Vern Moresman of Ventura Hobbies was kind enough to give me this 50 plus year old Revell slot car track. I’ve had it for a while and it’s just like the one I had when I was 12 years old. I had set it up back then in the garage and made it a dirt track oval like the type my dad used to race on. I loved the Offenhauser midgets the best and had a couple back then.
Yesterday I got it out of the box and it was really corroded from all the years. But I cleaned it up and to my amazement it all still worked. Every from the controllers to the power supply.
It’s mounted on an insulation foam board and eventually I’ll add dirt and some landscaping. The whole thing is very light weight and when done I’ll bring it home. It’s about 8 ft. by 3.
I ran my unfinished Bentley build on the track. Today I’ll bring the Midget to the studio and give her a spin!
So much fun and my dog Rosie likes it too!
