Slot Drags Racing 1/24th Burnouts in Slo-Mo

[@barrybebenek8691]

I’m 51 and kids today will never understand the fun of these slot cars, that we had in the 70’s. Thanks for bring back memories. 🇨🇦👍🏼

[@danbates6285]

You know I completely forgot about all the fun we had with slot cars until I saw this video. Every Saturday morning EVERYONE headed to the neighborhood track. I started to remember about the first time I bought a pair of candies for my car. Sooooooo Much FUN and who could make their car the fastest. The kids today would look at you like you were from Mars. They're missing out !!!!!

[@Adhtine311]

@@danbates6285 I’m 13 and I love the idea of slot cars my dad introduced it to me and he’s car crazy I think it’s pretty cool I’m gonna start doing it

[@jellyfish942]

I’m curious Barry, why would kids today not understand?

[@aussiedave1962]

No, Barry , you're right, kids today WILL never know the fun and enjoyment that things like a simple slot car or model train set or a billie cart or a tree house or any of that sort of stuff can bring and that's very sad. But, I'm turning 59 next month and the frame for the table for my AFX Aurora tack is coming along quite nicely. And then we start going backwards in birthdays lol.

[@williamb2854]

I am 63 and way back in the early 70s I remember spending hours at my buddy's basement with our slot cars. Brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@tehscope9422]

I am 60 and I had an unfinished basement , we set up a road course , we used every piece of track we had it took 4 power pack's to power the entire track , hey Will B. if you were there you would know what we were smoking beside tires . Ah the good old day's when 12 pack of beer and some Afgan Black Hashish was all you needed , I can still remember most of it. HAHA . I learned the hardway not to paint my cars with autobody paint , I sadly watched my 69 Charger body slowly dissolved , never happen again .

[@edwardregemann9410]

Willys and Henry J dragsters! Those New Zealander's are truly "Car People."

[@debbiramsey4603]

Thank you. For the slow mo. The old school style cars even with classy paint jobs is my school. I'm 69

[@jimmyb1559]

My older brother got a Strombecker slot car set in the 60’s. I used to sit and watch him race for hours. From then on we would get a slot car set for Christmas every year. I’m 64 and I still have slot cars and I still get a thrill whenever see a video about them. But I’ve never seen anything like yours before! Thanks 😊

[@dominicpetruzzelli3134]

I remember as a kid in the 60s we had these cars, not so detailed as these, we used to go to a place and rent a spot on the track for an hour.

[@caturlifelive]

Awesome story sir

[@4406bbldb]

Yep they were cool .i know a 60 year old that has a big track in his basement today, totally addicted.

[@jerrysmith7166]

On the super shops car , Don Garlits I 🤔 was awesome seeing the frame flex and all! I live right down the road from big daddy Don’s car museum

[@charliedee9276]

Like others said, thanks for the cool memories. I'm 58 and used spend hours in my neighbor's basement racing on the HO slot car track mounted to the wall in an double decker L pattern.

[@N-Scale]

That is the coolest slot car video I have ever seen. Mike

[@edwardniel655]

Ok, I actually watched the whole video start to finish. I liked it! Cool

[@michaelslack4937]

All the attributes of real drag racing only scaled down, and blindingly fast...what's not to like!? Well done gentlemen!

[@mickysmithiii1213]

I had a slot dragger when I was a kid that'd do a scaled quarter mile in .890 seconds. It was sick. We had 3 feet of foam padding at the end of the strip to keep it from smashing through the wall. The good ol days

[@adamfreeborn2969]

Thats fuckin amazing.i didnt even know these cars existed.the top fuel was the most realistic with the tires puffing up and leavin marks.awesome to watch guys

[@MadMotorDoc]

Topolino's , Henry J's so many great cars of my day. Great videos...look so real... with a different backdrop ( Atco - Maplegrove - Englishtown ) dragway you could mistake it for the real thing. Grat Job !!!

[@murlhaggard]

Great shots! I didn't realize the scale tires expand like the actuals when spinning up

[@endall6783]

Yes that really got me to I would really like to see this come back. I think it would help some kids if you could get them off things with a screen.

[@brianpreston8483]

I didn't either

[@tint661]

Thanks for showing this video. Nice cars. They have tire shake like the full size cars.

[@paulhansen7667]

There was an oval slot car track in a corner spot at a local strip center when I was a kid in the 70's. I didn't have the money to even go inside but I would watch through the windows and thought how cool it would be to have a set up like that. I never saw a drag strip with slot cars. Thanks for the video.

[@immanutt4442]

sorry you had no money ... owner should've let you go on in ... shame

[@MacOne53]

Loved slot cars in the 60s, still enjoy them now.

[@danceswithwolves7115]

Im just impressed how you replicate American drag raceing. Henry J. Anglia and more! Enjoyed this so much.

