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!!!😜

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.

Your 'track and slot' layout sounds cool! What scale of both did you use? I have a sizable slot car collection from when my buddies and I used to race at a club. Haven't raced in years, but my cars are in display cases on the walls of my attic above my Lionel Christmas Village train layout. I used the older 3 rail track because it reminds me of my dads train he would set up around our Christmas tree. My kids, and now Granddaughter's love to rearrange the animals, people and cars while we watch a DVD movie that plays at the 'drive in theater' on the layout.

@@SPCLPONY slot cars were 1/32. Short track, maybe only 50-60 ft but used to test before competing on larger club tracks. Also raced 1/24 on commercial tracks. Trains were OO scale.

@@scootergeorge9576 My Christmas Village isn't much bigger. It's 4x12' with just a single oval track. There's a non functional siding track to park a few extra rail cars on. You're right though, one can only get so much entertainment out of the train running around the edge of the layout in one direction. But we find the fun in the little hidden things throughout the Village. The different people, hidden animals, gnomes, and gumball machine aliens, etc. Most of my people are 'Homies' given to me by a friend who collected them. There's a pretty lady in red and a gas pump girl in Daisy Duke shorts. There's a biker dude with a keg of beer and a fat guy sitting on a crate with a bucket of fried chicken. The animated items are pretty cool too. Mostly cheap Walmart stuff like ice skaters twirling on a frozen pond, a working popcorn cart and a Christmas tree stand. I have a handful of my favorite 60's and 70's muscle cars and trucks parked in a semi circle in front of a portable DVD player that looks like a drive-in theater next door to a collectable ceramic McDonalds. Someday I'll get one of those ski lift's with the gondola style cars and people skiing down the snowy slope, and add a second oval to run my other engine on.

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.

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.
