Haven't seen this mentioned before and have only just remembered it. A little test for slotters from years gone was the "pencil" test. I expect it would still work fine today as a gauge for the reflexes of a slotter. ( Betting young McLaren can do it)
The idea is to have someone else hold a pencil horizontally between both their left and right index finger tips. Then, you can hold your hand over the pencil, as close as you like, but not touch the pencil and not cup your fingers around or under it as to prevent it falling to the floor.
As the person releases the pencil at will, you must grab it before it hits the floor!.
Just a simple test for those who think their slot car is to blame for crashing alot.;
Very few can do it, when you find someone who can, you can bet he's the sort of chap who rarely glares at his car for having an accident.
Try it. Just remember to mention it when you complain about your crashy new car.
