Hello all! Thank you for all your support on this video! I am happy so many of you are able to enjoy Jimmy's lifetime of work and artistry! For all of you wondering, we've got a lot more in-store with Jimmy and his track. Expect racing, tutorials, and many more stories to come! Just in-case anyone missed it, I've linked Jimmy's website below. I hope you all have a great day! Jimmy's Website: ac2car.org/
Lunchking, I’m now following and really touched by Jimmy’s lifetime track, man I love slot racing and his is on another level thank u very much🥰👍📡✔️📡🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸
Ryan and Derek, this is Jimmy... I want to personally thank you for all your fine work on the latest Lunch King video. It's really special to me! Especially since this project has been a lifetime of fun, now thanks to you we can share it with other racing fans. Derek, your editing and video work is first rate. Man you are so very good at what you do! Thank You gentlemen.
I've just watched the video again and I'm finding myself find more and more things I missed the first time round. Mate we should be thanking you for showing us the life's work
Wow Bob... We're the same age and it does make me feel like it's 1967. Thanks for your kind comments my friend. If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
You know, Jimmy, the finest thing about your raceway, is not the accuracy, the innovative methods used to replicate real racing, it’s not even your passion or labour of love, it’s the most amazing humanity that you’ve shared this with so many other people. Lots of collectors and enthusiasts build things for themselves, you’ve built thus for everyone. Your willingness to share and help others is a model for the entire world to copy. If there were more people like you in the world, the world would be a better place.
You know your comment came just-in-time Alberto because today I read one comment that made me sad. It said I should give the money I had put into my track to the poor. It kind of made me feel bad. But, I've had Church youth groups here with kids who had special needs. All they had to do was move their finger to make the cars run so thier smiles were worth it to me ....thanks again for your cheerful comments.. Hope you subscribe. Go back and send it your friends because the guys plan on doing more videos. Thanks again my friend.
@@jimmyattard1446 It’s easy to say these things like “you should….etc etc”. It’s wrong for anyone to do this. Firstly, she doesn’t know what you do and secondly, as you, said, the community uses your track. It’s not for us as citizens to give money to the poor (I’m not saying don’t help or give) it’s for us to pressure the government to legislate against poverty and homelessness. The US poverty problem will not go away with you giving your hobby money to the poor. It’s the whole US system of “democracy”. Fortunately, I live in the UK, so we at least have free healthcare and it’s excellent in all ways. However, it is under siege from a government that is looking at allowing US private firms in. It’s not about improvement but personal gain. God forbid we head down the track like your corporate sponsored politicians, but the evidence is strong that we are already beginning to. Keep up your good work, and your kindness to others is all you need to give, since those that see your example, will do the same for others. Ignore the pious and the whitened sepulchres, they like to grandstand and appear good and holy. (A quick story here: a priest came to my church to look for vocations. He said that when the potential seminarians come on retreat, he asks them to empty their pockets. The ones with bibles and rosary beads he doesn’t select, however, the ones with scraps of paper, conkers (game played with the fruit of horse chestnut tree) paper clips and all manner of tat, are the ones that make the best priests). That corroborates my belief on how to live your life.
Thanks Matt for your nice words. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
I am rarely at a loss for words but this gentleman and his track have blown me away. I had No idea such a track existed much less all of the technology it contains. You are a brilliant!! Thanks for sharing.
Well I'm not sure about brilliant Mark, but thanks a lot for the kind words! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
I think that was the developers' intention in the 80's they sure wanted an expansion of knowledge which this documentary is. Another thing, the gentleman is maybe my age, just guessing. Here is the thing, the young guy appreciates the old guy's wisdom. We are books, we are libraries, and when we die, all the books are gone and all that is left is bits and pieces (STUFF, MATERIAL GOODS) but the real treasure is the young people will now pass this down and a video now makes that easy.
I’ve been a builder of static models for about 50 years, and try for watch-maker levels of detail, but your work is a whole level beyond mine. I do 1/35 military, but this is astounding. You deserve a far wider audience, this is really impressive. I salute you, Sir.
I admire this guy. Loves life and found something enjoyable to stick with and pour into. The attention to detail is astounding. Great personality. A one of a kind top artist.
Thank you for your diligence to get your uncles track on the youtube channel. Im rob i raced at lunch from Ford.I am still working on my track, Thanks Jimmy !
I am getting back to this hobby after 30 years and what a gemstone youtube got me! This guy Jimmy is the Da Vinci of slot cars. I mean, how can someone come up with such ideas?
Wow the best? Thanks Woodie! Hope you subscribe. And, thank you for your support. Go back and forward this video to your friends because the guys are planning to have more soon. Thanks again my friend.
Today’s a good day! At 65 I so rarely get to say this: “This guy, Uncle Jimmy, is my Hero! I love what he did there and how accessible he made it to kids and adults alike! Thanks Jimmy!
This video just came up on my TH-cam feed.I'm a big race fan and the level of detail in this track in amazing.Jimmy really knows how to explain all its feature's and his knowledge shine's through.Brilliant stuff.
This is possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen in my 47 years on this planet! This video just popped up on my feed out of nowhere, and I couldn't be more grateful for it. This man is a Wizard! The level of detail is astounding. Thank you so much for this interview! I can't wait to see more of this track and learn more of the Man who created it. Jimmy, my hats off to you Sir!
Your uncle seems like a really friendly and helpful guy. You can see the pleasure he gets from the hobby. Thanks for showing this, was really cool and very interesting.
Thanks for the kind words Torso...Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Wow. Just wow. I've seen tracks, scale tracks, big tracks, small tracks but not anything close to this. It's cool to hear your uncle talk about his pride and joy! Absolutely amazing track and slot car collection!
