Newbie Just Getting Started

RacerGnome Sunday, 8/3/2025

Hello,

I just wanted to introduce myself to you all, I just joined up.  I have been thinking about marble racing and/or die cast racing for about 6 months; and I have decided on die cast racing. :-)

Figured I cleaned up my garage, have ideas on track(s), and being retired; am looking for something fun to occupy my time.  Especially when alone at home all day, I am homebound, there is not much to do and needed to find an indoor hobby.  This seems to fit the bill.

I hope to post my journey on building my track in the Track Building forum, and I just created a YouTube channel a few minutes ago after reading here about posting videos; I wanted to have a place to post videos in the future of the progress.  I can also post my races there for any interested.

This looks like it will keep me busy and entertained at a time I am bored.  There are many variations on tracks that can be made/changed, and different themed races to hold; so I believe this could be a great adventure.

  • I just looked, and my Youtube channel is there. It's called RacerGnome if that is how you find it. I have not posted any videos yet. First one should be this weekend, and it will just be an intro of me and my space to create in. — RacerGnome
