Welcome to "TRUE-SCALE" RACING.
This is a new series dedicated to a more realistic looking model race car combinded with performance and handling all at a measured cost level. Our focus is to hopefully provide an enviroment where modeling skills and performence slot racing play more equal roles. Good close racing always makes for a fun event. Using a limited spec set of rules also helps to keep costs down and the fun level high.
Good luck and good racing to all that dare to enter the world of "TRUE-SCALE" RACING!......
