Watching this video brought back some great childhood memories!! Almost takes you back in time as though you were going through Sears’ Christmas Wishbook catalog searching for the slot car section!! Looking forward to more of your videos in the future!!

This took me way back. I remember when I had one of these '80's Tyco tracks with the basic pieces. Then my dad and I bought a whole bunch of extra track pieces and a few more cars. I am still trying to remember which Tyco set we had bought initially. It might have been the simple figure 8 shape with 2 cars. There was another brand back then that had different cars. One brand had the little metal peg at the bottom to keep it on track. The other brand didn't have the little peg, and your car could switch lanes.

[@Patriot_Hobbies]

Yeah, my first set was a Dukes of Hazzard.

[@Wibstozbin]

I had to get the black Trans Am car because Smokey and the Bandit was really popular then.@@Patriot_Hobbies

[@Patriot_Hobbies]

Where is this at? And thank you for watching.

[@marcmillis8461]

Surprised there was no mention of Monogram, Strombecker, Revell, Cox, etc.

[@Patriot_Hobbies]

I have another video that touches on Monigram and Revell nascar slots. But, there so much history in the early decades. I’m actually working on a Eldon and Strombecker video.

[@jeffnorbert1871]

Pretty sure that's an error as to Terry Flynn acquiring the Tyco brand. He did acquire the rights to what remained of the Lifelike brand. Tyco is still a Corporation in operation but they sold the slotcar portion of the business to Mattel.

[@Patriot_Hobbies]

Yes sir, I had commented that I had made a mistake on that topic earlier in the thread. I realized my error the next day. I should learn how to pin the comment.

[@jeffnorbert1871]

Seeing you at 499 subs! One away from 500! Congratulations Matt!
