Retro Series Race Held at North East Slotcar Raceway

If you’re a man of a certain age, you remember slot cars, but you might have thought they disappeared years ago. Not so! They’re still around and coming back. Here in North East, there’s a track, North East Slotcar Raceway, with regular racing each week and they just hosted a Penn-Ohio Retro Series race with lots of action.

I remember tracks in this area from many years ago, but when I saw the notice for this race, I thought I would stop in to see what the current cars were like. In a word, fast! The controllers have come a long way, too. Computers do the timing and keep track of lap count, it’s much higher tech than when I last took part, but it’s the same racing action as before.

If you would like to see what it’s all about, you can stop by the track and rent a car and controller. They’ll even host a private event for scouts and other youth groups. Hey, you can’t know if you’ll like it until you give it a try so, head on over and ask for Lester. He’ll set you up. They’re located at 15 East Main Street, Suite 202, on the second floor.

We Support Real Elections

"... one man, one vote, in person, on Election Day, in public, with ironclad voter identification. Absentee ballots should be limited to overseas military personnel only; if you’re out of town or even the country, that’s your choice. There should be no “ballot curing,” drop-off votes, early votes, or judge-mandated late votes."
