I am a 28 years old married man, we have one little girl. I've been building drag slot
cars since December of 2009, my father and I have gone from RC racing to
slot cars and we love it. He is retired and has a lot of spare time but not a lot of
extra funds and I'm an out of work plumber with a baby girl to raise.
My wife works long hours to keep us living a good life. So, during the week
my dad watches our little girl while I look for work in the morning and build us
some fairly slick drag cars at night.

It's rolling on flat black Pro-Tracks painted flat black as well. It's rolling on a
The power plant is a Pro-Slot 16D with timing cranked up. It does 1.20s in the 1/4 mile.
It could do more, but I have it geared like that to be consistent.