Why thanks so much Afro!Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Not sure how the algorithm brought me here but I’m so glad it did…brought back tons of memories of spending my allowance on wompwomps and other cars at the local slot car track in the 90’s… great stuff!
So many guys tell me that Matt! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
Covid put a stop to our racing Bob. Saturday was the first race in almost 3 years. Thank you for following Lunch King. Please forward our work to your friends and family!
Most impressive track and detailed slots I ever seen. This is a passion and living a dream. Thank you sooooo much with sharing it. It really amazing. Thanks Ryan and Derek.
Wow, everyone needs an Uncle Jimmy! Simply amazing all the thought, time, and engineering he put in. I can’t wait to see more, and hear more stories. Thanks for sharing.
The paint work on the décoration are really great. Rusty, dirty, dust etc... just enough and perfect. Lot of details for a living tracks also are perfect.
Thank you Manu! You can find more video on 1/32 slot racing and tracks by subscribing to the Lunch King channel. Go back end share with your friends and family my friend.
I’m originally from Dearborn Heights and my wife is Maltese. My wife’s uncle Francis lived in Dearborn and had a wonderful model train setup in his basement. My wife’s brother works at Ford Experimental Engine. Well done video! Your uncle Jim is a special guy!
Thx ACV! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
Hey thanks for your kind words Visotoo! If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
It's a technical & artistic masterpiece. You could look at it all day & still not take it all in. What a creation! Hats off to you Jimmy, from Australia.
Kerry & Matt....you made me blush. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
This was an absolute joy to watch! I don't think I blinked! Realistic racing (speed) on a vintage track pulls on my heart string. Thank you uncle Jim for sharing your passion (and for filming it, Ryan). I'll certainly be following.
Hey thanks for the nice words Skyler! . Hope you subscribe. Go back and send it your friends because the guys plan on doing more videos. Thanks again my friend.
Dad use to build thin walled brass tube frames, rewind motors, shave weight.. It was a great family affair. We each had our kit of cars, parts, and of course tires... Wish it would come back to its glory.
That is the best most awesome track I have ever seen. I used to race my cars on a little eight shaped track when young but enjoyed doing it. A wonderful hobby to have
Thanks for the kindness Todd..i guess I started with a little figure eight track too. Now 58 years later look where it got me.😁...Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Hello Ryan and Jim, Wow, Absolutely Brilliant! I have been a slot car fan since the late 50's/early 60's and the Aurora Vibrating Reed HO slot cars. In my high school years (1964-68), I raced 1/24 AMT models at a commercial slot car track in Portland, Maine. Did reasonably well on a lawn mowing/snow shoveling/paperboy's budget. Fast forward a few decades, in the late 90's, there was a Pro built HO track that was a commercial business that I raced at for a few years, but here in So. Cal. with all the outdoor activity that can be done, there wasn't enough interest and it closed. Another decade or so goes by, and I find a 1/24 track (the "Teal Terror", owned by Mike Tucker) right here in El Cajon, Ca., that I raced at for a few years, then it sold and quickly folded. Then, up popped another HO track by the same owner (Gary Morgan, a terrific & generous guy and hard racer) but after only another few years, it too closed from low turn outs. There has always been a great group of hardcore guys like me. but to run a slot car track as a business, it's just too hard in this area to do so. I miss the comrade and fun and competitive racing that is Slot Cars. SO great to see such a fine craftsman and gentleman applying his skills to a hobby I've always loved. Thanks so much for showing the layout and history. Stay safe and healthy. cheers Boots Langley La Mesa, Ca
what a great story. the track looks fantastic, one of the best landscaped tracks I have ever seen. I have heard of AC2car but never understood properly how it works until now.
Giovanni, thanks for the nice words. I'm especially happy that you were able to understand the AC to car concepts. I wasn't sure if I was explaining it clear enough... many people don't want to know and they just say sorry things about it. I'm glad you understand it better and I hope others do too. Please share it with others so they can understand and thank you my friend!
So cool ! I remember in the 60s a set up like this in a shop in a small Australian coastal town . I was to young to join in and race but was allowed to watch the action.. Beautiful little cars and the smell of ozone and solvents etc engraved in my head.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Your Uncle is a special man. I wish I could face with him. Im an old school slot car racer. Im blown away with this and so glad you shared. Please keep it up as one day us old guys won’t be around. In the meantime enjoy every second. 👍🏻
Right you are Freedom life is short my friend.Go back and share this segment with your friends and subscribe because the guys are planning more videos about the track and more.
Thanks for the kind thoughts Steve! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comments my friend.
Very very cool! That's got to be one of the most detailed tracks I've ever seen. Not many people get to spend a lifetime working on their passion, and the fact that it's such a positive impact on others makes it that much sweeter. I wish your uncle Jimmy many more years of enjoyment, making new friends, and bringing people together with this fun hobby.
Thankyou NM for your kind words! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Talk about a labor of love…it’s incredible. You’d be hard pressed to find a track any nicer than this in the entire world..I’m just in awe of what he’s done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Why thanks DB! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
I’m in awe of your uncle’s work! I remember reading about AC2Car many many years ago, accidentally stumbling on his website. I thought it was the greatest thing to scale racing and still think it’s true. It truly looks like real racing compared to any other slot car system out there. Unfortunately i haven’t had the chance to experience a track like this up close. I wish I had an uncle Jim of my own to work next to and learn the skill. Say hello and thank you for sharing his knowledge and showing us his beautiful and elaborate track. And thank you to you as well for bringing this into your show, it speaks volumes that you’d showcase your uncle and his work. Bravo!
