One nice Camaro!

Here's a Camaro slot car I had to pass along...German scratchbuilder Marco Brandt offers this car in 1:32 scale at his shop www.shop4slot.de for 150 Euro...what a wonderful model! Rusty dents and all, this is about the coolest Camaro slot car I've seen.

GPR-East New York Raceday

10:25am East New York Raceway-Whiskerville, Connecticut, USA-The track is quiet. On the start line the first cars of the day are already lined up hours ahead of the 12pm EST start time.

A few crews are out inspecting the road surface. The rollers have been brought out to smooth the copper tape and a track official is keeping back the eager media who've gathered for "track prep" photos.

...more updates soon.

Global Proxy Race coverage

For today's last race at the East New York Raceway there will be updated coverage throughout the day. I'll post photos, news and lap times as I can. Look for complete coverage also on Slot Car Illustrated in the Global Proxy Race forum. And looks for more photos in the Global Proxy Race gallery.
