SlotsNZ Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Attention all. Before someone makes a movie about us called "once were slot racers" If any of you with a working track would like to kick it into life on Thursday evening, I have a guy coming across from Stratford who would rather like to turn laps with some of the brotherhood of the east coast. I'll supply the hot savouries if someone can supply the electrons.

charlesx Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hi Mark. Somebody from Stratford. That sounds interesting. Do not know of any slotties in Stratford although we have one in Hawera who raced with frequently until recently. Please let him know we are alive and well.

Capri-corn7 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I’m with JK, heating and brownies sounds like a very good bribe. Any thoughts on classes, or do you have some nice house classes Pedro? Hmmm maybe... a thunderslots class... a JPS class... ?!? Quote They are only toys .... until you pull the trigger.

SlotsNZ Posted July 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Guys, this track is up for sale on Trade Me. It belonged to Grant, he sold it and started his digital one about a year before he died. I've been out to see it this afternoon, It has some water damage, which would be fixable by ripping up the rest of the braid, sanding the whole thing with a belt sander, - which would also get rid of his braid having been set below the track surface of 1/2 a mm. then repainting. Upsides are, it looks like they will toss in the cars with it, the controllers and power supply are included. The controllers look to be okay - Parmas, I forgot to check the impedance, but THINK I sold Grant 25s for it. They have offered me a Buy Now of $200 and will trailer it to site for us. I just don't have time. It would be lovely if it could have a new life with someone associated with club.
