  • Here is a look at our trip to test and tune on our first wooden track. We were invited to check out a beautiful wooden track near Oxford, OH owned by Butch Dunaway. It was a fantastic day full of fast laps, some big crashes and we learned a great deal about the differences in wood tracks vs. plastic tracks. Welcome to a day in the life of a slot car geek...

      It is a fantastic track! You can't go wrong with the Revoslots.. fun cars, easy to tune and you can really throw them around the track.

    All around fantastic day. The track was intimidating at first but we settled in pretty quick. Great time trying to figure out a different layout and just all around different style of driving on a wood track. Really enjoyed spending time catching up with the guys and meeting new friends. Butch did an amazing job building this track
