The NJ Metro Slotcar Club was formed to provide a race environment where fun and competition can peacefully coexist within a structure designed to keep things fair.  We primarily race 1/32nd scale cars, but also run 1/24, and potentially other scales as well. The intent is for the majority of series races to be closer to stock, with specific documented modifications allowed to correct club-determined manufacturing defects. More emphasis will be on driving cars similar in performance, than trying to out-build or out-spend each other to gain a performance edge. Other classes will be run offering a balance of tuning creativity for performance, and low cost.  We are building a racing culture where such tuning creativity as well as driving technique is openly shared among members, with the objective of all individuals in the group becoming more knowledgeable about maintaining and increasing the performance of their cars, as well as becoming better drivers, and having fun with this hobby.
