Great video, Still doing slots in my 50's. :) Race on!

This blows video games out of the water!

Where is the steering wheel tack you click baited on you video.

When my dad got the track it was up in Alaska and sometimes you couldn't go outside it was -65 degrees so we couldn't go out for a few days. I still have about 60 cars

I started slot cars in 1962 or 63 .and now have a track 4×8 in one of my boys bedroom after he moved out. Still have the Lotus ,Austin Healy from back then.

I had to respond to this ! My interest in slot cars ,dates back to the early '60's , with a friends Strombecker home set. Later, I came to learn of 1/24 scale racing on commercial tracks. There was one, in "inner city" Detroit, "Hobby City" that a West Indian guy operated. I loved going there ... I had some scale cars , but my favs were my Classic "Asp", and a Cox "La Cucaracha" ... Loved them. But in 1967, the place was consumed by the Detroit Riot... and I was forced to realize that the realities of urban America, made this something I could not be diverted by ... (I was 15 at the time) Much later in life, when my model Train retrovirus had kicked in ( I did Lionel Trains at about 4 yrs old) , I noticed cool little scale cars , in the Train shops ... So now I am a TrainJunky, and a SlotCarSlut!!!😜

Great video! Thanks!!

Well!the pixar cars next generation racers go to this speedway

Let's race!

What a time

Very cool 😀

“Haha, I don’t know”

you socialized to

secretly recorded? if they didn’t know, why did she say she’d rather write to them because she doesn’t want recordings out there? this is why nancy grace sucks!

I did the 1/32 scale cars.. Even had 'The Batmobile '..

Love those days ! Building my own high performance slot car! With handmade brass frame ,all ball bearing wheels,drop pick,champion motor ,ball bearing,rewinded,balance,epoxy seal by me ! Easily took ! Second place in North Carolina Slot Car championshiip held in Raleigh ! The first place winner,DickiebTarton was the guy whom taught me!

I had a Tyco and AFX home set. Used to drive the cat nuts, used old books to make the overpasses

Then the slot car industry started to come out with SUPER fas cars and they looked like a piece of paper, they did not resemble any car, I think that is when it killed the hobby for a lot of people. I do not remember the train manufactures doing this kind of stuff.

1:09 If that is Hobby City I used to go to that track when I was a kid.

when does she mention sevendust?

Anyone else here because of Loudwire's Fact or Fiction featuring Sevendust?

This is how the roads need to be for electric cars. Only the stupid people can't use them. Travel from Memphis to Panama city in 4 hours.

I REMEMBER IN MY DAY THEY EVEN HAD POWER BRAKE'S, NOW THAT WAS SOMETHIN' TO SEE . MAXXAUS .

Oh man me and my dad use to build our frames out of brass tube and solder then paint the bodies ourselves. We raced them every week. And that was in like 1967-68. What a great hobby for any family to engage in.

th-cam.com/video/HLJssn8CH2E/w-d-xo.html /; SCALEAUTO Challenge Championship ,12. hours… interesting test 16 international teams here in ZALLA, I recorded 1 day… I hope well

My dad used to take me every week.Parma raceway in Parma Ohio.I last raced in long Beach CA. MY last car was group 20 with thin plasticity car body.I LOVED IT.AND MISS IT.

I can't believe there are only 41 comments in 14 long years. This has got to be like the great great grand father of the "Remote Control" cars we have now .

too bad this is the most cold hearted piece of shit click bait i have ever seen!

Que buen video , acá en Argentina tenemos un buen parque de slot Car en varias provincias hay pistas importantes y muy actualizadas!! Se fabrican partes que se venden en el Mundo de exelente calidad y x supuesto el precio es muy bajo en comparación a otros mercafos !! Un saludo desde Argentina 🇦🇷

During this time of 08’ Nancy Grace was being broadcasted in High Definition

I loved this hobby as a kid. I was terrible at it and a guy sold me a slot car with a Pittman motor for $10 bucks that was a lemon. But my friend, David, my same age, could build his own cars. A little engineering genius.

I had a 1/24 Cox Chaparral in the 60’s, moved to HO for a long time only to discover 1/32 cars about 25 years ago. Been kitbashing 1/32 cars for a wood-routed home track every since. Great hobby!!

Thanks for sharing this history

Growing up in Thousand Oaks, CA circa 1965 I bought a 1/24 scale 1963 Corvette slot car. The only track in town had just shut down. : (

I used to race at a track in Leominster, Mass back around 1965, 66, 67.

Watched this is Batman the TV series 1966, seems like it was pure joy for the whole family.

I had my home-built slot track on the floor of the loft with my trains running around the edge on a knee-high shelf. All made by myself and my father.

I'm surprised after what happened in 1959, they did the 50 year anniversary celebration of USAC IndyCar Racing at Daytona

I have a couple of these a Ford GT (ecoboost sadly) a Ford Mustang a la Ferrari and a back to the future Delorean Slot cars are a fun toy i wish there was a place I could race mine

Born slotcarcrazy 🏁🏁

I knew these two bothers that built their own chassis and motors, they designed chassis that today would be custom built car’s. They missed their calling

I was in the fire in pt St John

ridiculous... don't ever change...😀

Was the Batmobile offered in 1/32 scale? I saw an HO scale Batmobile slot car on the History Channels' " Pawn Stars " show.

been there and loved it, raced at all the local tracks, as a teen...

Fantastic slot Cars

I was seduced by many other forms of "fun" when I quit slot cars in the late 60s. Since I came back about 5 years ago, I always give slot cars the credit for being the first thing to put me in a trance. YUK YUK YUK

Great memories! Perhaps some enthusiast can refresh mine more accurately as I did not see the type of car I would race in front of a local hobby shop in San Antonio in 1867. They were the miniatures, but had 2 copper strips that were spring loaded underneath the car that made contact with the track. I had a lime green corvette and a fire engine red camaro. I want to say it was made by Cox, but am not sure. It was a great fun and I couldn't wait to get to the raceway each Saturday morning. Thanks for sharing this video.

How much speed it can get

I loved slot cars. It was a clean get together hobby. No drugs in those day but pure slot car fun. Mine was a 66 Corvette Stingray. They should reintroduce this past time and keep the kids off the streets. But of course whoever will reintroduce slot cars would do it to get rich quick as always by charging more money for 3 minutes, whereas in my days on quiet times it cost me 10 cents for 5 minutes and the owner would still make a clean profit.
