I have been doing this show, "Sunday Slot Car Fun" for a while now but it's still pretty new.
I have been in show business for over 50 years now. I have done all kinds of things such as Spock's ears to creatures for GhostBusters and more. I have been a sculpture, visual effects creator, model maker, prop maker, and filmmaker. I have also been an actor and played aliens and monsters in movies.
I started with slot cars in the early 60's with my dad. He was a full sized driver too and I grew up around some great divers he was friends with and racing. When he died in 1966 I stopped racing slot cars and moved on but years later after my late wife passed in 2013 I took up slot cars again. It was always in my heart. I bought my first track from Electric Dreams and never looked back.
Today I have a film studio in Ventura where I still build and make models and creatures. But I have also started making my own slot cars from scratch. I built a T73 Cooper entirely from scratch and now I'm making a Cooper T51. Both these cars will be garage kits available soon with more to follow. It's wonderful to tinker together these small models that actually run and race. They are wonders.
I belong to the local club, "The FarrOut Slot Car Club" where we have races twice a month at various tracks around the LA area.
I thought I'd start a thread for what I'm doing with my slot cars here if it's appropriate. I read the rules and it seems like it is.
Here's the latest show for this Sunday.
