I have been racing and collecting HO scale slot cars since the 1960's, when I purchased my first Aurora Model Motoring set as a young boy. The Ford GT-40 and Lola GT that came with that original Aurora Model Motoring set are long gone now, but my love for the hobby continues to this day.

About fifteen years ago I decided to build a dedicated 4-lane HO slot car track, a complete landscaped layout with pit lanes and a large paddock area to display my growing collection of slot cars. Since then I have built several other racing circuits and continue to add to my collection of HO scale race cars.

This web site is an ongoing project of mine. New sections that focus on HO Slot Car Racing, Collecting, Restoration and Track Layout Design will be added over the upcoming months. If you have suggestions for additional content please feel free to contact me.

I sell a complete line of slot car parts, race sets, track and accessories for all of the major brands including; Tomy, Aurora, Tyco, Auto World, BSRT and Life-Like.

So whether you're just getting started or have been racing slot cars for years there's sure to be something here for you. Along with carrying all of the major brands of slot cars, track and parts I also sell several after-market products lines such as; Parma controllers, Astron power supplies, BSRT high-performance parts, track landscaping supplies, buildings, Lexan bodies, tools and much more.

New Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Bodies for Aurora ThunderJet chassis as well as Johnny Lightning and Auto World reproductions are now available.

These high-quality injection molded ABS plastic bodies are available in twelve different color schemes. They come fully assembled and painted. Chrome plated bumpers, side pipes and a roll bar make these the nicest T-Jet bodies ever made.

Just mount them on any T-Jet chassis and you're ready to go racing. For more information and to order yours go to the ThunderJet page.

Tomy AFX is designing an all-new chassis for release late this summer. This is the first new Tomy chassis design in over 10 years! The new chassis is narrower, lower and faster than anything Tomy has done to-date.

With an overall chassis width of just over 0.700" the new Tomy AFX Mega G chassis will allow Tomy to produce much more accurate open wheel body shells, and the lower motor mounting will allow open cockpit cars such as Le Mans Prototypes and vintage roadsters.

This new Mega G chassis will provide a high-performance platform for many exciting new products from Tomy AFX in the years to come. The photograph below shows the new Tomy AFX Mega G chassis next to the current Super G+Plus.

Note the narrower profile of the Mega G chassis compared to the Super G+Plus, along with a simplified motor brush configuration and light-weight bulkheads and bearing carriers.

The new Mega G chassis weighs nearly 25% less than the current Super G+Plus. And when combined with the lower center of gravity, due to the low-slung motor positioning, promises to offer a very quick and good handling chassis.

The pictures above are of the preliminary test prototype. The final chassis moldings will be much crisper. The production chassis will sport BBS ChampCar wheels initially, with other styles to follow. The rear hubs will be smooth with only an inside rear flange. This new rear wheel construction will allow slip-on silicone tires to be fitted without first replacing the hubs, as is the case with the current Super G+Plus.

The chassis' roll center has been greatly reduced for better handling, and will open up all kinds of possibilities for realistic modern and vintage racecars. Polymer motor magnets and a pair of adjustable Neodymium traction magnets round out the power and handling package.

The Neodymium traction magnets can also be removed, or replaced with machined brass dead weights for old-school sliding and drifting action.

The first new body style to be released this fall will be the Dallara Champ Car chassis currently being raced by all of the Champ Car teams.

From here on out all new Tomy slot cars will sport ultra-detailed body shells, much like what was done this last Christmas with the Ford GT40 racers that were so successful.

Modern race cars have gotten wider and longer over the years. They have also become much lower. The new Tomy AFX Mega G chassis will be better suited to the new larger race cars appearing on racetracks here and in Europe.

In order to accommodate the longer wheelbase of modern cars Tomy has increased the wheelbase of their chassis from 1.625" to 1.7". This slight additional length will make open wheeled Formula 1 and Indy Cars much easier to model accurately. It will also make it possible to do a properly proportioned LMP-style body in the future.

