2020 Grand Prix de Concord

The AWRA Grand Prix WOMPS are coming to Concord! 

If you have raced the Grand Prix cars in Marietta, Georgia, or in Cleveland, Tennessee, then you know that they are a blast to drive. They are quick, and they actually handle well. The flat track at The Slot Car Track in Concord, North Carolina will be a perfect venue for the Grand Prix WOMPS.

So, just what is a Grand Prix WOMP? Essentially, it is an AWRA Stock Car chassis with an open-wheel body. 

Bracing is allowed in this class, as well as all of the mods allowed in the Stock Car class. The Grand Prix bodies provide a lot of down-force, and the cars do actually handle, and they are pretty peppy, too. 

Make sure to check the AWRA rules at awrawomp.com or at the AWRA Rules Facebook page to make sure that your body is legal. You can get bodies at The Slot Car Track. 

Also on the program for November 7th is the Concord 500 Stock Car race on the Oval and the Outlaw legends on the King Cobra. 

For information, contact the AWRA at awrainfo@yahoo.com

New GTP Body Now Available From Ralph Thorne Racing


Strong and ready for battle the "Viking" GTP body is based on our very successful Renegade body platform with a few small but very effective changes. Most noticeably we've narrowed the body to 83 mm wide which reduces overall drag, increases straight-line speed, and makes the body easier to mount. 


The height and side profile of the body remains the same but the front fenders have been lowered in the middle which continues to lower the drag and it also allowed us to create a second vertical service inside the body to create side force and keep the nose plated in cornering. The reshaping of the front fender has provided us a much stronger front end, and it is much more resistant to crash damage. Our body team, once again, knocked it out of the park with new and unique ideas and features not typically seen on slot car bodies which continues to keep us ahead of the curve! Made in the USA, and we ship worldwide!


Once again this is an original copyrighted design from Ralph Thorne Racing with all rights reserved. We don't back pour or copy any other manufacturers' designs.

They are available in .005", .007" and .010" thick Lexan. Each body with a proper fitting window mask, a pair of front wheel stickers. 

Please note that we start from .005", .007" and 010" material, so it will be thinner on the sides. As always we strive for quality pulls with even side thickness. 

Retail price for .005" and .007" is $6.95 each plus shipping.

Retail price for .010" is $7.95 each plus shipping.

Raceway pricing is available and ERI will have these in stock. Please allow them a few days to get them in their system.

Available here now: http://ralphthorneracing.com

Please note the bodies will only come in retail packaging when purchased by a raceway or if specifically requested on direct orders.

Upstate Speedway needs our help

Upstate Speedway needs our help. This is veteran-owned slot car racing and entertainment business. They have multiple tracks and a drag strip.

They have been working diligently to get the tracks ready to run but have encountered problems with wiring and lap counters. Unfortunately no local track building talent is available in their area.

Gary Gerding has offered to help them get their tracks "ship shape" so that they can open to the public and have races. The owner is asking the slot car racing community for donations to cover Gary's expenses. I am sure that Gary is giving them a deal since his estimate for services seems cheap.

Even though Upstate may not be "near" you, won't you please consider donating so we can have another world-class raceway open for business here in the U.S.A. ?

Please direct questions by messenger to the Upstate Raceway FB page.

I am starting off the project by donating $100 from Project X Slot Car Racing products.
