This man matured, but never outgrew being a kid and I think that's awesome

This the prime example of doing what love with passion

he's so cute with his wife "I have to let her win sometimes otherwise she gets bored" aww haha

When he passes someone has to dedicate an actual NASCAR track in his honor.

This old man is prime example of how everyone should be when they grow into old age🤗🤗🤗 God bless him and his family

I love how he is so old but having a hobby like that makes him happy! He’s a man I can respect he likes it so much

Buzz is a great man living his dream, and sharing it with others. Everyone wins. It doesn't get any better than that. Thank you, Buzz!

I used to go to these slot car tracks in the Detroit area in the late 60s. My dad used to take me. It was so much fun. Buzz is GREAT and it's so cool to see the hobby still exists. God bless you Buzz!

I was a kid in Clintonville, Ohio in the mid 1960s. There was a slotcar emporium, Tom Thumb Raceway, right down the street. One day I went in with my slot car, bought a half hour of tack time on one of the tracks and then almost immediately discovered I had forgotten my hand controller. It was at home on the desk in my bedroom. I ask the proprietor to stop my track time, rent it to someone else and I would be back in a while to resume the half hour. I had about 29 minutes remaining. He wouldn't do it. He would _not_ do it. What I learned that day was that an adult does not want to screw a 12 year-old out of half of his allowance. The kid might very well make you pay double via pranks and various tomfoolery.

I dont understand how people can dislike this vid.

Originally from nyc. Still have 42 slot cars..in 4 different sizes..now in ky. There is only one slot club here. Old fun great times. I been to this place in nyc. I'd go back just to play a full day for old time sales. ... would love to race with my dad, my son, and my grandson.

His wife looks 30 years younger than him

This place is truly an American treasure here in Brooklyn New York thousands of us grew up going here at least once or twice a month to see that this place is still here open for business in 2020 is nothing short of a miracle so so many wonderful memories of being seven or eight years old and cycling time with my friends and my father at this place ........

Two things put these places out of business, two things that were roughly tied together. One was it just got too expensive. Another was that technology came along and the cars got so fast that the "driver" was almost not controlling them. Just turn on the power, let them go and watch them whip around the track like lightning bolts.

We used to have a slot car track in the mall near my house. Always loved going there with my grandpa

He found his passion. If only we could all do that

Slot car racing is so fun I wish there was more tracks around like there was in the 60s it's a shame.

We visited this track 2 years ago and finally met Buzz! I've been around slot cars since I was 15 39 this year and it was a dream come true to go to buzzarama! While there we ran some rentals on the black track and talked with buzz and his wife.. I was able to buy a clear body in which buzz signed! To someone like myself or any other slot car racer this man and place will forever be an iconic place!

I never even knew that this was a thing 🤔

I used to race slot cars from 1965-67. I used the cars I bought in the stores. The older kids and adults would solder brass tubing into chassis, use "rewind" motors, special tires and make some really fast cars.

He deserves the immortal pass

I had the honor of meeting him in person back in 1989 before going out to California.

I went there many times as a kid growing up there in Brooklyn I always wondered if it was still around Thanks for the bringing back some good memories

I was from the neighborhood and went there almost everyday in the 80's into the late 90's. The HO track was a lot of fun and I had a tackle box to keep the cars and parts in! We put a tacky glue on the tires to take the turns faster. I went there so much Buzzy almost showed me the basement of the unimaginable but a customer interrupted that one and only chance!!! Got Bless Buzzarama!!

Went there many times as a kid with my brother amazing memories

My father and I belonged to a slot car racing league here in Los Angeles in 1967. I was 10 and every Wednesday night we would go racing at a place like this. The league was made up of a bunch or aero space engineers from my fathers company. We also had a 4 lane track in our garage. I would take slot cars over any kind of video game. During the 60’s slot cars were very popular. Very nice story about this man and his wife and his passion for slot cars.

I raced slot cars, 1/24 scale when I was 12, in 1965. So much fun. My first one was ready to go, but after a while I scratch built one including rewinding the engine. My design was a little quirky but it was fast.

This is Slot Car Heaven!

I still have all my slot cars, nowhere to race em in Kansas anymore 😒

I can respect a man’s passion

Wow what a nice story I would love to go there and bring my kids they and I would love it glade you where able to stay doing what you love not many people get that chance good for you.

I wanted to go right before the pandemic hit and then obviously couldn't. I thought about Buzz-a-Rama a day ago and learned he passed away last Spring two weeks after his wife contracted the virus from him. They say he couldn't bear to be without her while he was recovering. Found a forum thread and the obituary all about it. There's an article entitled "The Totally Preventable Death of a Brooklyn Icon" about Buzzy's wife Dolores being a health nut but against vaccination. We all have choices and live with the outcome of the choices, so I won't pass judgement... but it sure would've been great for both of them to still be here with their loved ones and Buzzy further sharing his hobbies for the slot cars.

