Is scr8p going oval racing again?
There's a new shop not too far from my place. They have a few slot car tracks, and an indoor carpet oval..... also an outdoor dirt oval that they finished just before winter hit. A few guys I raced with back in the day race there. One of them is the race director. He also builds/designs his own cars. So I had been debating on picking up a cheap 1/10 oval car, just never got around to it.
Well, 2 weeks ago Frank (the race director) raffled off a car that he had setup and raced in the breakout class. I usually don't get involved with raffles but something made me grab 2 spots. As luck would have it, my name was pulled from the hat. So here's my new Mertz 513 1/10 oval car. Just have to install a receiver and a pinion and I'll be ready to go.

Always go with your gut! Nice win! Would like to see some video clips of this when you take it to the track.

Very nice! Congrats!
Where did the new shop open up? I haven't been back to the Lehigh Valley in more than a year, so I'm a bit out of touch with stuff there.

Right out front of Mahoning Valley Speedway. In the old farmers market.
