You'll have to pardon our ignorance for a moment. You see, up until now we couldn't even remotely fathom slot cars being used as works of art — they always just seemed like the perfect recreational tools for NASCAR fans needing something to do during the downtime between races (ed note: besides being jackasses?). Well, that all changed when we saw the Slot Car Wall Sculpture by Pete Nidzgorski. Made from a slot car track and two cars that the designer found online for a mere $100, Nidzgorski fashioned the tracks, which can be arranged in virtually infinite combinations, into a figure eight shape to create an unlikely, yet totally wonderful work of art that could also provide racing excitement when not on the wall. If you have the need for speed and wall decorations, maybe you should make your own.

Its interesting, but only slightly. I guess you have to be a Nascar fan to truly appreciate it. ;)

Thats a Ferrari and a Porsche. That is not an oval track. You are aware there are other forms of motorsports besides NASCAR. We are you people from? The eight grade?

but hey, thanks, for turning me on to this.

You just need a frame for it. That would look more finish and easier to use when you want. :D
