Quoted from onemoresean:I used to love slot car racing. I just pulled these out of the attic.
There’s still a TCR track that I need to dig out.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Was just sorting through the basement junk and I'll admit it, got into slot racing. Ran wing cars at local track. Grew up when the slot car craze hit in the 60s. These were just taken to the stupid level.

Those are what I knew as strap motor cars. What I ran went maybe 50% of what these do. It was entertaining during the 90s to race the wing cars when you had a good group of guys that didn't cheat too much. But one day went to the track and place was empty.
The other cars from the 60s, like the Cox cars and the Classics can fetch a good price these days. But with this thread being about the toys we liked, the other one I liked were the Cox planes. The smell of the fuel and the racket they made.
