I had no idea this kind of thing went on! This is absolutely AWESOME! I love the fact that three are a bunch of guys from diverse backgrounds hanging out and enjoying a pretty damn cool hobby.
As a kid (1960s) I was able to visit my local slot car center that had not 1 or 2 but 3 very HUGE and different 10 wides slot car tracks! Must have been about 100 yards in total of each track! ! had this incredible "LaMans" wall of death! The slot car track literally turned a total of 180 degrees within a 20 foot distance! It was something to behold! Friday and Saturday nights were for the groups of kids/parents that formed leagues! All manner of slot cars getting destroyed and kids/parents crying their eyes out at losing or even worse...flipping their cars into oblivion! It was a great time to be in the slot car hobby! This would be such a great opportunity for someone willing to grow the market! Kids of all ages just LOVE this stuff!
This is so cool! I loved slot car racing back in the mid 60's. I was a teen and there were older men with all sorts of cars and kits, parts and controllers. As I recall we had 24th and 32nd scale cars. I know of no slot car parlors like this around where I live but I'll see if I can find one and try my hand at it again. The older gentlemen always beat me and as a kid I remember getting a little over excited during races and they would gently pull me back from the "edge." Everyone was so nice. These guys are having some serious fun. Wonderful!
This is awesome! Spent a far amount of my teens racing, building, customizing slot cars. We had several tracks where I lived in Southern California, 1964-72.

It does my old heart good to see the variety of men hanging out and having fun together.

There's something heartening in knowing that slot-car racing still exists.
Glad to see a lot of people with passion in old hobbies keeping them alive
I had no idea stuff like this existed, at this scale. Fricking awesome!
My grandpa used to take me to a place just like this in the 60's! You guys are having a blast! Never stop!

The memories I have racing slot cars back in the day. Thank you.
As a man who collects hobbies, I can see this becoming a part of my life. Thank you for sharing, it was a great watch.+
Keeping the flame alive, never dreamed a slot car could be so damn fast.
what a fantastic hobby. I wish I could have thought of doing this when I was young. great way to spend time with like minded friends.

I hope those guys are still there having fun. It i a nice warm feeling to see a bunch of guys just spending time doing something they enjoy
Brings back good memories of slot car racing as a kid! Great video!
This looks soooo fun! Slot cars are a great hobby.
I still have my vintage slot cars from the 70's and remember the place just like this. Just good, old-fashioned fun.
Love it! Brings back great memories...
