First off congradulations to brad keselowski for winning the 2012 nascar sprint cup series championchip, and to allen johnson for winning this years prostsock championchip. It couldnt have been a better day, I went to a toy and train show out in hamburg ny with some friends looking for all sorts of mopar dieacast to add to my collection. found a couple of treasure hunts that i like, But what really caught my eye was the special eldon dodge road race slot car set made for purchasing from the scat pack club or a dodge dealer. the box is a little beat up but everything is there and works. I picked it up for a decent price, it was the same slot car set my father had when he was a kid. its just awesome! hope to clean up the parts and put it together and have some fun with it. ill post pics when i have the chance.

The Dodge Eldon set I had when I was a kid was Charger, Coronet and Pick Up bodies w/2 chassis. I just picked an Eldon set for 20.00 with 4 Eldon bodies, 4 complete Strombacher cars and a lot of track. I have 4 Eldon Dodges and chassis's that I have collected. I need a sheet of 3/4" plywood to mount the track on and I am ready to go racing!
There are a lot of parts for them out there. Tiny Motors has the tires and some other parts.

Had an Eldon set when I was a kid.
Used to fly the gold vette right off the track all the time.
Guess I wasn't that big on chevy then either.
Had the pistol style controller with the bogus speed readout on it.
Loved that set.
Gotta get another.

Its such a cool set, i'm really glad i found it. I wouldve had my father's set but when he joined the military back in the 70's anything and everything he had was either thrown out or given away. that really sucks.
