Slot Car Track Layouts for Pace Car Racing


Hafa Adai Slot Car Friends!

Just thought I'd share a few of my more successful pace car layouts for home racing that I've created.  These layouts are great for pace car racing.  There are no R-1 curves, so car speed can be set at competitive levels.  These layouts will also increase your skill level tremendously.  It's like in music, particularly drumming.  If you practice every day with a metronome, you will not only increase speed, but agility and smoothness also, this is where effectiveness comes in.  These pace car tracks will do just that.

What I do is I take one of my more sticky cars, that hug the track like none other.  Personally, I like the Slot.it cars for this.  I set the pace car settings as fast as possible without deslotting, then I get one of my favorite and more competitive hopped up magless, or even magneted cars, and race against the pace car.  Many times the pace car will be set too fast, so I adjust it down to a more competitive level with the car I'm practicing with.  As my skill level increases, I increase the pace car speed.gradually..  You'll be amazed at the results when racing in an event; your lap times will increase incredibly!  Have fun!
