And more junk.

I haven't checked the schedule for the races yet but wonder how many they are going to start streaming like the NFL did. My cable bill is stupid high as it is and not going to get into that Hi Tech crap of streaming and all that added price. Kids use some kind of stick service for football, etc. but they don't watch any NASCAR, no cable either. To complicated for me but the 6 yo grandson can run it.

I'm having to learn streaming, like it or not, Rog. Unfortunately, you will probably miss 5 Cup races that will stream on Amazon Prime. Those are the only ones I know I will be able to see at this point since we already have it. Here is the 2025 schedule with the broadcasters listed.

Looking at Fubo right now. My wife is already regretting not continuing with our former cable provider as she misses some shows and local news. I won't be missing it at all until The Clash and Speedweeks in February!

I don't like it any more than you do, but when there are no choices, one needs to adapt.

Looks like the slot car track I want to build will be a door slab track! Got several around here so will tinker with it when I can. Started working up ideas for some race car lettering for a customer this afternoon after I did laundry, figured out how to take the water saver out of the new shower head and ran the dishwasher. I had to cancel a doc appt I forgot about for today. I didn't see the email reminder until there was no way I could make it in time. They didn't call back to reschedule yet.

I need to look up in the overhead in the shop because I think we still have our old track like that. I believe ours was a figure 8. These are the larger cars as I remember. We should have an AFX track also. Probably find the mice and rats made chew toy out of them.

I had this built as a figure 8 a few months ago, CJet. I didn't want a bridge. Needed some more straights to make a decent oval track. The Eldon cars are 1/32 scale. Non magnet downforce HO cars seem to run well on this track after I played for awhile. They slide like dirt cars so if I ever get this thing done it will be painted up to look like a dirt track. I have lots of dirt track bodied slot cars, and would like to build some more. Pretty big ideas to play with cars designed for 8 year olds. Humidity is hard on this stuff, so the tracks and cars you have may be in rough shape. Mice may have not liked chewing on the stuff at least.

Be real careful how you use a slab door. I just got a price on a slab replacement front door, insulated with one glass, special size. $534 + tax.

I have thought about building up a racetrack on a sheet of plywood that would lay on the pool table. Have no idea where to start though as there are so many options. Probably won't be this winter by the time the bathroom is finished and pay for my new rifle I was just notified was in.