Thank you Juvi for all the kind words ...i am so glad it inspires you! ..share this video to inspire others because the guys are planning on doing more segments... and thanks again for all the kind words my friend.
Probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Got a guy outside of Williamsburg, VA that has some nice tracks in old strip mall buildings. Good stuff. The switches that allow real passing is incredible. You are brilliant. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for your supportive words Keith! There are other segments detailing the lane changing my friend. If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
Man..................thanks for that. That hit me in a special way since my dad had a giant HO train layout in the basement that we were always showing off to people who just stopped by. But it meant a lot to him, and me, and everyone associated with my family. I can see the same amount of pride in Jimmy's face as he explains his plans and talks about everything he has done. I just wanted to let you guys know how much I enjoyed this video and how awesome that track looks. Thanks again.
I am very glad Travis, that's what this video is all about... bringing back warm memories. Hope you subscribe. And, thank you for your support. Go back and forward this video to your friends because the guys are planning to have more soon. Thanks again my friend.
What an incredible track! Just top-notch work. Thanks for sharing this. Used to race these when I was a kid and this brought back some great memories. Thanks again!
The memories is what it's all about John! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
I believe it was the Christmas of 1968 at 7 years old I was so excited to get a Revell 1/32 scale set which came with a Mustang & Camaro. What a fantastic hobby and an amazing layout you have. From one Michigander to another fantastic mini doc!
The video seems to always bring back cool memories like this video did for you Tim. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
Wow. Jimmy Attard is so nice. I love slot cars. Always wanted to go upscale from HO but never did. If Jimmy was my neighbor, I'm sure I would have. I still have over 100 HO slot cars and Aurora track from the T-jet days.
I first learned about Jimmy and his track on Slot Car Illustrated about 17 years ago. I was looking to get into this hobby and a quick search of the net took me to SCI. I am enjoying this immensely. Thank you
That is unbelievable detail. I was still a kid in the mid 60's, and my uncles were on the back end of their slot careers, but they had a league in my grandpa's basement, it was a huge 6 slot banked figure eight (with a tunnel) for competitive racing. My grandpa was an electrician and built it...easily 30 ft long by approx 10 ft wide. It was crazy, cars were so fast and if they fish tailed too much in turns would bump the other cars and send them flying.
Steve I'm so glad it brought up warm memories ....as far as I'm concerned that's what it's all about ....hopefully the kids that race on my track will get that warm glow 20 years from now ....thanks for the kind words my friend
Wow! This is really cool. I am into slot cars, started with the old Aurora T-Jets back in the day, Carrera digital now. The only thing more impressive than the scenery, the electronic wizardry, the dedication to the pursuit of racing realism is his passion for sharing it with friends and family. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.

This is an incredible video. I raced 1/24 scale as a teenager and those were some of the best times. Dad and I rewound our motors etc to make them faster. I’m deeply impressed with your track and dedication to the slot car sport. Well done mate.
That place is just magical. The whole thing fills me with nostalgic, 70s vibes. I would have loved to have a go on that as a kid. Bravo sir, fascinating passion project. Looks like you’ve made a special place for a lot of people over the years.
Thanks for the nice words Ozzy. . Hope you subscribe. Go back and send it your friends because the guys plan on doing more videos. Thanks again my friend.
I thought it was a bit awkward, Resenbrink, when Ryan asked about my work area. Glad you liked it. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Great work as always Jimmy! Thank you again for the invite to come race all those years ago... Can't wait to start trading plastic and paint with the others on your track this coming November. Defiantly need some racing footage uploaded to TH-cam soon, people are hungry for more of the track:)
From one modeler to another thanks for commenting....subscribe and we can go to lunch with Ryan when he shoots a Lunch King video. You'd make a great taste tester!
Always loved full detail tracks. Great ideas, love the lane spacing, clever AC solution, but most of all, the scenery. Also love the big tracks, since my parents owned one in the 60's. But my heart is less speed, more detail.
JA & LK thanks for a great video!! Very much impressed with all the hard work and the thinking that went in for the pre-planning of all this work!! I raced slot cars in the '60s and '70s and periodically will get a set out and race them. Thanks for bringing back a lot of memories!!
Wow , I got into slot cars back in 1965 . Could not afford but the cheapest but had a lot of fun . Great to see old dudes are still very serious about them Awesome facility Jimmy has built and continues to promote the sport .
We are probably the same age 25vrd48! I got my first track in 63. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Very glad you liked the racetrack Don! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
What a wonderful track, and what amazing stories! Uncle Jimmy is a true craftsman and historian who has built something unique. I'd love to see a track like this up close and personal, it'd be amazing!
Amazing! I had an HO 4 lane track with lap counters, if someone fell off track, each driver had a button that cut off power to all cars, we put the crashed car back on track, give his car a 1 lap penalty, push button again to restore power to everyone and the race continued. My setup had trees and buildings but nothing like your setup. Looks like a 60’s 70’s racetrack and I love the GT40, Ferrari 330 P4. You really know your stuff. Loved seeing your setup, brings back the memories.
Jeff...Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Thank you for this episode! This is a dream track. This is a hobby I have always wanted to get into, but I've never been fortunate enough to have the space. It's nice to see a fellow Michigander with the same passion for vintage racing. Wishing you many happy laps!!!
Tiim I too am in Michigan (Grand Rapids). My track scenery is a bit more simply as it's in a temporary state and you could have a setup using a kit like Scalextric. The track is a bit more narrow than other brands so takes up less space and you can run 6 cars in one lane. You can press a button at lane changer tracks for passing and blocking as described in this video.
