Aurora and AFX HO slot car racing sets were as popular with kids in the 60’s as video games are today. I remember going to my friends house and bringing my slot cars to race. We’d have a piece of plywood on top of the old pool or ping pong table in the basement on which we’d build our layout and race all day. What fun. 50 years later I’m still racing! Thank you for the video. Loved it.

I grew up as a 60's T-Jet garage race kid, saving up my $40 lawn mower money until I could buy the Aurora Stirling Moss 4 lane Thunderjet 500 Championship Race Set and I continue to this day racing HO cars only now in clubs with faster magnet cars and on professionally made tracks. The days of Aurora, Tyco and Auto World's Catalogue have long past, but the hobby has grown to become even larger, more expensive and more technically advanced but the memory from the sweet scent of Aurora's red motor oil lingers on.

Ah! The wonderful, bygone 'Days of Old'!

[@jamisonescott2300]

As Jackie Stewart said, "the closest thing to real racing."

[@sheldonbrunn6445]

That's good, I still race them today

[@rabokarabekian409]

I saw this live. i still used Riggen and Tycopro as they were faster and smoother. Imagine slot cars being the most exciting toy a boy could play with.
