Update on Everson Dirt Cars.
I was over at the shop the other day, and saw the brand new track components.
Everything looks really nice. The new track is 4'x8'.. which also means the sheet of copper had to be that big.
Dave will be spending the next month or so getting the new track together.. 1400 individual magnets have to be put into place and the copper laminated to the base.. along with the electronics that will allow lane changes, and multiple cars to run independently.. on the same lane even!.
In speaking with Dave, I think the Everson Dirt Cars setup will be more suited for places that purchase the track (like slotcar raceways), and racers come on race nights with their individual cars to race against others.
The cost and size of the track will likely keep it just out of reach of your average home racer. The cost of the cars, although, will be very affordable (like most large scale slot cars).
I've had the joy of racing them on the test track many times, and can't describe how addicting they are.. simply put.. slot cars pale in comparison.