I went to one of these when I was 15 years old. Spent 6 hours at the place. Its one of the MAIN memories I have when I look back on myself. I had the best time ever. The guy running it was super nice. It is one of my very very very best memories as a kid. I will never forget it.
That is the most awesome racetrack I've ever seen. Thank you and especially your uncle for showing it. Now that I'm getting ready to retire I would love to start trying to build one myself. I have some special needs grandchildren that would benefit from helping build it and I know from racing the cars. Thank you again for showing us that awesome track.
Ray I have a list of SN kids that loved running cars here. It sort of levels the playing field a bit for them! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It’s an inspiration for me now that I’m starting to build my own track and with the intention to be as realistic as possible. I’ll see all your videos. Your are the master of the scenery. Regards from Spain.
Thank you for sharing, that was awesome! Your uncle seems like a good man! The track....I mean layout,is incredible, very impressive work and detail,true craftsmanship!And the video was top shelf! Some how I keep missing your uncle's website though. Thanks again Keith
Ryan & Uncle Jim That was fantastic seeing this layout ..I truly was hoping this was a 3 hour video..I have to see more of every foot of this track.I also love all the Lil things about race tracks .Here in Calif. Nothing lasts.All the Tracks I loved as a kid and an Adult are gone! Riverside Raceway.Ontario motor Speedway an now Calif speedway in Fontana . Gone! Back to urs plz do more videos? Or have U ? Thank U again Ryan for posting this & Jim ..For creating this ..U must have been an engineer at Ford. Again THANK U BOTH !! D.W. CALIF..
Well DWNNN, we are probably from the same Era sir! Great to feel like a kid again. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Incredible! It would have been cool to see it in operation when it worked back in the day. I guess time wears away all cars, including slot cars! Nice static piece to show off to visitors!
Willy look up the racing footage on other segments of the Lunch King channel. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
Thanks for sharing your uncle’s slot car track. As a side note, the Eldon Selectronic racing set that he mentioned works exactly on the same principles of diode control. Genius!
WONDERFUL... Dan you and very few others can remember that short lived run of Eldon Selectronic tracks! You are showing your age my friend. Thanks for the kind words
All the tools, equipment, materials, the cost must be off the charts, and Jimmy's engineering abilities reminds me of my dad who used to be a mechanical engineer who designed aircraft engines. Engineering or the mechanical is not my thing, to say the least, so people who work in such fields always impress me. Great stuff.
Truly Frank... I used scrap wood for everything but the track surface which I bought new. Counting the router bits and tape, just the track alone not counting scenery, I don't think I have more than $300 IN GETTING the track built and running. Plz go back and subscribe, and share this video with friends. Thanks again my friend!
WOW !! AS A 8 LANE 255 FT BLUE KING OWNER THAT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Love how your lanes are more like real racing and takes more skill to drive please post a full track with racing.
Glad you liked it Tom! There are video of racing here on the Lunch King channel. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
This looks like it went from passion to obsession. Either way, this track and collection is simply amazing and you would have no shortage of friends who want to be with you.
GMG Thanks for your nice words....Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the kind comment my friend.
Amazing layout. You can really see that jimmy’s passion has been translated into the level of detail this track has. I only wish I had the space to get back into the hobby.
Hello all! Thank you for all your support on this video! I am happy so many of you are able to enjoy Jimmy's lifetime of work and artistry!

I've just watched the video again and I'm finding myself find more and more things I missed the first time round.
Mate we should be thanking you for showing us the life's work
Great layout, I'm 69 years old,you just brought me back to being 12 years old again...Thanks !!!!

There is a special place in heaven for Jimmy Attard. My only regret is that he's not my neighbor. THANK YOU for sharing his passion with all of us!
I'm 38 years young. I haven't enjoyed a video on TH-cam like I have with this one. Thank you Jimmy!
Wow thanks for your kind comment DG! Please go back and subscribe, and share this video with friends. Thanks again my friend!
Thank you, Mr. Attard and Ryan for this fun and enlightening visit!
Sure thing Steve! . Hope you subscribe. Go back and send it your friends because the guys plan on doing more videos. Thanks again my friend.
Is it possible to come see this amazing racing art in person? I live in Detroit and would Love to experience the amazement!!
You know, Jimmy, the finest thing about your raceway, is not the accuracy, the innovative methods used to replicate real racing, it’s not even your passion or labour of love, it’s the most amazing humanity that you’ve shared this with so many other people. Lots of collectors and enthusiasts build things for themselves, you’ve built thus for everyone. Your willingness to share and help others is a model for the entire world to copy. If there were more people like you in the world, the world would be a better place.
You know your comment came just-in-time Alberto because today I read one comment that made me sad. It said I should give the money I had put into my track to the poor. It kind of made me feel bad. But, I've had Church youth groups here with kids who had special needs. All they had to do was move their finger to make the cars run so thier smiles were worth it to me ....thanks again for your cheerful comments.. Hope you subscribe. Go back and send it your friends because the guys plan on doing more videos. Thanks again my friend.
@@jimmyattard1446 It’s easy to say these things like “you should….etc etc”. It’s wrong for anyone to do this. Firstly, she doesn’t know what you do and secondly, as you, said, the community uses your track.
It’s not for us as citizens to give money to the poor (I’m not saying don’t help or give) it’s for us to pressure the government to legislate against poverty and homelessness. The US poverty problem will not go away with you giving your hobby money to the poor. It’s the whole US system of “democracy”.
Fortunately, I live in the UK, so we at least have free healthcare and it’s excellent in all ways. However, it is under siege from a government that is looking at allowing US private firms in. It’s not about improvement but personal gain. God forbid we head down the track like your corporate sponsored politicians, but the evidence is strong that we are already beginning to.
