 Al Penrose has been a
scratch builder of slot cars since 1959. Over the years he
has always made up the odd set of wheels for some car he was
making when the proper ones were not available or to his
liking. With the resurgence of 1/32 home set scale racing,
brought about by companies such as Fly and to a lesser
extent Ninco, he became more active in the commercial
aspects of the hobby including owning a raceway.
These beautiful new cars from Italy, Spain and the UK had one
major weakness, their often non-concentric plastic
wheels. Although some manufacturers such as the Italian
company Slot.it began to produce metal wheels, no company as
yet produced the high quality scale wheels that met Al's
critical standards and so BWA was born. http://www.bwaslotcars.com |

 Brent Carlson has had a life
long interest in electronics and when he took up the hobby of slot cars
his attention naturally gravitated to the electronic side of the hobby and
in particular timing interfaces and driver stations. Looking at light
bridges he saw that the heat could deform plastic track and be a fire
hazard as well so he worked to make something better. This resulted in
his own line of sensor tracks. http://slotcars.carlsoncomputers.com |

 Some enthusiast specialize in collecting,
others in scratch building but few, like my friend Rand specialize in
track design. Whether you wish to reproduce an existing track or fit a
particular space I'm sure he has a track design for you. Just in case
you don't find what you are looking for drop him
an email and he'll be more that glad to help you design one. Rand
concentrates on working with plastic track which is what most of us
still use. Please visit his web site at: http://UX5490.US |
