These 1/24th scale Carrera cars are not just for home tracks. Tons of fun for you hard body highway racers. This issue, #229 covers stories from March and April of this year including...

I have a new book finally finished. I have been working on it for about a year now. It is titled "HOW TO BUILD A SLOT CAR TRACK... The New American Way". Lots of tips and good pictures from the complete build of an 8 lane track while we were still living in Fort Worth, Texas. It is available in booklet printed form or hard cover PDF on a CD for $14.95. Or, both for $19.95. The pictures in the printed version are in full color and there is a good glossary with illustrations to help you understand it all clearly.
Already I know of two tracks under construction using my simple, easy to follow instructions. Look for more info on them in upcoming issues of SARN.... jf

Finally, I realize that with everything else going on, I forgot to mention that the DVD of the '08 NATS in Katy, Texas is finished and ready to go in it's hard cover case. One hour long and covers the Group 7 Qualifying, A & B Semi's and the main. Only $9.95 and you can order by email to me and paypal to johnford@slotmail.org Free shipping.

One of the things that keeps us going financially is the sale of English Bulldog puppies once or twice a year. We will have some new puppies ready to go about August. This is our BULLDOG WEBSITE ..... jf

Back in December of 2004 I started a working web log for slot racing. I called it the SLOT BLOG. Not an original idea, but at the time, at least the name was original. There are many slot forums out there worth your time, and my little blog has morphed into a place to read regular rants by me on the day to day operation of SARN and make comments if you wish. It is also a place for you to post info on the Hall of Fame project, post free classified ads, or if you wish, start a blog of your own. There is only one Original SLOT BLOG. It aint' the biggest, but it was FIRST and is home to the original Slot Car HALL OF FAME project. (Original Slot Blog link HERE.) (That Other Slot Blog link HERE.) Oh, and except for the name duplication, I totally approve of PDL's blog and post there on occasion as well. Other blogs I am known to frequent (OWH) (HRW) (SCI) (SF) I know there may be others. If I have left out your favorite, email me and let me know..... jf