Keep up your good work, and your kindness to others is all you need to give, since those that see your example, will do the same for others. Ignore the pious and the whitened sepulchres, they like to grandstand and appear good and holy. (A quick story here: a priest came to my church to look for vocations. He said that when the potential seminarians come on retreat, he asks them to empty their pockets. The ones with bibles and rosary beads he doesn’t select, however, the ones with scraps of paper, conkers (game played with the fruit of horse chestnut tree) paper clips and all manner of tat, are the ones that make the best priests). That corroborates my belief on how to live your life.
This is just unbelievable. The detail.. but the engineering and electric work. Incredible.
Thanks Matt for your nice words. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
I am rarely at a loss for words but this gentleman and his track have blown me away. I had No idea such a track existed much less all of the technology it contains. You are a brilliant!! Thanks for sharing.
Well I'm not sure about brilliant Mark, but thanks a lot for the kind words! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
This is what the internet should be made of, not stupid tiktok crap, thank you for this, cheers from Brazil!
Thanks for your kind words HS! Thank you for following Lunch King. Please forward our work to your friends and family!
I think that was the developers' intention in the 80's they sure wanted an expansion of knowledge which this documentary is. Another thing, the gentleman is maybe my age, just guessing. Here is the thing, the young guy appreciates the old guy's wisdom. We are books, we are libraries, and when we die, all the books are gone and all that is left is bits and pieces (STUFF, MATERIAL GOODS) but the real treasure is the young people will now pass this down and a video now makes that easy.
Dude. TIKTOK is not the problem. Manipulated data controlled IS the issue.
Thanks for sharing your Uncle Jim’s wonderful work of art.
I’ve been a builder of static models for about 50 years, and try for watch-maker levels of detail, but your work is a whole level beyond mine. I do 1/35 military, but this is astounding. You deserve a far wider audience, this is really impressive. I salute you, Sir.
Absolutely 100%
I admire this guy. Loves life and found something enjoyable to stick with and pour into. The attention to detail is astounding. Great personality. A one of a kind top artist.
Thanks again Puff! Go back and share this segment with your friends and subscribe because the guys are planning more videos about the track and more.
Thank you for your diligence to get your uncles track on the youtube channel. Im rob i raced at lunch from Ford.I am still working on my track, Thanks Jimmy !
Thank you
I am getting back to this hobby after 30 years and what a gemstone youtube got me!
This guy Jimmy is the Da Vinci of slot cars. I mean, how can someone come up with such ideas?
What a fabulous slot car track. The best I have seen. Congratulations.
Wow the best? Thanks Woodie! Hope you subscribe. And, thank you for your support. Go back and forward this video to your friends because the guys are planning to have more soon. Thanks again my friend.
Today’s a good day! At 65 I so rarely get to say this: “This guy, Uncle Jimmy, is my Hero! I love what he did there and how accessible he made it to kids and adults alike!
Thanks Jimmy!
This video just came up on my TH-cam feed.I'm a big race fan and the level of detail in this track in amazing.Jimmy really knows how to explain all its feature's and his knowledge shine's through.Brilliant stuff.
Same
This is possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen in my 47 years on this planet! This video just popped up on my feed out of nowhere, and I couldn't be more grateful for it. This man is a Wizard! The level of detail is astounding. Thank you so much for this interview! I can't wait to see more of this track and learn more of the Man who created it. Jimmy, my hats off to you Sir!
This is by far the best track I have ever seen.
Thank you Jerry. Thank you for your kind words my friend. Share this with others because the guys plan on more video to come.
Wow so many memories. Fly cars are so nice looking. I didn't have adult money back then so i didn't get the best one, but my favorite cars were fly.
This guys a freaking genius. I hope you truly have gratitude for having someone like this in your life.
Your uncle seems like a really friendly and helpful guy. You can see the pleasure he gets from the hobby. Thanks for showing this, was really cool and very interesting.
Thanks for the kind words Torso...Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Wow. Just wow. I've seen tracks, scale tracks, big tracks, small tracks but not anything close to this. It's cool to hear your uncle talk about his pride and joy! Absolutely amazing track and slot car collection!
Why thanks so much Afro!Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Not sure how the algorithm brought me here but I’m so glad it did…brought back tons of memories of spending my allowance on wompwomps and other cars at the local slot car track in the 90’s… great stuff!
So many guys tell me that Matt! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!

Most impressive track and detailed slots I ever seen. This is a passion and living a dream. Thank you sooooo much with sharing it. It really amazing. Thanks Ryan and Derek.
Uncle Jim is the uncle everybody would love to have, or at least I would have love when I was a kid. Awesome job and dedication.
Thanks Paco!... share this video with your friends because the guys are planning more segments... and thanks again for your kind words my friend
Wow, everyone needs an Uncle Jimmy! Simply amazing all the thought, time, and engineering he put in. I can’t wait to see more, and hear more stories. Thanks for sharing.
The paint work on the décoration are really great. Rusty, dirty, dust etc... just enough and perfect. Lot of details for a living tracks also are perfect.
Thank you Manu!

I’m originally from Dearborn Heights and my wife is Maltese. My wife’s uncle Francis lived in Dearborn and had a wonderful model train setup in his basement. My wife’s brother works at Ford Experimental Engine. Well done video! Your uncle Jim is a special guy!
Thank you - He is something special and Maltese too..
Amazing to see someone being able to fulfill their passion to this extent. Respect for all the detail and quality
Thx ACV! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
A brilliant track, clear to see how much time and passion Jimmy has thrown into it over the years! Kudos.
The man is a genius. I hope he made a lot of money in life, he deserves it.
