Slotcar Fury is a night of drinking, driving and good old fashioned fun, in the form of racing HO or 1/24th scale slotcars. We set up AFX and Tyco brand tracks in various locations around The Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, usually in a gallery or loft setting.
HO scale slotcars are about the same size as your common Hot Wheel or Matchbox car. the difference being that they have electric motors and are a lot more fun! They run on an track equipped with 2 metal stripes which give power to the car. The car has a metal pin between the front wheels which fits into a slot that runs between the 2 metal strips. Magnets in the car's chassis hold the car to the metal strips so it doesn't fly off the track.
The driver propels the car by pulling the trigger on the pistol-like controller. The trick is to apply just the right amount of speed to propel the car but not so much that it flys off the track in the corners.
