Welcome to the Yahoo Group page for Mid-America HO Racing! Our club is located in the Kansas City metroplex. This is an HO slot car racing club dedicated towards the tuning, optimization and racing of the Aurora Thunderjet 500 HO slot car. Developed by Aurora's Derek Brand, the "T-jet" is in essence a work of design ingenuity and a model of efficiency that was ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1963. Now, over four decades later, the Thunderjet is anything but obsolete and still just as much fun to race for all club members young and old.
