Slot cars. Lets see what you have.

I had no idea these were still around. One of my first jobs back in the late 1960's was helping build a 1/24th scale track in Delray Beach, Fl. very similar to the ones in the link at the bottom ( Slot Car City ) The hottest one back then was the La Cucaracha, of course you had to drop a Mura motor in it. I went on to winding, balancing and epoxing my own armatures which were very strong but usually only lasted 20 minutes but won many races and usually came off the track smoking or caused a small fire. Progressed on to building piano wire chassis cars and won many races. Man, the hours on Friday night and Saturdays I spent at the track are one of my best memories.

Thanks for the blast from the past.
