Drag Races At Work
Long story short, our shop hosts a monthly free event that entertains 30 - 50 poeple for 2+ hours. This month nearly every band cancelled leaving us wondering how to entertain a bunch of random adults for a handful of hours. Well, it just so happens that the shop has been dabbling in diecast racing and a new timing system from Slanman Customs happend to be delivered the day before said show. Since ordering the DTS-2 I've been collecting and not opening cars which means not only do we have a ramp and timer but a large amount of new cars to race. We did have two solo musicians that played while some watched and some raced. I gotta show my love to everyone who's taken time to share their diecast racing knowledge as it has been how our shop has found a new hobby and now were pondering a local league / club. THANKS!! Please enjoy a few pics of the aftermath.
And for whatever reason these five cars were never opened. Someone even opened and raced the coup clip.

- Its a two man operation and much like diecast racing its been a wild ride. We have an annual New Years Parts and we're breaking out the track again. We just need to come up with a name and paint a few cars. — s_p_kranzor
Awesome! That's how it starts, man...simple setup, some friends, and some cars. Love the couch + games too. Wish I could find some old small screen CRTs like you got there.
- I'm really hoping to get some local interest and start some kind of league. Probably more of a fantasy, but you never know unless you try. The couch area acted as a great pit lane. CRTs are still around, keep an eye out and you will find one. — s_p_kranzor
- pm me, I have some ideas, does anyone play gaslands? — dr_dodge
Fantastic, that’s a great story. Hot Wheels and beer.
