Welcome to Trackside Models "How-To" Section

Updated: Mar 20

Over the years I have shared many tips and tricks how to build realistic looking details for your slot car track on my Facebook page Chicago River North Raceway. But over time those posts get buried and seem to disappear. So here you go...The "How-To" blog!


In the blog I plan to share a lot of tips and tricks I've learned to help other racers and track builders create their own miniature world of slot car racing. Please feel free to comment or mention things you would like to see that aren't posted.
