It seems Mid-America has taken the baton and is producing many of the popular and no longer available PARMA items. Most recent being a really nice clone of the 4.5" FCR chassis.

So sad to hear this. He was one of the first slot car legends I heard about as a kid. Was told to put some "Cukras Slop" in my front axle. Though we mispronounced his name. Then I read about his...
Would the black COX gears do? If it is for racing they won't hold up but for shelf Queens they'll be fine.
RIP John.
Save a pit spot for me.
Got home and bought the Pay-Per -View. Got Larry McReynolds announcing and Alex Bowman driving one of the Crown Vics.

Against the wall is the most space efficient. Free standing splits the room in half. Just have padding on the wall for the last 50% of the track.
Slots-A-Lot has it against the wall. A little...
Sadly the popular NASCAR bodies out there are mostly BLOB-CAR. They don't resemble an actual car in any way at all. The older 4.5" wb Parma bodies were the most "real" looking. I may have a few. I'll...
I'm told the braid lasts a lot longer too. This would offset the slight premium in cost. The added participation of the plastic car crowd would be a welcome addition of income. Plus rental cars could...
The rebuilding has begun. With some networking they are getting a ton more done then they anticipated. Can't wait to see it done.

Where is this track going?
Well, until he gets the track up and running for weekly Saturday night racing, he's going to do an IROC style 100 lap race with Crown Vics. To spice it up they're adding nitrous. Drivers are Cleetus'...
A million views in 2 days. This driftin' thing ain't my bag but he's getting eyeballs on the Freedom Factory. When he gets the oval open for weekly racing, he should have no problem packing the...
I chose a Kingleman but I would have picked "King, light banking" if given the choice. Heavily banked Kings, known as speed bowls, are my least favorite. Initially they were built to compete in a...
Yeah, race promoters don't have a very good reputation. If they say "believe me" a lot, good chance they're lying through their teeth. When a person has a reputation of pretty much lying whenever...
It's a 1/3 mile. Not sure but I think 3 guys are in on it. Garrett Mitchell, aka Cleetus McFarland keeps saying "Us" and "We" so I'm assuming it's a three way partnership with his friends James and...
These guys are living the American dream. YouTube star, Cleetus McFarland has purchased Desoto Speedway in Bradenton FL. Abandoned for 2 years, Cleetus and team have begun the resurrection of a great...
If all you want is one of John's beautiful hand crafted H-12 armatures, well here you go. . ....
How are the drinks? :lol:
A date for a D-3 Jail Door race at B-A-R is being discussed. If you don't already have a car the rules are here: http://irraslotracing.com/id55.html JK has a replacement motor, JKMB. Watch this...

No Mike. He does what he does for the love of the hobby and sport. Not so much for profit. So I don't know if my promotion fees are in his budget.
Sometimes his custom built 26-Ds and 36-Ds go...
You guys should have John Havlicek wind you some custom H-12 arms. For testing and research only of course. They are not USRA approved but that doesn't stop anyone from running them for other...
Good luck. I've been scouring ebay for one for years. Nothing. Last time someone put one up for sale on the other blog it was snatched up in minutes. I would have thought these would become plentiful...
If the shirt is meant to promote the hobby it should have the one feature I feel sparks the memory of anyone who has ever raced on a commercial track. The depiction of the slot with the colored...
There was a guy on Ebay who did retro Ts with vintage names like COX, Russkit , etc. I didn't buy one.
Maybe someone will design a shirt that promotes the hobby in general and then tracks order...
