Back in the 60s, the 1/24 scale slot cars became quite popular at the family fun centers. shortly thereafter a group of individual such as myself began making our own cars, chassis and winding our own motors and the brought the hobby to complete other level. At 14 years old, I was sponsored by two New Jersey raceways to travel around the state and best of the best of the best where I went. I remember those days as fondly as any days I remember… I toured New England and even had an opportunity to bring my gear to California. I was really damn good at it if I do say so myself.

I raced and built the 1/24 slot cars. 4 classes, group 12, 15 , 20 and 7. 12 was the slowest and the group I raced in. Just local for free track time and sometimes gift certificates.

The place I went to was in Westmont, NJ (south jersey) They had 3 1/24 tracks, a Drag strip and an Ho track.

Years later I found a place in Burlington when my youngest daughter was about 10. She I would have a blast racing each other. Now she has all my old cars.

Up and at 'em again at 5.am - but the homestead is all quite - and nary a sound to be heard - except for foxes screaming like babies 👶 - birds 🐦 twittering - and the odd vehicle passing outside on the roads - a good time to dump last years used compost in the garden surrounding our humble abode -

- Some kind ICMAG member offered me a couch to surf on in Barcelona - during the week of the ICMAG 4/20 Growers and Breeders Cup - this coming April yesterday - so all I need to get now - is a return flight ticket from London Heathrow Airport 🛫 - and I'm good to go - (Thanks to member @Chevy cHaze ) - so I won't be alone - in a 3 bed apartment with toking balcony - in the port area of the city 😀 for the duration -

Sounds like a good time. I've never been to Europe or the UK. But I think that might change.

Mrs K really loves her tea and she's up for a trip to the UK just to visit a proper english tea house. Looking at sometime next year.

Any suggestions on the best time to visit weather wise?

As we all know - you can never depend on the weather to be what you might like it to be - but generally during July/August the UK is warm and often sunny 🌞 - and if you do visit the UK - be sure to let me know - then we can hook up for a toke or two 😉
