Shoreline Model Raceways

 

 

NEC events are inter-club events held twice each year - typically in the Spring and Fall.  The venue for these events rotates between participating clubs and track-to-track within the club hosting the event.  As participation in these events has grown, recent events have used a 2 track format to provide more track time to racers.  Each event contests 2 classes of cars (selected by the hosting club).  While NEC events are competitive, these events place a great deal of emphasis on having fun and promoting the hobby of slot car racing.

 

 

NEC 11 was hosted by the Shoreline Model Raceways club - the event was held at Area 51 Raceway in Storrs, CT.  The event was contested on 2 tracks - Area 51 and Gypsy (the Shoreline club's portable track).  Twenty four (24) racers representing four (4) clubs participated in NEC 11 - HOST (New Hampshire), NERF (Massachusetts), Quebec (Quebec, Canada) and Shoreline (Connecticut).  The HOST club won this event - detailed results can be found here.