The Tomy AFX SG+ chassis has front axle positions in the chassis to adjust the wheelbase at 1.625" for open-wheeled F1/IndyCars, and if the axle is moved back closer to the motor, a 1.5" wheelbase for current GT-style body shells.

The new Mega G chassis will be released initially with the slightly longer 1.7" wheelbase and the Dallara ChampCar body seen above. Shortly after, a shorter 1.5" wheelbase version will be released with a GT Body Clip similar to what is currently used on the SG+ chassis.

Like the Tomy AFX Turbo and SRT chassis which are produced in two distinct versions, i.e. SWB and LWB, the new Mega G chassis will be also available in both short and long wheelbase versions.

The new Tomy AFX Mega G chassis will provide the ideal platform for what Tomy plans to do in the next several years. Tomy's ideal is to produce HO scale slot cars that are every bit as detailed as their larger 1:32 scale cousins. The Ford GT40 models released just before Christmas are only the beginning, and the Mega G chassis will make all kinds of new and interesting slot cars possible.

New Tomy AFX Ford GT40 models are scheduled for release later this summer. Tomy has improved upon the original body by adding a detailed interior, and clear windows.

Two new models will be available; the Dark Blue No. 6 driven by Mario Andretti and a Yellow No. 8 driven by Alan Mann.

New Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupes will be available this Fall that will also have clear windows and detailed interiors. Specific colors and numbers are not yet finalized.

Auto World's new Super III chassis is now available. The first release includes several Ford Mustangs as well as late model stock cars from Chevy, Ford and Dodge.

This is an all-new modern in-line chassis with adjustable neodymium traction magnets. Auto World has opted for unique body mounting points, so these bodies will not fit Aurora, Tomy or Auto World XTraction chassis, nor can existing Aurora, Tomy or Auto World bodies be fitted to the Super III chassis.

See the Cars For Sale page to purchase these new Auto World Super III slot cars.

The gorgeous new Ford GT40 Le Mans race cars have arrived. Customers who pre-ordered 4-car sets should have received an email shipping notice earlier this week as I have filled all of my outstanding orders.

These Ford GT40 slot cars have the same Tomy AFX Super Racing Turbo (SRT) chassis as the previous Collectors Series Cobra Daytona and Chaparral 2D Coupes did.

If you're looking for the perfect gift this holiday season, then the four car set is an excellent choice. These cars are brand new, so you'll be certain to give a gift your favorite racer doesn't already have in their collection.

The fit and finish on these new Tomy AFX Ford GT40s is stunning. Click your mouse on the magnifying glass to the left of the individual car descriptions to see an enlarged picture of each of the four cars in this latest release from Tomy AFX.

Tomy has just released some new tracks sections. First up is a Tomy AFX 18" Radius 1/8 Circle Turn. These ultra-wide radius turns are ideal for faster modern slot cars as well as older vintage Aurora T-Jets and A/FX slot cars. They nest perfectly outside a 15" radius turn on 4-lane raceways.

Tomy has also re-released their Dual 15" Power Track. These power terminal tracks allow two (2) power packs to be plugged into a single terminal track for true independently powered lanes, no more power robbing or surges when your opponent in the lane next to you de-slots.

These Dual 15" Power Tracks also make it possible now to hook up Parma hand controls with 3-wire brakes! Tomy has dropped the orange and purple tampo printing on these new power tracks to give them a much more attractive appearance. Don't forget to order an extra power pack when purchasing these new terminal tracks.

The Tomy AFX 4-Way Split is back in stock, and it's better than ever. A Porsche 956/962C in the Shell livery replaces the Jaguar XJR-9 and the Minolta Toyota replaces the Tenoras livery from the original set.

The licensing agreements Tomy had expired so it was time for some new cars and these are beautiful alternatives.

The set's track inventory remains the same, as does the price at only $155.99. The new cars in this set are not available separately!

The set's (18) 12 inch radius 1/8 circle turns alone with these new cars still makes this a great deal for racers looking to expand their existing layouts. The Power page of my web site also shows you how the two additional power tracks and wall packs can be used with your current 4-lane layout to provide individually powered lanes.

