Agree..


You should of scene my family room. My dad and uncle set it up for 8 racers and going down the back wall, you couldn't use full power

The local slot car track banned a racer for using glue on his tires. Oops!

We used to have some nice public ones in Chicago/Milwaukee area back then..

I traded some kid a bullwhip for a car and control when I was a kid. Till his Mom found out.

All electric cars can be made lighter and faster

And then go home to be plugged into an outlet powered by natural gas or coal.

You could the take the prop off though and did what this legend did


OddBike: König 500 GP - Outboard-Powered Underdog

Kim Newcombe and his Konig Grand Prix bike

Once in a generation there emerges a racing prodigy who defies belief and achieves success far beyond the odds. These men and women display innate and remarkable talent that is often so extraordinary that they become legends in their own time. They are the mythical “naturals”, those who perform complex tasks extraordinarily well despite their lack of experience. New Zealand motorcycle racer Kim Newcombe was one such prodigy, and one of the most tantalizing “what ifs” of motorcycle racing. He entered competition as a novice and immediately began to beat seasoned veterans. Not only that, but he single-handedly crafted and maintained his own machine – which he then campaigned successfully at the top level of the sport against the greatest riders of the 1970s. The tale of Kim and his Konig 500 GP motorbike is a true motorsports Cinderella story, and one of the most fascinating and tragic tales from the golden era of motorcycle road racing.


Kim Newcombe was born in Nelson, New Zealand in 1944 and grew up in Auckland, where he met the love of his life - Janeen. Married in their teens, Kim and Janeen moved to Australia in 1963 for two reasons – to be closer to Janeen’s mother, and to pursue Kim’s love of motorcycle racing.
