SLOT RACING

Most slot racing sites are devoted to the latest results, latest tech tips, latest races, modern ways of building cars/ tracks / controllers or whatever.  This part of the slot_racing site aims to cover major races from years past, as well as  retro racing and older type cars.  Many thanks to the people who have contributed photos and information which has added lots of fascinating pages to this - I am still working on some of it so watch this space!  I am still trying to collect photos of past National champions and Nats winning cars. Any help or comments would be welcome. (e-mail me on slot_racing@yahoo.co.uk )
