The best tiers for my track is Quick Slicks CB57S. However they do not make the soft compound anymore and there isn’t any dealer in EU. Therefore I decided to make my own.
I have made several molds and testet a lot of silicone compounds and is now satisfied. They fit perfectly to my GT 40’s and the grib is excellent.

New lab record – just in time!
I had proclaimed that I would not light the Christmas tree until the lab time came below 4.000 sec. and thank God it is now 3.927!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Back on the track
My track has been stored away for nearly 3 years now, but after a bit of cleaning and a test of each section, it’s now up and running.
I have planned to make some modifications of the small weak build-in Scalextric actuators, more of that later but until then I’ll have some fun 🙂
Winter break
Winter is approaching in Denmark, the temperatur is dropping and it’s time to put away my track until spring 🙁
But no need to feel sorry for me, there are lots of projects and racing in sight. I have plans of making my own 1:32 slot car, much more about that in the future.
I’m now a member of a local slot car club, were we race 1:24 Scaleauto on a analog wooden track once a week. To have something to compete with, I have painted my first 1:24 white kit a Dodge Viper in Gulf livery – what else 🙂
Nail polish
Today, after applying 3 layers of nail polish on the front tiers, I got a new lab record – 4.085 seconds.
Now the new goal is a time below 4 seconds – it MUST be possible 🙂
Back on track
It’s now autumn and my track is at last put together again. I celebrated that with a new lap record at 4.144 second.
CH07 guide from Slot.it
Here is my Porsche 911 GT3 EVO in action with the new CH07 guide. If it’s the increased debt, length or a combination of CH07 I don’t know but it’s much more stabile now.
Urethane prep
After several days with lots of activity, there is now a clear tire trace on the track.
Perhaps that’s the reason for the new lab record of 4,850 seconds.
Until next session I’ll cross fingers for dry weather 🙂
Dusk Buster Cloth
From my local paint shop, I have bought some dustbinding cloth containing resin. I wipe the track and clean the tiers with it – the effect is remarkable! Just store the cloth in an airtight plastic bag.
New lab record
Finally my new Slot.it Ford GT #11 has done it! The old lab record 5.196 sek. has been beaten, it’s now 4.895 sek.
I think it maybe will drop further down in near future 🙂
