Train Races at Varney are chaotic enough. How do these things make it around Delaware where they can get up some speed! I've never senn one of these at Delaware. Any tales from the pat to share?

Put it this way: Last time there were train races, the fronstretch pit road was just a fantasy. So the trains had to do one lap of the whole track, then a short lap coming in the backchute pit entrance and out the front. Then another full lap etc. (they'd have the turn 3-4 end of the pits well cleared out before they started)

No little sewing machine motored cars either. Nothing but old Montes, LTDs, and big old station wagons. Pretty nuts, but fun. They didn't pick up a crazy amount of speed because only the first car was even permitted to contain an engine...and towing 2 other great big cars.

Once they built up a head of steam though...look out.

I'm ecstatic that we're doing these again. We invented that ball but Varney was the one that ran with it. Hope it works out.

109 donates itself for the middle car. It's so light, we just need power, and a final car. How can you not want to do this??!!
