Guindon-apolis Speedway (pronounced "Gin-den" with a hard 'g' as in "grape") is
located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. This is the same Guindon-apolis Speedway
which used to operate in Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania prior to February 2004.

Historically, Guindon-apolis only carried 1/24th and 1/32nd scale slot cars. With
the passing of Richard Kipp and the closing of Kipp's HO Race Way, Guindon-apolis
stepped in to fill the void. Everybody has been asking what happened to Kipp's huge
inventory. Well, this is who bought it. Guindon-apolis has a room in the back pretty
much full of Kipp's old inventory and it spills out into the main race floor and his
cars can be found it yet another room with the HO tracks.

location in Fredericksburg, Guindon-apolis resides in an old bank.

   The first track will make your eyeballs pop out. It's huge!
There's a drag strip along the left wall, too.

   Another room in the back has yet another track. He calls this the Reading Raceway (or something to that effect).

   Another room and more tracks. These are routed HO tracks.

   Here's a better look at the second HO track -- a tri-oval. Some of
Kipp's old parts and cars wait to be organized.
