Welcome Frank! First – I would like to suggest that visit the Houston Scale Auto Racing Club (HSARC) in Cypress on Jones Rd. They are a 1/32 club very much like us – I think you would really enjoy the camaraderie and it’s a great sport/hobby. You can visit them for free; and they have a retail shop out front.
HO-wise – as Russ mentioned we have a few constraints on space. If the 80-footer is something you are offering we may be interested … but space may be an issue. Please reply with details.
NOTE We occasionally have some fun HO races on a temporary plastic AFX track on the cover of our existing Rally track. Lane length is appx 30-feet but good enough for fun.
As Russ said, many of us have AFX Mega-G+ cars, along with our stashes of legacy T-Jets and the various Autoworld cars (repos of various Aurora product families), and we have DS Racing controllers as well as the OEM ‘trollers.
OFFER/REQUEST: If you ever visit Austin, please come by some Saturday (check our calendar) and bench-race with us and check us out 🙂 [personally I am usually at the track from 1p-7p even on Non-race days; 5124681376].
It is totally free to hang out with us or run several sample laps on our road course; we are very mellow and not a commercial business.
Our sport is not as hard-core as the metal 1-24s such as raced at Jim’s track(s); (or at PA Watsons or Pflugerville) but we are competitive and the action is fast. There is also more modifications you can make to a 1/32 car as compared to a HO.
Spyder Out!
