Art for Hoons: Slot Car Wall Sculpture

Posted on March 6, 2008 Under Art

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.