A great example of dedication, devotion, and discipline. Outstanding...
Hey thanks for your kind words Visotoo! If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
Every guys dream.
Just …..WoW !!
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Swarm! Thank you for following Lunch King. Please forward our work to your friends and family!
Unbelievable realism, your passion for racing is so admirable, love seeing the stock cars from the sixties!
It's a technical & artistic masterpiece. You could look at it all day & still not take it all in. What a creation! Hats off to you Jimmy, from Australia.
Kerry & Matt....you made me blush. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
This was an absolute joy to watch! I don't think I blinked! Realistic racing (speed) on a vintage track pulls on my heart string. Thank you uncle Jim for sharing your passion (and for filming it, Ryan). I'll certainly be following.
This randomly showed up on my suggested list and man… what a sweet set up! Dude LIVES slot cars.
Hey thanks for the nice words Skyler! . Hope you subscribe. Go back and send it your friends because the guys plan on doing more videos. Thanks again my friend.
Dad use to build thin walled brass tube frames, rewind motors, shave weight.. It was a great family affair. We each had our kit of cars, parts, and of course tires... Wish it would come back to its glory.
Great memories Sunset! Thank you for your kind words my friend. Share this with others because the guys plan on more video to come.
Uncle Jim is a true gentleman. Great dedication and great passion.
That is the best most awesome track I have ever seen. I used to race my cars on a little eight shaped track when young but enjoyed doing it. A wonderful hobby to have
Thanks for the kindness Todd..i guess I started with a little figure eight track too. Now 58 years later look where it got me.😁...Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Hello Ryan and Jim,
Wow, Absolutely Brilliant! I have been a slot car fan since the late 50's/early 60's and the Aurora Vibrating Reed HO slot cars. In my high school years (1964-68), I raced 1/24 AMT models at a commercial slot car track in Portland, Maine. Did reasonably well on a lawn mowing/snow shoveling/paperboy's budget.
Fast forward a few decades, in the late 90's, there was a Pro built HO track that was a commercial business that I raced at for a few years, but here in So. Cal. with all the outdoor activity that can be done, there wasn't enough interest and it closed.
Another decade or so goes by, and I find a 1/24 track (the "Teal Terror", owned by Mike Tucker) right here in El Cajon, Ca., that I raced at for a few years, then it sold and quickly folded.
Then, up popped another HO track by the same owner (Gary Morgan, a terrific & generous guy and hard racer) but after only another few years, it too closed from low turn outs.
There has always been a great group of hardcore guys like me. but to run a slot car track as a business, it's just too hard in this area to do so.
I miss the comrade and fun and competitive racing that is Slot Cars.
SO great to see such a fine craftsman and gentleman applying his skills to a hobby I've always loved.
Thanks so much for showing the layout and history.
Stay safe and healthy.
cheers
Boots Langley

Thank you for your response
Unbelievable detail! Deserves awards.
Thank you ET. Thank you for your kind words my friend. Share this with others because the guys plan on more video to come.
Respect to Mr. Jimmy Attard - smart, humble, likable - Greetings from your friends in Australia.
what a great story. the track looks fantastic, one of the best landscaped tracks I have ever seen. I have heard of AC2car but never understood properly how it works until now.
Giovanni, thanks for the nice words. I'm especially happy that you were able to understand the AC to car concepts. I wasn't sure if I was explaining it clear enough... many people don't want to know and they just say sorry things about it. I'm glad you understand it better and I hope others do too. Please share it with others so they can understand and thank you my friend!
So cool !
I remember in the 60s a set up like this in a shop in a small Australian coastal town .
I was to young to join in and race but was allowed to watch the action..
Beautiful little cars and the smell of ozone and solvents etc engraved in my head.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Your Uncle is a special man. I wish I could face with him. Im an old school slot car racer. Im blown away with this and so glad you shared. Please keep it up as one day us old guys won’t be around. In the meantime enjoy every second. 👍🏻
Right you are Freedom life is short my friend.Go back and share this segment with your friends and subscribe because the guys are planning more videos about the track and more.
What an amazing man. Thank you for showing this soul to me.
Thank you for your kind words my friend. Grizegore, share this with others because the guys plan on more video to come.
I got a whole bunch of this stuff from the 60's right up through the 80's I ought a try and unload.
I love, love, love this. What a fabulous accomplishment. I can only imagine how many wonderful times Jimmy has made for family and friends.
Thanks for the kind thoughts Steve! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comments my friend.
Very very cool! That's got to be one of the most detailed tracks I've ever seen. Not many people get to spend a lifetime working on their passion, and the fact that it's such a positive impact on others makes it that much sweeter. I wish your uncle Jimmy many more years of enjoyment, making new friends, and bringing people together with this fun hobby.
Thankyou NM for your kind words! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Talk about a labor of love…it’s incredible. You’d be hard pressed to find a track any nicer than this in the entire world..I’m just in awe of what he’s done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What an incredible accomplishment - incredible detail..thank you for sharing.
Complete brilliance, I know very little about art glass, but I know about the copper tape, brilliant.
Thanks a lot Jeff! Thank you for following Lunch King. Please forward our work to your friends and family!
Marvelous. Truly the most amazing thing in miniature racing I’ve ever seen!
It's so awesome to see the ❤️ Jimmy has for the hobby!
Why thanks DB! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
I’m in awe of your uncle’s work! I remember reading about AC2Car many many years ago, accidentally stumbling on his website. I thought it was the greatest thing to scale racing and still think it’s true. It truly looks like real racing compared to any other slot car system out there. Unfortunately i haven’t had the chance to experience a track like this up close. I wish I had an uncle Jim of my own to work next to and learn the skill. Say hello and thank you for sharing his knowledge and showing us his beautiful and elaborate track. And thank you to you as well for bringing this into your show, it speaks volumes that you’d showcase your uncle and his work. Bravo!