[@brysonproductionsmlbthesho636]

As a kid I was always amered with drag racing I have my Hot Wheels. But this is only another level so realistic the shaking of the cars and the smoke so cool keep up the great work enjoyed it.

[@danbates6285]

Sooooooo Much fun. The kids today are missing out !!!!!!

[@tomgorney8868]

That Willys with the wheels up _____gave me a Chubby--.Im a old slot car guy from the 60s----------love this.

[@nhragold1922]

Pretty cool to watch the tires grow like a real car.

[@flooffluff5927]

This is super duper cool

[@jerrymeeuwse4957]

Really cool video. As a kid I really got into slot cars. I had a set that had two dragsters and a lit up Christmas tree. The cars had a swivel thing on them where the old style woven brushes contacted the track. This allowed them to pull wheelies without losing power.. Then we really got into building our own cars. Knock off hubs, rewinding the motor's, anything to make them go faster. I still remember the tire material being called Stalastic. It was the same material Super Balls were made of. They really gripped the track.

[@daviddennison4287]

Extremely realistic and super cool stuff 👌 😎

[@elebeu]

We used to do this in the 70s with our standard slotcars and WD40. The spinning tires would leave burnout marks on the softened plastic track.

[@archstanton_live]

We used to over-oil the armatures on hour HO cars so they would leave little trails of smoke.

[@sammoore9120]

Most definitely cool! Watch that rail closely, you can see the tires grow under the centrifugal forces just like the full size ones! I’m a little confused by all the foamies (tires). Back in my day we would have used candies (a silicone tire) or white circles (a soft foam tire with a super thin coating of silicone) for extra traction are those no longer available?

[@killer-kane]

This is amazing, you actually get tyre expansion like you do on the full size vehicles.

[@barcelonabrown9907]

Superb layout and vid. Thanks from the states.

[@mainelyhistory8092]

Never seen this before. Very cool

[@carlweidman3026]

Best video I've seen in a long time very very very cool

[@sizzorjack]

Cool. I like that kind of stuff!

[@AnnaAnnaYes]

Truly a Lost Art...

[@daviddntait]

AnnaAnnaYes, This is actually pretty popular at the Speedshop i used to work at here in Hawaii! Super fun to cut lights with your buddies!

[@thercsniper1138]

ive always been into HO scale, but im going over to this, 1/24th scale....hard plastic bodies....this is the shiznit. theres 2 tracks within 45 minutes of me and ive been visiting, I think im hooked....

[@sheniquemedina5685]

Not lost..very much alive.

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

We have one in our small West Virginia town called Hinton if we have one trust me there every where

[@tylerwitcher7079]

I'm 23 and we are trying to start a 1/32 scale track, in my local town they're so much fun.

[@donaldshannon6541]

I'm 72 and I had a lot of fun in the 60's with slot cars .. our burnouts were mostly done with trombone slide oil -- left a nice sticky residue -

[@jeffmusgrave6467]

My dad used to take me every Friday night out to the Cliff House in San Francisco and there was a huge Slot Car place the memories of me and my father slot car racing are priceless!!!!!!!!!!!😊😄😚

[@HenauderTitzauf]

That lil J taking off and dancing down the track looks very familiar. Great vlog, thanks for sharing. I’ll sub and high five.

[@tb_fifty3]

Sweet vid! Just wondering what camera you used?

[@DrewVeeNZ]

My friend actually shot and edited the vid.. he was just using his Samsung s6 i think from memory

[@stevejames6246]

Thanks making me SMILE😁❤👍

[@ACF6180T]

Wow!!!! Pretty neat Thanks for the video. The Henry J was the COOLEST!!!!!!!!!!!

[@slotcargene1]

That Fuel Coupe at the start is badass!

[@jonnun7713]

I know this video is old, but I love how you guys do it! I absolutely love the meats on the back! Send some over here to the US, would you?

[@jefferybeeker9901]

Were are there tracks I'm in ohio

[@richardturk7162]

Here in the US we did that in the 1960s and had a blast.

[@dano4572]

I don't know what I was THINKING! 120v AC slot cars. well, i guess I'llgo and have another beer! 120v AC slot cars!''''' water and 120vAC slot car burnouts! yah that'll work

[@endall6783]

Yeah just go get you another beer and you're end up driving after to many of them. You sound like that kind of person !!!

[@slotcargene1]

Love the Mike Sullivan Topo!

[@timcanizares5240]

What is that stuff in the burnout box... I just acquired a 1/4 mile track for my son.... he's been on me to set it up

[@jimthomas777]

I'm confused , are these right hand drive or left hand drive cars , You know in case of accidents , I want to know which side to pull the driver out , That Dart looked real as centrifugal force raise the tires up

[@danhodgkiss9798]

Holy crap these are awsome. I saw the video with the grey wiilys gasser also. I play with ho cars but I think I want to get into these also. Can I have a link to some info on how to build these and where to start lol.

