    Beautiful track! Brings back great memories of all the AFX/HO tracks we had back in the early 70's. We had a 40-foot drag strip and we would race for each other's cars! My buddy had this Malibu (if I recall correctly) that whipped every car in the neighborhood! Even those old Dragsters that were out! I recognize many of your cars as well, especially the older cars. Thanks for sharing.

    I used to race AFX in my neighbors basement when I was a kid in the 70's. He had about 1000 sqft of track...not sure, but it was a huge layout. The track had five or six lanes. We would go to the hobby shop and buy modified motors to make them go super fast and place metal shimmies in the magnet area to help the cars stick to track better during high speed turns. We also would buy clear car chassis and paint them to our liking. It was expensive (at the time) but it was huge fun to race. There were always trophies and some cash prizes after the races! Thanks for reminding me of that time!

      Man what a memory and many memories made in your neighbors basement as a kid. I got into slot car racing when my neighbor as well when I was a kid when we lived in cannada invited me and my dad over to his basement once club race night and let me race a 1/24 scale slot car with my dad against them during their weekly fri and sat night club racing and he had a massive 6 lane commercial tracks in his basement massive house and basement as well he had a huge road course 6 lanes and a massive 1/24 scale commercial oval track as well. And man that was fun. I was already racing real racecars at the track my parents owned but In winter nothing to do besides snowboard and he got me into slot racing and helped me build my first 1/24 scale brass chassis oval and road course cars. Lots of great memories now I have a massiveI got the exact same track exceot i added a bunch of extra track pieces and it fits on a 16 foot by 8 foot wide table barley i jept it the same style of lay out just made it way wider more turns 3 large high soeed straights and ot takes 18.7 seconds os the track record right bow for a box stock mega g plus f1 car with gel claw tires and on box stock tires and same class kf mega g plus car that track record is 19.001 seconds the gel claws made that much of a difference on same car with same driver going as fast as it possibly could around it. And I can't fit a 1)24 scale track in my racecar shop so I went with ho for right now until my shed is finished that's gonna be climate controlled with a massive 1/24 scale wood routed 6 lane oval with the Carrera digital system integrated into it so you can have all the Carrera digital features on a wood routed oval track

    In Long Island, back in the 60s, the big thing was drag racing to see who had the fastest car. Most of us had our own tracks at home and the main requirement was to have a nice long straight-away for drag racing.

    Nice layout. Back in the 80's I had a nice Tyco track covering my drop leaf dining table. Not as elaborate as yours, but still nice. I was having fun in my late 20's & 30's to fulfill a childhood dream. The neighbor boy had fun with me. As a boy in the 60's, all we had was an Aurora figure 8 with a jaguar and corvette. Had to clean the brushes all the time and oil the gears. 😎

    I started out with an HO set I got for Christmas as a kid, and had a lot of fun. I moved to 1/32 scale because I found the drivability better. With Ho scale, I was either stuck to the track or flying across the room, nothing in-between.

    Your setup is really cool. Brings back old times. I have a large box of afx track with banked turns, loops, crossovers track accessories like bridge supports and railing. Lap counters ECT... super J cars some still new in their clear package.. Gun controllers transformers. Car parts new bodies, chassis, brushes, springs, tires, gears and axles - everything in excellent shape that has been shrink wrapped sitting next to a similar box of HO trains in my garage for decades now. Must have enough car track to fill a living room. Makes me want to open and set them up. My brother and I at a young age used to wind our on armatures to see who could make the fastest car and have straight line drag races into a pillow. Fun and Happy days. Planned on giving them to my grandsons but I have none.

    If you want to add a grass look to your setup, how about artificial turf or green felt cloth like that of a pool table? I used to have a TYCO set up. Both the slotted and slotless race cars that you could change lanes by hitting a switch on th controller. The slotless car would momentarily lose their power connection to the track during lane changes, but you could block your opponent from passing you. Didn't always work, and sometimes the car lost the connection and ended up in no-man's land between the lanes. I think TYCO called it Total Control Racing. They also had glow in the dark guard rails and glow in the dark tape strips to place on the track so you could see the road layout. The cars also had headlights.

    This would've been my wet dream back in the late 70s/early 80s. 😅 Now I just play Forza Motorsport. Curious if I'd be able to get into the slot thing now that Forza exists.
    Fun video, though!

    Hi, everybody! I'm new to these channels, I'm waiting for my AFX Vertigo track to arrive! Wanted to see who's doing what with what tracks, and cars, etc...
    I have a large basement, and a bonus room... Not sure where I want to set it up, what layout I want to use, and there are so many AFX cars that I had as a kid, that I want back.
    One of them I saw in this video, and that's what made me stick around.
    32 Willies regular AFX car from the '70s.
    Loved the video, I'll check out your library.

    I also remembef AFX, TYCO's competitor. Jackie Stewart was their spokesperson in the commercials. Always thought the AFX set up was closer to the real thing. They had automatic lap counters. While TYCO was more of an entertainment set with loops, glow in the dark tracks.

    When we were kids we would put multi straight tracks together from various Tyco sets to create a long drag strip.The weren't enough power to cover the length of the strip..As men we know what to do now..someday i might get tracks again who knows..btw there was this G plus no one could beat back then

    When I was 10, I lied about my age and got a paper route. It's a wondrous time when you can blow your income on gum, comics, and AFX cars.
    I no longer have the track, but I have all my cars, tires, spare parts, and that little bottle of red motor lube in a genuine AFX carry case.

    Wait...What? You have rocks not made out of plaster? Real rocks? Who knew? Lol. Great idea! Yeah big difference in Ford GTs size. Aurora and AFX. I asked AFX if they would make larger track? For the new supersized American cars. No response yet.
