Thanks,
I have more, but the pictures are on the lap top, I'll go fish them out.
What happened to the cars your Dad made?

You can see my Demon sitting behind the RR in the last picture
 
Awesome stuff guys. Thanks for the complements on mine and my Grandpas collections. It has been fun growing up around all that stuff. My Cousin (in the pics) is 10 and is a pretty good racer. Still has a little learning. But I bet he could whoop allot of people three times his age. I like the HO stuff allot more than the 1/32 scale stuff. I may sell or trade all of my 1/32 stuff for HO stuff. If anyone is interested. Let me know.

Thanks again for the pics guys, and lets keep them coming. :)

My father gave them to me a few years ago, along with some 1/32 scale cars from the 60's and a bunch of HO cars.
 
It's a blast watching some of the younger generation whipp the older guys.
The track record holder is a 14 yr old, most of the other racers are 30- 40+.

You guys have some nice cars, I wish I hadn't let the kids play with and break a bunch of my HO's, Like the woody, Tank and Top fuel Dragster. along with the rest of them, at least 20.
 
Here's a couple of HO slot car conversions done with a couple of Johnny Lightning slot cars. I scratch built the AAR Cuda hood scoop and also made the front and rear spoilers. I made the front spoiler on the Challenger. I can't remember who made the decals.

Is that a Scalextric track that your running on? I have one of the Carrera tracks for the house.
What does the layout look like?
 
I will try to get pics of the real good stuff this weekend. My Grandpa has made several customs. He has turned some into 4x4's. He has made bodies, and several other things. He has a Big Ryder set too that has never been set up. Theres SOOO much more that is not in the pics.

I agree. It's fun watching the younguns beat on the old guys. I have taught my cousin allot about racing. I am the oldest grandchild and have spent many many hours out there since before I can remember.

The custom stuff is always the funnest to see. Its all one off.
 
Here are pics of the two sets that I have in their box as well as the extra white track with bank curve.

I've got a few Eldon sets. Never was wild about the track though. I run some of the cars on the modern track but you gotta be careful not to burn the motors out.
 
Carrera Road Runner body. Stripped off the original paint and repainted lime green with black roof, and mounted on Scalextric chassis.