Slot care was my favorite toy to play with when I was little now a days it's hard to find them😃

Me: Can we have Forza Horizon Mom: no we have Forza Horizon at home *Forza Horizon at home

Protect the child that lives inside of you😇

This made me cry that WONDERFUL sweet man

Man I still have my car from when I was a kid so man memories

Now here's a story for the ages, one to warm the heart❤😊

My God what a blast from the past i remember being so young 7 years old i could'nt see over the counter, My brother Peter would always take me along we lived on East second st. in Brooklyn, Very happy to see your still open Buzzy. PS your wife used to call me Monkey because i would climb up to see over the counter those were the day's had so much fun God Bless You and your family,Thank you for all the great fun.

Lmfao at 0:37 reminds me of uncle Leo from Seinfeld. "Hey we went to buzzarama, we had fun"

What a quaint gentleman. Feels like the grandfather I never had.

His wife is awesome. She hates what he got into but loves and respects him enough to be supportive anyway. What a lovely couple.

I have a slot car track. Not exactly the same and a little beat up but most of it still works

There is actually one in southeastern michigan as well!

Loved those tracks when I was a kid...We all had our very own race cars....Good memories...

My town still has one of those. Its pretty fun with the family

He reminds me of one of those old guys who would die within a week if they stopped doing what they loved.

when he walks he look angry

I'm Franks age and as a kid I lived at the track in my neighborhood. I now have one of the plastic 2-lane tracks in a spare bedroom. Fastest GT40 cars on the planet, hahaha.

This man is 85 years old.

That’s passion bless him

My family lived across the street from buzzarama, my dad took my sisters and myself there back in the 80's. Church ave brooklyn Ny. Such a awesome place, I took my kids when they were younger

Honestly, that looks fun. I wish I live near the area

This is sooo inspiring god bless him

This is very wholesome

Wonderful Buzz and Dolores!

Thanks for taking my mind off the coronavirus!

What a great story, just think about all the kids that grew up playing there and also playing slot cars at home,I had scalextric and TCR in the 70s and 80s and it was so much fun and I really loved the TCR and I had a custom Chevy Van with the porthole windows and it kicked ass.kids these days would look at slot cars and just walk away laughing at it but it was huge when I was young...ah , the good ol'days!😉

Buzz is gone, RIP, so is his lovely wife Deloris. Gone but not forgotten.

Yes. Slow down when turning. Learned it in bf1

There’s one in Mt holly , NJ also! Good fun!

This is my grandparents best friend! Well they passed away but we use to go there a lot!

3:58 *NOICE*

My uncle Albert Rescigno worked there in the 60s.

GOD BLESS ANYONE LIKE THIS MAN, NO MATTER HOW OLD THEY MAY BE, THEY NEVER GROW UP!!!!!!!!!

He is so pure, he reminds me of stan lee :'(

This guy is still a kid I love it 😂

I love my Elders! ❤️

IVE BEEN THERE!

R.I.P. Buzz...

An update for anyone interested: his sons had a cash-only sale this past weekend to liquidate the venue and close it for good. Was really hoping they could've carried the tradition but one can't blame them. When Neil Padron of Petland Discounts died, his family decided to close due to online competition and flagging sales; when Michael Halkias of Grand Prospect Hall died his wife sold to a developer but the yearly taxes were astronomical I hear; etc etc. These days, fewer heirs want to inherit or carry on the business but part of the charm of these businesses were the presence of the originators anyway. Time goes on I guess...

Now, that’s what I call passion.

I Love this person ! ♥️

Where is this I want to bring my son there

I love this story

it only proves that a secret to a long life is to be happy and continue what you love to do. 😇

🤔 The 'friend' is hittin' that 🤣

Kid : I'm gonna beat you buzz Buzz: Ok BoOmEr

Best hot wheels track ever

It is great to see those American race tracks still up and running. I would love to have one in my basement. I have become disabled and can't go out anymore. It would be a great way to spend my time (when I can). I still have many of my original cars from the 1950's. Great going Buzz.

So wholesome

Bless You My Friend!

I just love seeing people so happy but not as happy like this man

Got a slot car ad at the beginning of the video🙄

This puts a smile on my face

Miss slot car racing in Az. Glad to see theres still one out there.

Love what you do, do what you love.

I wanna travel to that place. Now I have a reason to want to go to New York City.

I have relatives that live in Brooklyn. This gives me a reason to go visit them.

I love it, Slot car racing should be in every town.

Rest up

Looks great

3:11 that is one huge mole in the forehead.

A passion is the fuel to live. Buzz rules.

Turns out Buzz and his wife, Delores, both died. Delores and Buzz both got covid-19 in April. Delores died and Buzz initially survived, but died soon afterwards of a heart attack. The business just shut down for good.

What a great video.

Awesome story ! There was a slot car place my parents took me to in the 80s on Jericho Tpke just west of Rt. 110 out on LI , forgot the name but had great times there , next time im in BK im def stopping at this place :)

I love it!!! Absolutely awesome!!

Way to go Buzz. When you have the passion, go with it.
