question to all - Places to race locator - in Ohio and other places

[Fast Track]

So from reading forum(s), we are mostly middle aged (at least), meaning all raised kids and are into the hobby to have some fun and relive the past. No real threat to lol...

Are there any groups within each others cities that are just coming together in groups of 3-5 or so and just have fun coming together to have a good time in each other’s houses?

It just seems like we are some unimposing quiet types that are just trying to race in between our honey-do lists.

If I am in left field, let me know as well.

Canada, Colorado, and washington have clubs that have multiple tracks near each other. They have formed group that races at a different track each week..I havent heard of any in Ohio.
The old forum had a map that you could put a pin location for your town and you could see people near you and contact them thru a PM. The app was seperate from the HRW forum and was free for awhile. than either the site decided to charge$$ for it, or the free part was filled and when it went over that number of users, it stopped working and wanted to charge HRW a fee for using it.

We might suggest something like that again. Maybe just a thread and seperated by state. You could put a location and maybe a picture or two. thread under clubs or tracks. readers roads has couple of entries of tracks and locations, maybe a sticky there?

Your not far from a group of us that do something similar to what you are talking about!
You can get a little bit of a feel for our "fun" by checking out the following threads and associated FB link below.

We have a group of about 10- 1/32 racers in the Buffalo area. We alternate Tuesday racing between 2 , 3 lane analog MDF track. Great times. Most cars are slot.it cars.

The Minneapolis area has a couple commercial tracks at Scale Model Supplies in St. Paul. There is a tri-oval and a Euro Englemann. However, the track is only open on Saturdays.

We have a regular group of 5-6 guys that get together once a week to race, but we aren't super competitive. Mostly racing for fun and giving each other crap. We usually race at Smithtown Speedway (2 lane Carrera), but The Grotto (2 lane Scalex) and Timberline Trace (2 lane MDF) get into the rotation every once in a while. If you are ever in the area, drop us a line. We love visitors and have plenty of cars available.

We are a NE Ohio based group of Carrera Digital & Analog 1/32 slotters in the Cleveland/Akron area. About 4-5 of us rotate hosting home races every other weekend, from 60' - 110' tracks.

Thanks for info, maybe Ohio grows to such a level that we would travel there, maybe 4 hours away!

...just to think I was afraid to post!

We’ve all been there, I lurked for QUITE a while. It’s intimidating at first, but unlike some forums - no worries about experiencing snobbery here at HRW.

Happy slotting, eh

Never be afraid to post here. Everyone has the same intention. and that is to make this hobby even more enjoyable.

In the Portland area we have 6 routed tracks in both 1/32 and 1/24 scales including one former commercial track, we also have a couple of plastic tracks and a couple of HO tracks that we race T-Jets on.

We get a lot of variety, but on the other hand that is a lot of cars to build and maintain.
