Hi Guys, Arriving Tuesday January 7:

From Tomy:

Finally, a top quality digital lap counter that snaps on to any current AFX track and counts every lap, every time! But there’s more. You get a 5 second countdown to the start of the race and it even penalizes drivers if they jump the start.

Racers pick how long they want the race to be, up to 99 laps, then push the start button and wait for the countdown. But don’t jump too soon or you’ll be penalized 1 lap!

Got 4 lanes to race on? No problem! With a second Lap Counter you can handle all 4 lanes. Just connect the two counters with the supplied cable and start racing. You can even select one unit to be the master and one the slave. And the displays can flip as you need to make it easy to see who’s in the lead and who needs to get going faster!

$42.99

AFX HO Scale Slot Car Racing GT40 Number 2 Sebring Collector’s Serries Slot Car (21006) $41.99

Hi Guys, HO race season is upon us (First race is Friday March 8) and there are a couple of new items available:

Silicone tires: I have been selling RTV silicone slip on tires in some two dozen sizes for over 30 years. One of the best selling tires are the .500 inch slip on tires for Aurora Hot Rods and Indy cars. Their high profile and excellent stick have made them great tires for top end speed, but didn’t help their handling much. Those same compound tires are now available in .468 which will provide better handling with the same great stick. ECHORR lower size limit is .460, so these should be ECHORR legal. $1.50 pair in black and limited colors.

New from Auto World: Due in Wednesday: Following up on their recent release of vintage and new Mountain Dew and Pepsi trucks are two different Richard Petty and Kendall trucks ($23.99 each)

Also in this week is the latest release of Auto World Thunderjets (see pics) $21.99 each

thunderjet Popular Mechanics chrome cars

The HO race schedule will be posted this week. Check the site, www.njhobby.net for listings. Something new this year is Beginners Month. The entire month of March will feature races which will be easy for the racer new to HO and fun for the seasoned race veteran. These races will feature cars which will require minimum tuning and should allow for the beginner to be fairly competitive. See you soon. Joe
