The Front Range HO slot car racing club (FRHO) is unique. All
of our races are held on professional quality, custom made tracks.
The tracks are routed from large pieces of plastic, resulting in
very smooth, fast tracks.
Additionally, the FRHO group has at least one type of track
from all of the major track makers - Wizzard High Performance;
Brystal tracks; Dunlap tracks; Bowman tracks; MaxTrack. And, each
track uses a different layout/design. This adds variety to the
Club's racing.
Most HO scale slot car clubs hold a majority of their races
on tracks that are made from "snap together" sectional tracks.
Examples of these type of tracks are: Aurora Model Motoring, AFX,
Tomy, Tyco, and LifeLike. These tracks are the type that are
available at the local hobby stores.
These sectional tracks are made from hard plastic and are
less than 15 inches in length. While using these readily available
tracks allow for unique tracks, the small track pieces results in
an increased number track joints. This usually equates to a rougher
track. Thus, the reason the FRHO club uses the professional quality
tracks. A better quality track equates to a better racing
experience.
