Title: New Quarantine Addiction: Marble Racing Post by: 1.21GW on June 09, 2020, 06:19:22 PM Anyone else seen these? I don't know why but I get really into these races even though there's no skill or free will involved.
Race starts at 6:20-ish (link should jump there). Exciting last lap! https://youtu.be/k3S5bHEcmeg?t=378 Title: Re: New Quarantine Addiction: Marble Racing Post by: Randimus Maximus on June 09, 2020, 08:11:43 PM Thanks for that time suck!

A lap or two less would keep me more engaged (blame the ADD) but still entertaining. [thumbsup] Title: Re: New Quarantine Addiction: Marble Racing Post by: Speedbag on June 10, 2020, 05:11:47 AM Fantastic. ;D
What I want to know now is where I can buy the track, seems like fun with friends while drinking beer....

Much shorter races (ahem...Stella):

The guys who did the diecast stuff, also do a "dirt" rally event, it's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3hEfwmzgDI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3hEfwmzgDI) Title: Re: New Quarantine Addiction: Marble Racing Post by: DarkMonster620 on June 12, 2020, 07:22:12 PM Projected videos to my 55" tv and sound thru home theather . . . feels so good

No clue. But for a foodie like you, Oaxaca is a mecca. You ever make it up this way we can eat ourselves into a coma. Well, I can at least; I suspect your eating talents are insuperable. As for travel, I'm all traveled out these days. Although I do hope to sneak into a DIMBY one day again in the distant COVID-free future. How are the dogs these day?
