    The latest issue of the rag just arrived and there is an interesting article about 1/32 slot cars. I got into slot cars in the 1960's as a kid, originally with HO and then 1/32. At one point I belonged to a club that had a large 1/32 track where we raced a couple of nights a week. In the late 70's and early 80's I then got into AFX HO scale and built an elaborate home track on a 4 x 10 plywood base table. This article has got me pumped. I've always prefered HO for the house because you can put in a much larger scale size track than with 1/32. The article was only about 1/32 but I'm wondering about what the state of the art is with HO these days? Any slot car fans out there who can offer suggestions?

    One of those things from my childhood that I unfortunately did not hang onto: my Aurora "Model Motoring" HO slot car set. I had a Stingray and an E-Jag; it was "Deadman's Curve" in the basement! I lost interest in slot cars after I bought my MGA in 1966, nearly doing the "Deadman's Curve" thing again with the MG the next year.
