusiasts who had the time and money to keep pace with slot racing technology was shrinking. Hobby companies, themselves competing against one another for the highest profits, were spitting out chassis, gears, and kits faster than the average racer could put them together; and by the time they did, an even faster car had made their new model obsolete again. To the newcomer who wanted to be competitive on the racetrack but didn't have the time or means to build a model from scratch, enough was enough.The hobby industry knew something had to be done. The void was filled by an industrial designer named John Power. His efforts materialized as a Ready-to-Run slot car released by Classic Industries. The Manta Ray was extremely well received, and other "rebels" soon joined the gang: the BZ Banshee, Classic Industries ASP, Dynamic Bandit, and Cox La Cucaracha, to name a few. So the futuristic dream cars, or Thingies, were born. Ready to race right out of the box, they were aggressive looking--and, most importantly, they were fast!

Your Log Book will keep a clear record of all your best results and what is needed to be done to achieve them.

Not only that, but you will have records of everything you have done to any of your cars at any racing event: What gear ratio was used? What wheels and tires? Did you change the guide or brushes? Did you add weight? All of your specific technical data will be neatly organized for future reference in your Slot Car Racing Log Book & Journal.
