Hi Rick:
Good to see a Canadian Forum starting up! Not many of us Canucks around but we sure let people know we are here.
My story is similar to many others. Raced Strombecker as a kid. Did lots of scale models. Packed up the track by high school. University, jobs, travel and kids kept me away until 2001. Got a look at some modern slot cars at a hobby show in Europe. Came back to Canada, bought a swack of HO. Got tired of blur racing. Dug 72 feet of Stromie track out of my parent's shed and never looked back. I've built a few wood tracks after a look at Luf's work and still have a hundred feet of Carrera for outdoor racing. I love 1950-60's classic cars, Mountain Bike, Hike and Kayak when I get the time.
Cheers,
Brad
