Dear Lego, Since TLC is dead set on selling racers as sets, why not give us something to race them on? Make a slot track along the lines of tyco etc. except lego compatible. Give the cars chassis's with motors, like regular slot cars, but also the optional unpowered chassis for carpets and floors! If i could design my own track layouts and cars, *thats* something i would invest in, like trains. And its something that people in groups can play with! That is a real toy- especially with the popularity of NASCAR and racing- that families could actually get involved with kids on. It would also open up all kinds of new/old set options- pit rows, spectator stands etc. john

John, Why not use the current LEGO offerings and make you're own race layout? Such as we've done with the Rail Racers(tm) ((URL) you could build the train track to look like a road and build the trains to look like NASCARs if you wanted. jt ps. I (...)
