Slot Car Addicts of North Carolina (SCANC)

[sacesta]

Slot Car Addicts of North Carolina (SCANC) has a loose "membership" of a half dozen guys and 5 privately owned 1/32 scale routed mdf tracks. Four of the tracks are right here in Winston-Salem only minutes apart. The newest, SlotZuka, will accommodate both 1/32 and 1/24 scale cars. The other track is less than an hours' drive from Winston-Salem.

There are no dues and we welcome all racers.

Lately, we've been racing regularly at SlotZuka on Wednesday nights. And we can usually muster at least 3 racers on short notice to accommodate visiting racers. PM ahead of your arrival to confirm and schedule.

great looking tracks

As a former HO scale racer I am pleased to see an active group.
Many years ago I was part of a club in Jacksonville FL that raced weekly and had an annual 24 race.
as well as several enduros through out the year. We had 2 tracks both appx 60 ft one complete with scenery and lighted for night racing. We raced Tjets - mostly modified with brass pans, silicone tires, cut down chassis etc. Will see if I can find some pictures.

That's AWSOME --all the cool tracks you guys have to run on!! Very cool!! Dennis Samson and I have tracks here in Southern Calif--the Pebblestone and the Hillside Raceways-- but you guys have more variety!! NICE!!!

[sacesta]

Danny,
I'm having the guys over to my track tonight. No competition just some fun running. My timing system has been fouling up but I'm tearing the track down soon to rebuild it. The new track will be a facsimile of Laguna Seca distorted to fit my space.
Here's the thread with pics:

Hi SCENC !! I just had to post a welcome from the ALABAMA SLOTCAR RACERS (ASR) as Scytruckin (Scott) has been visiting with us over the past couple of weeks to race on Thursday nights. Southernslotter (LLSSR..."the Atlanta Gang") and I are trying to organize a 'Bama/Georgia/North Carolina SHoot-Out in the spring of 2012. More info later...

Awesome tracks guys!! I can't wait to see Laguna Trace join in the fun. As they say, "keep the rubber side down"

KIITS,
Lawrence

[dhamby123]

I had a really great time at robs track today . reminds me of the good ole days when bob and i ran ho all around .. good racing but more or less friends hanging out . and to the guy who i got the tire from they work great on plastic . im gonna do my best to get out more but time is tight. thank you all for having me . and thanks to steve for loaning me the cars to race today . im on a search for some slot-it cars and those ninco,s . could one of you all list what ninco cars are legal for the jtc class you all run .. thanks . and laso the slot it c .. very interested in those two classes thanks ..

[ornery]

Lots of fun today. Yes, I would also like to see what is legal in the Ninco JGTC class too. Those cars worked well and I really enjoyed them. Might have to pick up a couple more.
Glad to hear the tires worked well on the plastic Danny. I need to make some more.

What classes did we finally decide on for next year?

Slot-it Group C
Slot-it Classic
Ninco JGTC
Trans-am - was it open or tires, gears or did we ever finish the conversation???

Matt

[sacesta]

Danny - legal Ninco JGTC cars are:

Honda NSX
Toyota Supra
Nissan 350Z
Lexus 430SC
Mosler MT900
Ford GT (the modern iteration)
McLaren F1 GTR
Ascari KZ1

Did I miss one?

Matt,

I think we decided on:

Slot.It Group C
Slot.It Classic
Ninco JGTC
NSR GT and
Trans Am Open - I think we decided no limitations except that the chassis must be original - so tires, wheels, gears, axles, bushings, motors are all upgradeable. Maybe Scott wants to draw up some regs to clarify?

Great time yesterday! I especially enjoyed the encore! I'm glad you guys could make it!

Steve

[dhamby123]

[sacesta]
