Kind of bummed about the news that I received yesterday. Downforce Hobbies, the main location that I use for my Slot Car racing hobby has closed.
They posted this on thier facebook page, the link below should take you to thier page.

Nascar Racing down at Downforce Hobbies
Wednesday, March 2, 2011
Tonight I headed down to Downforce Hobbies in Mesa, they are starting to run Nascar Style body racing on the big track on Wednesday evenings. Since this was my first time racing on this track I showed up a little early and got some practice time in. After some help with replacing my gears from Downforce on my car, I was able to keep on the track with improved lap times.
My friend Dean from over at Wolfpack Racing showed up to also run the Nascar event. In the picture above, my car is the one in the center, yellow with orange trim, and Dean's car is blue car on the right. They ran two classes, Pro and Non-Pro, Dean and myself were entered into the Non-Pro division with one other racer, and there was three Pro division drivers. Overall I placed second in my class and fifth overall, Dean placed first, and also placed third overall beating one of the Pro drivers.
I think I will enjoy racing this class, and with a lot more practice and getting some more races under my belt I believe I will be winning a few of these events in the future.