When you total up what the contents of this set would cost separately, combined with the fact that the Porsche and Toyota are Set Only Cars you can't go too far wrong buying this set to upgrade your existing raceway.

Auto World has just released Two New Chassis in their line of ThunderJet 500 and X-Traction slots cars.

First up is the new ThunderJet Ultra-G chassis. This chassis has a Removable Neodymium Button Traction Magnet added to their existing ThunderJet 500 chassis. Six (6) all new body styles have been included in this latest release.

Next is the new X-Traction Flamethrower chassis with Working Front Headlights added to six (6) existing X-Traction body styles with transparent front headlight lenses.

All of these new releases are available in the Cars For Sale section for only $14.99 each. You can also purchase discounted 12-car sets for only $159.99. To find out more see the Auto World section for details about all of the Auto World slot car releases available to-date.

The Tomy AFX 2-Lane Long Beach GP race sets have arrived. Tomy's new 2-lane 50 foot Champ Car race set includes two of the new Super G+Plus Champ Cars, and enough track to build any of the eight (8) Champ Car Circuits shown on the box cover. This set also includes five (5) of the new Tomy AFX 18" Radius turns. Order yours today.

With the success of the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupes and Chaparral 2D Coupes, Tomy is continuing to add vintage race cars to its popular SRT Collectors series. The next new body style will be the awesome Ford GT40 that ran at Le Mans in the 1960's. Four different color schemes will be released in early October 2007 including the Bruce McLaren Le Mans winner shown below.

Tomy AFX chose the Ford GT40 for its next SRT Collectors Series release because of the large number of cars that were built and raced both here an in Europe in the 1960s. Tomy representatives have assured me that many more colors and liveries will be made available after the initial 4-car release this fall.

Tomy intends to manufacture all of the new body styles in the future to much higher standards of detail than they have in the past. Lloyd Ashbury was contracted to sculpt the new Ford GT40. Lloyd has been a master model maker since the 1960's. His work has no equal in the industry. That Tomy has secured his services bodes well for their plans for the future.

The photos below shows the high level of detail that Lloyd has been able to achieve in his latest efforts.

The Panoz LMP-1 body shells shown below are now available. At only $9.99 they'll make a great addition to your collection. These are high-quality injection molded bodies that will fit the Narrow (F1/IndyCar) Tomy Turbo or SRT chassis.

Tomy AFX has entered into a new partnership with the Champ Car Racing Series. These are the first four liveries of what should be an excellent new series of Tomy AFX Super G+Plus slot cars. Tomy has exciting plans for many new product releases throughout the year. The Champ Cars are only the first of what promises to be a very exciting year for Tomy AFX. Available now for only $21.50 each. Get all four!

You can see the full line of Tomy AFX, Tyco and Auto World slot cars in the Cars For Sale section of this web site.

The third release of Auto World ThunderJet 500 and XTraction slot cars have just arrived. Auto World is only offering these models in Jewel Case packaging at this time. Each of the six (6) body styles are available in two different colors. All of these new releases are available in the Cars For Sale section for only $14.99 each. You can also purchase discounted 12-car sets for only $159.99.

To find out more see the Auto World section for details about all of the Auto World slot car releases available to-date.

Anyone who has ever trimmed and mounted a Lexan body by hand will appreciate this fool-proof fixture. It takes the guesswork and tedium out of mounting any HO Lexan body. Check out the new Lexan Bodies section for more information about Lexan body shells.

The new AFX Tomy Chaparral 2D Coupes have finally arrived! The initial run of only 1000 of each model are going fast.

The first in the series is the No. 7 car driven to victory in the 1966 1000 Km of Nurburgring by Phil Hill and Jo Bonnier. The No. 9 car was entered in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for 1966. Phil Hill and Jo Bonnier were again teamed up to drive, but the car failed to finish the race due to a failed generator in the 8th hour.
