Great book. Well thought out and very professional. The book not only has a layout for everyone but also a technical part that is amazing. You have to read it to believe it. A must have for the racer and collector.

If you are looking for a source of excellent HO scale slot car layouts, Jerome really provides the best examples in his new book. It is called Book I: Flat Land as these layouts are intentionally designed without using any level change tracks like hills, slopes and banks. There are 123 different tracks to build as shown or use as a starting point for your own modifications. The chapters are broken into two, four, six and eight lane layouts and each specifies which track brand possesses the required track sections to construct the layout. Plenty of great ideas for casual home tracks or serious competitive racing layouts.