Thank you Juvi for all the kind words ...i am so glad it inspires you! ..share this video to inspire others because the guys are planning on doing more segments... and thanks again for all the kind words my friend.
That is an amazing work of living art!!
Such detail. It truly boggles the mind! Wow
Thank you for your kind words my friend. Jamie share this with others because the guys plan on more video to come.
Absolutely amazing and beautiful. I remember very well slot car racing in the mid 60's in Springfield Illinois where I grew up.
Good memories TT. Thank you for your kind words my friend. Share this with others because the guys plan on more video to come.
Probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Got a guy outside of Williamsburg, VA that has some nice tracks in old strip mall buildings. Good stuff. The switches that allow real passing is incredible. You are brilliant. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for your supportive words Keith! There are other segments detailing the lane changing my friend. If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
Man..................thanks for that. That hit me in a special way since my dad had a giant HO train layout in the basement that we were always showing off to people who just stopped by. But it meant a lot to him, and me, and everyone associated with my family. I can see the same amount of pride in Jimmy's face as he explains his plans and talks about everything he has done. I just wanted to let you guys know how much I enjoyed this video and how awesome that track looks. Thanks again.
I am very glad Travis, that's what this video is all about... bringing back warm memories. Hope you subscribe. And, thank you for your support. Go back and forward this video to your friends because the guys are planning to have more soon. Thanks again my friend.
What an incredible track! Just top-notch work. Thanks for sharing this. Used to race these when I was a kid and this brought back some great memories. Thanks again!
The memories is what it's all about John! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Truly unbelievable amount of detail on this track - even under the bleachers.... and every single car restored to perfection. This is art.
Thank you
I believe it was the Christmas of 1968 at 7 years old I was so excited to get a Revell 1/32 scale set which came with a Mustang & Camaro. What a fantastic hobby and an amazing layout you have. From one Michigander to another fantastic mini doc!
The video seems to always bring back cool memories like this video did for you Tim. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
The most beautiful track I have ever seen! Magnificent!! Congratulations Jimmy and thank you for all your incredible work!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Daschyt. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Wow. Jimmy Attard is so nice. I love slot cars. Always wanted to go upscale from HO but never did. If Jimmy was my neighbor, I'm sure I would have. I still have over 100 HO slot cars and Aurora track from the T-jet days.
I first learned about Jimmy and his track on Slot Car Illustrated about 17 years ago. I was looking to get into this hobby and a quick search of the net took me to SCI. I am enjoying this immensely. Thank you
That is unbelievable detail. I was still a kid in the mid 60's, and my uncles were on the back end of their slot careers, but they had a league in my grandpa's basement, it was a huge 6 slot banked figure eight (with a tunnel) for competitive racing. My grandpa was an electrician and built it...easily 30 ft long by approx 10 ft wide. It was crazy, cars were so fast and if they fish tailed too much in turns would bump the other cars and send them flying.
Steve I'm so glad it brought up warm memories ....as far as I'm concerned that's what it's all about ....hopefully the kids that race on my track will get that warm glow 20 years from now ....thanks for the kind words my friend
Oh ....like n share the video.... Share the glow!
What an Awesome job and attention to detail!! Thanks for sharing!
"But hey ,i'm happy,i'm happy"Best qoute.
Find something like this can make you happy.
Wow! This is really cool. I am into slot cars, started with the old Aurora T-Jets back in the day, Carrera digital now. The only thing more impressive than the scenery, the electronic wizardry, the dedication to the pursuit of racing realism is his passion for sharing it with friends and family. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.
Thanks for the nice words Doug. th-cam.com/video/osfRVghOgVA/w-d-xo.html
I had 1st a Strombecker 1/32 layout and replaced it with a Revell 1/32 set.

This is an incredible video. I raced 1/24 scale as a teenager and those were some of the best times. Dad and I rewound our motors etc to make them faster. I’m deeply impressed with your track and dedication to the slot car sport. Well done mate.
Thank you Cad, I appreciate your kind words my friend
That place is just magical. The whole thing fills me with nostalgic, 70s vibes. I would have loved to have a go on that as a kid. Bravo sir, fascinating passion project.
Looks like you’ve made a special place for a lot of people over the years.
Thanks for the nice words Ozzy. . Hope you subscribe. Go back and send it your friends because the guys plan on doing more videos. Thanks again my friend.
Thank you for the great video. What a great track and what a wonderful uncle!
Thank you for the very kind words
Wow - just great to see all the work that went in to this. I also loved seeing his work area, Thanks so much for posting this.
I thought it was a bit awkward, Resenbrink, when Ryan asked about my work area. Glad you liked it. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Great work as always Jimmy! Thank you again for the invite to come race all those years ago...
Can't wait to start trading plastic and paint with the others on your track this coming November. Defiantly need some racing footage uploaded to TH-cam soon, people are hungry for more of the track:)
From one modeler to another thanks for commenting....subscribe and we can go to lunch with Ryan when he shoots a Lunch King video. You'd make a great taste tester!
Always loved full detail tracks. Great ideas, love the lane spacing, clever AC solution, but most of all, the scenery. Also love the big tracks, since my parents owned one in the 60's. But my heart is less speed, more detail.
JA & LK thanks for a great video!! Very much impressed with all the hard work and the thinking that went in for the pre-planning of all this work!! I raced slot cars in the '60s and '70s and periodically will get a set out and race them. Thanks for bringing back a lot of memories!!
