Wow, what a weekend. Thank you so much for joining me on my Slot.it Group C Nationals journey. I wanted to produce more content leading up to the Race, but we were so busy preparing the slot cars that the next video just ended up being the race itself!
The event took place at ‪@slotcarstore‬ in El Segundo, California between August 10-13, 2023. With 72 entries, the race was one of the biggest 1/32 scale slot car races in the USA in recent history, and was an incredible turnout from racers from all over the country.
Maurizio Ferrari, Slot.it CEO, was present, as well as incredible KZfaqr ‪@thatslotcarguy‬ from Australia! Both did incredibly, and you should absolutely subscribe to both ‪@slotitandpolicarofficial9687‬ and Travis (that slot car guy) for great content.
The race was on a routed wooden purpose built 6 lane 93 foot long slot car track built by world renowned builder Gary Gerding. You can find the rules for the event on the Electric Dreams website here: www.electricdreams.com.
I can't thank everyone enough for an incredible weekend of fun, awesome weather, and incredible food and company. My hope with this video is that it conveys just a smidge of the fun that we all had, and that SLOT CARS ARE BACK!
Anyone looking to race competitive 1/24 or 1/32 slot cars, look no further than this race! It will happen again next year in August of 2024, and entries are limited, so be sure to earmark your calendar!
The next episode will uncover the slot car tuning techniques used to build the winning car, and actually 4 of the top 6 finishers utilized the same building methods to achieve fantastic results. Stay tuned, and subscribe, to not miss out on that one!
Thank you again, and can't wait to see you at the Track!
PS: I know the audio is a little blown out - Will improve for the next one!
