The flag is down, and you're off to a flying start in the nation's fastest-growing hobby-sport- Strombecker Model Road Racing.
But beware!  Once the model road racing bug has bit you, you're with it for life.
Perhaps you've begun with a single car--ready built or kit.  Perhaps it's a complete Strombecker Model Road Racing set...fully rigged with a brace of cars, track and power pack.  You hold a tabletop road race and get a taste of real Grand Prix driving right in your own home.
Now Strombecker road racing really gets in your blood.  You join a model racing club...add new cars to your stable...soup them up...lengthen your track...deck it out with a lap counter and other accessories...match the Sebring or LeMans course in full scale.  Soon you can think of nothing but speed, speed and more speed.  You're barreling down the Strombecker straight-away, careening around hairpin turns...downshifting then pouring it on full blast toward the finish line.
Welcome to the fraternity.  You're one of the thousands of speed-loving Strombecker fans...and mighty happy about it, too.
You may wind up writing us, as so many do, telling about your Strombecker layout and sharing your road racing know-how with others.  Why note?  We get a big kick out of hearing from you.