Wow , I got into slot cars back in 1965 . Could not afford but the cheapest but had a lot of fun . Great to see old dudes are still very serious about them Awesome facility Jimmy has built and continues to promote the sport .
We are probably the same age 25vrd48! I got my first track in 63. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Fascinating, thank you for sharing... Never grow old!
Very glad you liked the racetrack Don! Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
What a wonderful track, and what amazing stories!
Uncle Jimmy is a true craftsman and historian who has built something unique.
I'd love to see a track like this up close and personal, it'd be amazing!
Amazing! I had an HO 4 lane track with lap counters, if someone fell off track, each driver had a button that cut off power to all cars, we put the crashed car back on track, give his car a 1 lap penalty, push button again to restore power to everyone and the race continued. My setup had trees and buildings but nothing like your setup. Looks like a 60’s 70’s racetrack and I love the GT40, Ferrari 330 P4. You really know your stuff. Loved seeing your setup, brings back the memories.
Jeff...Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Thank you for this episode! This is a dream track. This is a hobby I have always wanted to get into, but I've never been fortunate enough to have the space. It's nice to see a fellow Michigander with the same passion for vintage racing. Wishing you many happy laps!!!
Tiim I too am in Michigan (Grand Rapids). My track scenery is a bit more simply as it's in a temporary state and you could have a setup using a kit like Scalextric. The track is a bit more narrow than other brands so takes up less space and you can run 6 cars in one lane. You can press a button at lane changer tracks for passing and blocking as described in this video.
That’s fantastic! I spotted his old bottles on the shelf too!👍👍
Good eye :)
@@lklunchking1674 yeah I’m 52 now and I’ve collected since I was 11 yr old. Still have my collection of stonies. 👍👍
I went to one of these when I was 15 years old. Spent 6 hours at the place. Its one of the MAIN memories I have when I look back on myself.
I had the best time ever. The guy running it was super nice. It is one of my very very very best memories as a kid. I will never forget it.
That is the most awesome racetrack I've ever seen. Thank you and especially your uncle for showing it. Now that I'm getting ready to retire I would love to start trying to build one myself. I have some special needs grandchildren that would benefit from helping build it and I know from racing the cars. Thank you again for showing us that awesome track.
Ray I have a list of SN kids that loved running cars here. It sort of levels the playing field a bit for them! Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the nice comment my friend.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It’s an inspiration for me now that I’m starting to build my own track and with the intention to be as realistic as possible. I’ll see all your videos. Your are the master of the scenery. Regards from Spain.
Thank you for sharing, that was awesome! Your uncle seems like a good man! The track....I mean layout,is incredible, very impressive work and detail,true craftsmanship!And the video was top shelf!
Some how I keep missing your uncle's website though. Thanks again Keith
m.th-cam.com/video/osfRVghOgVA/w-d-xo.html
Love the layout. I'm getting my grandson into slot cars. Its such a great hobby.
Ryan & Uncle Jim That was fantastic seeing this layout ..I truly was hoping this was a 3 hour video..I have to see more of every foot of this track.I also love all the Lil things about race tracks .Here in Calif. Nothing lasts.All the Tracks I loved as a kid and an Adult are gone! Riverside Raceway.Ontario motor Speedway an now Calif speedway in Fontana . Gone!
Back to urs plz do more videos? Or have U ? Thank U again Ryan for posting this & Jim ..For creating this ..U must have been an engineer at Ford.
Again THANK U BOTH !! D.W. CALIF..
Well DWNNN, we are probably from the same Era sir! Great to feel like a kid again. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Incredible! It would have been cool to see it in operation when it worked back in the day. I guess time wears away all cars, including slot cars! Nice static piece to show off to visitors!
Willy look up the racing footage on other segments of the Lunch King channel. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
Thanks for sharing your uncle’s slot car track. As a side note, the Eldon Selectronic racing set that he mentioned works exactly on the same principles of diode control. Genius!
WONDERFUL... Dan you and very few others can remember that short lived run of Eldon Selectronic tracks! You are showing your age my friend. Thanks for the kind words
The amount of “free time” this guy had to do this is just mind blowing in so envious of the time he had to mess around
All the tools, equipment, materials, the cost must be off the charts, and Jimmy's engineering abilities reminds me of my dad who used to be a mechanical engineer who designed aircraft engines. Engineering or the mechanical is not my thing, to say the least, so people who work in such fields always impress me. Great stuff.
Truly Frank... I used scrap wood for everything but the track surface which I bought new. Counting the router bits and tape, just the track alone not counting scenery, I don't think I have more than $300 IN GETTING the track built and running. Plz go back and subscribe, and share this video with friends. Thanks again my friend!
The passion and energy spent to create this is truly special !
WOW !! AS A 8 LANE 255 FT BLUE KING OWNER THAT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Love how your lanes are more like real racing and takes more skill to drive please post a full track with racing.
Glad you liked it Tom! There are video of racing here on the Lunch King channel. Thanks for the nice comment. If you haven't already, go see the other segments the guys did. If you like them forward to your friends and please subscribe!
This looks like it went from passion to obsession. Either way, this track and collection is simply amazing and you would have no shortage of friends who want to be with you.
Absolutely fantastic! Amazing layout, great detail, with so much passion for the hobby.
Cheers,
Jeff (Garage Maker Guy)
GMG Thanks for your nice words....Forward this to your friends because the guys said they will be doing more video of the track soon. Thanks again for the kind comment my friend.
Amazing layout. You can really see that jimmy’s passion has been translated into the level of detail this track has. I only wish I had the space to get back into the hobby.
I miss my uncle Jim if he was around today I think he would have built something like this too. Very nice video Lunch King!
