Default Slot car track in Lynchburg...

Is it still open? It has been years since I have been down there.

It was located in a little stripmall near Grease Monkey.

No, they aren't. In fact, a friend of mine has the track from the shop in his garage.

I wish they would do it some more. The lack of slot car racing is why I got into R/C in the first place.

I don't know. He just told me he had it. I haven't seen it.

We just need to get eveyrone into 1/18 scale R/C and be done with it. We used to race them here at my work parking lot, but everyone got out of it and got into the big gas powered cars and trucks. I love the small scale stuff.

Here's a photo of our track:
