Description: this book tells you everything you need to know to set up a race track in your home for 1/32 scale or HO model racing cars. It describes all of the commercially available model racers and the track types you can buy. There is also mention of suppliers of chassis and bodies for the scratch builder. Disappointments include the lack of information about building your own track - not worth the bother today, according to Schleicher - and no description of any chassis that will fit models of older open-wheel cars with narrow bodies. A list of suppliers from all over the world, including Australia, and web site addresses of model racing sites will help the novice or reborn slot racer get (back) into the hobby and supply the missing information.