[@sunrisesurfbum]

These cars look real!

[@OutlawMercenary]

and the liquid doesn't effect the bodies or paint? very cool vid. love the hard bodies.

[@drewvessey2980]

The liquid not so much...the fire that can be caused from it ..wel thats another story lol =)

[@billyballard9072]

Slot car tracks in 1966 in Navy. San Diego. Fun fun

[@jajonjohnson3865]

That last dragster was so lifelike

[@roguewarr4662]

so cool .and fun to watch

[@mikedill7378]

Something you mite like....in 1955-1960 Hot rod magazine....they had made there own tube frames for slot cars...this is the part you mite like...there mount for the bushes up front under the car but...hinged 3/4 way back on the frame....so the car can keep brush contact...while doing wheelies down the track....I still have these books...so if you need...try to send you a copy.

[@striker1938]

Never seen this before awesome is it on ice

[@randybock82]

sick burnouts

[@slowpoke96Z28]

Ha! The slicks even grew on a couple just like a real burn out.

[@tjkees632]

Only complaint I have is no sound

[@mitchiegxxr350]

broem broem , there you go ;)

[@abcdef-cf2uk]

Tj Kees You wouldnt like the exhaust note.

[@hotwheel6663]

Cool as Hell!

[@immanutt4442]

dude what part of hell is ... cool ?

[@bradleypark1936]

Awesome video. How do you stop them without damage?

[@DrewVeeNZ]

The cars run into thick goo at the end of the track, almost like honey in the consistency , if that doesn't stop them then they run in to big square blocks of foam

[@arado240dd]

it makes it look realistic

[@briangoodyear5187]

Like watching the tires grow

[@lindsaymcpherson4744]

All the fun at a fraction of the cost

[@goldenboyNJ]

What camera/software, was used to get such smoth slow mo.

[@drewvessey2980]

A samsung S8 from memory .. it was a while ago

[@johnsimon1797]

Wow ! Really looks real🙂

[@rwfetterman2546]

so, what company is offering all these cool cars?

[@nathanpitman4547]

I WANNA SEE MORE!!!!

[@jimmychandler586]

Fun times I still have my corvette

[@cyngcj5347]

Curious, how do the bar-less drag cars work out?

[@DrewVeeNZ]

The front of the car is weighted up with lead.. not really that much to it.. they were made for a class that we run

[@kermann-bv8um]

Corey S. Jr. They work out fine for bracket racing but have to have weights in the front

[@shuffle_tha_clips7751]

Keith Rouse you guys dont use Springer chassis?

[@georgetraynor9959]

Good less track tune without bars

[@derekpierkowski7641]

Impressive!

[@jesseleelong2824]

I see slot car evolving into mini gas motor cars soon 🤑🤯

[@TedTucholski]

What gauge wire was the Super Shops rail chassis made out of ?.032 ?

[@nd4656]

0:32

[@vonclod123]

Really cool!

[@kermann-bv8um]

Seen using ligher fluid seems to work better with this fluid

[@drewvessey2980]

White spirits is what we use =)

[@joseantonioteixeira7974]

Veeery cool !

[@dougsmith6317]

Love the Dart

[@ThomasD1962]

Looks like fun!!!

[@masterspin7796]

Cool!

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

[@23crispin]

[@dukewolf7279]

[@BryanEddy09]

[@teddysgunshop2318]

[@georgejosephhaigh7725]

Damn!!!! The comment under me picked my two favorite car's in this video & in real life all though I have a 66 Nova for the street , at least I know they have good taste 👍👍 😈☠👍✌✌

[@billcox4351]

LOL, kind of like a burn-out in the rain.

[@michaelmaston4702]

Nice effect... just coat the tires with a little powder...burn out smoke.

[@mowguy1]

I want to do this, way cool

[@TS-tq7yb]

Love it

[@davidowens7782]

Where can I buy one of these cars

[@brianpreston8483]

Big daddy's supershop was very realistic

[@michaelsouza3582]

Anyone remember Gatewoods Hobby Shop mid 60s Turlock, California?????

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

using drag bars that are a certain length, more or less turn your rwd car into a fwd car temporarily. in theory this should mean that just making the care fwd would shed weight, and 2 wheels, meaning a potentially faster car, odd looking, if you insist on the same engine placement, or close, but still better performing, and that's what counts. aerodynamics would change, but not all that much, you could still produce a long overhang front end to support the engine and drivetrain, adding weight above the drive wheels enhancing traction, with the only missing element being the wheels and supporting structures for them.

[@mykemech]

I would love to see some one dub these with real dragster sounds.
