Jim Wiseman’s Claremont Raceway
Claremont Raceway was designed for 1/32 club racing and running vintage 1/24 cars, enabled by the 4” lane spacing and wide turn borders. The large banked turn is reminiscent of one on a track the owner raced on in Southern California in 1965-67.
Special attention was given to ease of marshaling in the track design. The track has been everything the owner hoped it could be, from enjoying running a variety of cars alone, to introducing friends and family to slot car racing, and as a gathering place for fellow club members to race.
