Welcome to the forum!
Where in Ireland are you based? I race with a small bunch of guys in Dublin and we are very keen to add some more slot car nuts to our group. At the moment all our tracks are 4 lane analogue.
Have a look at this part of the forum where I've posted a record of our race nights (every second Thursday): http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showforum=156
I'll be adding a report about our last meeting (last night!) over the weekend hopefully.

hi
regards your query about pbpro v the apb.I have been a pbpro + sh user for a couple of years now and have recently switched to the latter.
With the now announced power mod this puts the apb out in front as there are some features already out and more planned that pbpro can not handle.Plus the data transfer rates between the pb and pc for race software are approx 3 times faster with the apb.
The cost of modding a c7030 with sh mod is very near the price of apb.

Glad you like the reports! Hope to get the latest one up this weekend.
I started out with a digital Ninco set in 2007 but when I linked up with the crowd that I race with they all use 4 lane analogue tracks so that's what I went with as well. Also I went from collecting 1:18th diecast (most of which have now been sold) to slotcars, so I have a large collection of slots too and hence chipping them all would be prohibitively expensive.
My wife is from Cork (Bishopstown originally, and her folks live on Model Farm Rd) so I'm down there from time to time.
If you are up in Dublin anytime let me know and you can check out the tracks up here. If a bunch of you wanted to come up to Dublin to race some weekend then we could arrange a race day with the crowd I race with (they used to do something similar with a group in the North).
Always good to hear from another Irish slot enthusiast! We are a rare breed!

Hmmm!
Not sure what you are doing wrong there. I just clicked on the "Undefined" link and the photo loaded. So I left clicked on it, selected "copy image URL", pasted it into the "add image" box and hey presto!

Make sure you are copying the image tags from Photobucket that have "img" at either end.

Love the slot.it Alfa's and Ferrari 312PB! Looks like you have landscaped the track too which looks great!
My best friend's wife is from Youghal, but I haven't been there since their wedding in 2006. A good day out that was I have to say! I would definitely love to pay you a visit the next time I'm in Cork if you are around. Likewise you would be most welcome to visit my place in Dublin (I'm off the Sandyford Road, near the Dundrum shopping centre).
If you like send me a private message and I will send you back my gmail address which is a good way to contact me any time.
Good idea performance grouping the cars too, I get great satisfaction from doing just that myself! (The wife thinks I'm a nerd for some reason! LOL!)

A C7042 can be cheaper than the SH mod if you get a bargain off the online auction site.
Nice track from what we can see! Looking forward to you sorting how to post photos...

Looks great! I like the scenery around the sides of the track too. Yes indeed, I've love to pay you a visit next time I'm down in Cork with the in laws! A good excuse to get out for a while! And I think you will very much enjoy running your slot.it's on my wood track, they run great on it!
