You assemble the car using parts and dimensions allowed in the rules. There’s many ways to set up the car to handle better, run faster, and be durable enough to finish. An electronic controller is used to drive the car. Then you run as fast as you can without coming off the track. Each lane has different radius turns and sight lines. In a race you run all 8 lanes and the finishing order is determined by the total laps run.

@@user-ks5jl8kr7h ahhhh okay, makes a lot more sense now 😂…. I appreciate you taking the time to fill me in!

Even though there is no steering control, the concepts of under- and over-steer interestingly apply. Careful tuning and driving are required. Good drivers with well tuned cars make it look easier than it is.

We missed you.

The turn under the bridge is a killer.

We ran on a track like this in Martins Ferry, Ohio in the late 60s. It was laid out the other way, banking to the right, but the same shape. Never saw another like it.

@bobcatly7703 what you are describing is a reverse Orange. There was one in Lakeland until recently. It was a great track.

The orange track I raced on a lot as a teen had a chicane before the last turn and a dip in the track right after that turn.

@@jimwood223 You wouldn’t happen to have any pictures of it, would you?

That's exactly how it's done.

Yes, we rotate through each lane but don't let looks fool you. Each lane veries only inches apart in length because of the design. If you have as many left turns as right turns they balance out. When you have more turns or longer turns it can be balanced out with a donut turn etc.

If you ever come to Central Florida bring your car and run it.

Yes, that is where we got it. We are enjoying it also.

Come on down and run with us.

We are just learning this track and also getting the track tuned. It will get better and so will we. Give us time and maybe you will find enjoyment in viewing our races.

Mostly us old guys race. The teens have too many way to divide their time and young adults have too many responsibilities.

You should! We have people come from further away than Tampa. Come over and have some fun.

I had vertigo a couple of months ago and my ent Dr. reset me and I have been clear since then. He also showed me how to reset myself. Google vertigo reset exercises.

It is my favorite.

Thanks ✌️

Sorry about being slow to respond I am just figuring things out. We look forward to having you back.

Sorry for the late reply, I just now learned how to get messages. We are in Avon Park Fl.

I would love to see what you have.

The cars need a little tuning to be this fast. A flat chassis is a good start.

It is just as competitive and maybe a little faster.

Seg is short for segment or heat so that give ranking in the heat and how many completed laps for the heat.

@@jimwood223 ah ok good, thank you

We are at 1079 Memorial Drive, Avon Park Fl

I enjoyed it. Thanks for coming.

Thanks for coming, we had a great time sharing the hobby with you. Come back soon.

If you ever get close to Central Florida come and see us. We are on fb at Sebring Slot Cars Llc.

Yeah!! We like that.

We ran a Jr division trying to grow the hobby.The yellow flags were excessive but that was the call I made on that day to try to get them going. The men were real good about encouraging the boys.

@@jimwood223 Ok, that makes sense. What ever you can do to help grow the hobby is great.
