Are you talking about the "slot" cars toy? they run on a plastic track with
metal rails imbedded into it? I am not talking about the HO scale that is
around today but a larger scale car. Each person has a speed controller and you
"hope" you make it around the curves? That bring back some great memories of my
childhood when there were Race shops that had large layouts with multi tracks(
up to 6,side by side) and you bring your home built car to compete. I never had
the money to build one but spent hours watching and helping recover those cars
the "lost it in the curves"
Thanks again for sharing your fine models Fredrick!!
