 This Is The  History of our Slot Car Drag Racing

A few years ago Alfred built a 1/43 Drag strip to scale 1/8 mile strip. Everything about the track is built and scaled down from the 1/1 drag racing. All rules, race procedures, and points awarding are all done like the 1/1 racing. Originally the timing system was built from stop watches but was later changed to DS racing products. When Alfred built all the photo sensors for the win lights and staging he did not have a clue what to do. But having Drag raced for over thirty years he knew how everything was suppose to work. With several trips to the local Radio Shack and researching data from the internet he began to build and burn up parts until the track was working perfectly. He would tell you that he is no electrical genius but because of the desire to try, and being taught that one can do anything if they try; Alfred did just that and his trying was rewarded with a track that has been working for the last seven years.  

Alfred has five classes that he runs at his track, which are named after the IHRA sanction body. The four heads up bracket classes are Hot Rod (1.50 index) Super Rod (1.25 index) Quick Rod (1.00 index) Top Sportsman (.0750 index)  We also have Pro Mod quick eight which is a open rules on motor size and weight . The cars are to be door slammer style cars and must look the part, and must meet the general rules of the track.  All competitors have to qualify for a 8 car field.

We are proud to announce that two of SIDE's original bodies were selected as the spec body to be raced for the HRW Dirt Car Series beginning in February. 

 

 

Below are some pictures of one of SIDE's latest creations. Of course you will recognize these cars. The latest one is on the left and is  Frankie Taylor's new car and the one on the left is a replica of Doug Riesterer's old  car. The red one is a car that was built for one of our racers a while back, but we thought it has such a nice paint job that we would share it with you also.

We have to say, we do have the best body/chassis man in the nation!

No one can build a car like SIDE 1:43 or 1:1!

     

   

NOTICE: As of March 19, there will be a $25.00 bounty on the first Top Dragster to run in the 40's. Time will only be official during qualifying and eliminations. Cars are to use Artin tires, gearing and Mini z or Radio Shack motor.

Below is proof of the authentic SIDE drag racing kick. Some of the spectators began to notice that every time SIDE races he has this little kick that he does. Never fails; he always has his kick on.  Could it be that this is what makes him so good at drag racing?

 

We have recently added a page for our racer's profiles.

Below are pictures of the new Dragster bodies I have built for the new Top Dragster Class that will replace the 10.5 Class. These cars will be more affordable and the competition will be tight. There is also a new Altered body that will run in the same category.
