H O S L O T C A R R A C I N G 2008 |
|---|
|
Fall is here and many of us are getting
our HO racing programs started up again.
We're dusting off our tracks and tuning up our cars for another racing season. |
| BSRT G-Jet |
|
The big news is the new BSRT G-Jet. Once
Again BSRT has hit one out of the park!
The BSRT G-Jet is a truly new take on HO slotcar racing. There's a G-Jet section on my web site devoted solely to this new idea in racing. I think it's safe to say that G-Jet racing will really change the hobby. Both hard-body scale racers and dyed-in-the-wool Lexan racers are going to love this new class of HO racing. The G-Jet promises to put new fun in HO slotcar racing. |
| Auto World |
|
Other big news includes the rebirth of the
Auto World brand. A re-designed T-Jet and
X-Traction chassis, along with exciting new
body styles and boxed race sets will be
a sure boost to the hobby. Auto World race
sets will include Tomy-compatible track!
If the Johnny Lightning Aurora chassis clones left you wanting, then you'll appreciate the new Auto World versions. They're fast and smooth handling. Not to mention the new, more detailed bodies. |
| Tomy |
| New from Tomy are more cars. Over the past few months Tomy has introduced several new cars; the gorgeous Chaparral 2D Coupes, new Formula 1 paint schemes and NASCAR models. |
| Decals |
| We've got a good selection of decals in a variety of styles and eras. New sheets are being added weekly. |
| Layouts |
| We've added several new layouts including 2- and 4-lane raceways that can be built using the limited track selection offered by Life-Like. |
| Race Sets |
|
This new section highlights Tomy race sets.
I've included layout sheets for all the tracks
in the Super International Set. No more
scratching your head trying to figure out
how they're built.
Auto World race sets will also be included as soon as they become available. Their sets will be smaller entry level sets with basic 9 inch radius turns and 15 inch straights. The Super International is still the set to own for all-out racing though. |
| This coming season promises to be an exciting one. New products from BSRT and Tomy along with the launch of Auto World should make this year's racing better than ever... |
| Wizzard |
|
If you haven't heard about the Thunder Storm car yet, where have you been? It's the first car of its type to hit the market. The Thunder Storm may well be the biggest thing to hit H.O. slot racing in decades. What's all the excitement about? Wizzard has put together a brilliant combination of components to come up with a "non-magnet" version of the Storm car, including vibration dampening weights and new tires, dubbed the Thunder Storm. Far from being simply a magnet car with the traction magnets removed, it's an entirely new concept in many ways. In one fell swoop, Wizzard has moved the goalposts for all H.O. slot car manufacturer's and proves, once again, why they have been the technology leader in H.O. slot racing!
