And to think, the world record on that type of track is at 1.286 seconds. . . .

love this stuff

Suit and ties, not in my crowd

Never seen a track this large before... wow. Everyone loves super speedways I don't see why this wouldn't be a huge hit even today especially if there were banked turns! Very cool!

We would go to BROOKLYN and race the slot cars.. 1970s

They sound like real cars, amazing.

Those wheels are not controlling anything 😅

This King Street Hammersmith track was my venue, I loved the place, such fun, and raced most nights, they soon gave up on the silly steering wheels and used hand controllers. Was a bit expensive per hour. I bought my lovely orange "Stinger" there, new, in 66 and have it to this day, my best toy ever! Great to find this video! Thanks.

I would never wear a suit and tie to play a kids game

A "steering wheel"? Yeah, right...:LOL.

Papper från postern fastnade på hans ena skridskoskena, varför det blev tvärstopp på den...resten är historia. Jag var 8 år och såg det på TV. VM i färg ffg (vi fick TV2 1969 och färgteve 1970 i Sverige)! Det var också i detta VM vi slog Sovjet ffg.

Det här måste ha gått i repris? Har för mig jag såg det på TV -76.

Normal Djurgårdsnivå.

Pansarplåt!

Let's race!

The steering wheels do nothing!

I never raced on a 1/24 oval and it looks like fun.

🤐

Rolle stoltz sa live Tumba ar den ende som kan gora 4 missar av tre mojliga

Lot of fun, I remember !

Wonderful wonderful

Nice

I really cannot understand the need for steering wheel when its already running following the slot. For immersion? haha

They had one of these at Fort Campbell, Kentucky that I used to visit regularly.

子供の頃自宅に似たようなのあったな

Sim racing is a lot better these days.

one thing i was taught as a kid never ever push down on the cars like this guy did that ruins the brushes on the front end 🤷‍♂️🤔

I still have my 1966 Slot Car and controller that I purchased and raced it in Columbus, Georgia on a weekend leve

I never realized there was a dress code

A group of us have two tracks. Both are digital with computerized race software. Digital cars allow up to ten cars at a time on the same track. I had a track as a kid. Back then it was two tracks and only two cars at a time. Now with software it keeps account of your position, calls for fuel stops, maintenance, tires. If you ignore stopping in the pits you get your car slowed down. With digital you can set speed, braking, acceleration. Today's slots are no way near the tracks of the 60s. Digital tracks allows for lane changes for passing. Every car is individually controlled even if everyone is racing on the same track.

Pretty cool! How did the steering work? Make it faster through the turns?

1991 i found out about slot cars....figured out how to short out the track and made a 80mph ramp 🤣😬 had alot of sheetrock holes 🤘🏁🤣🍃

Only rich people

I raced at home with my *AFX* cars and track in the 70's

I play this when i was child. That fun

what is the steering wheel for ?

in 1966 slot model cars were slow... today slot model cars were so very fast speedy

Tell me about this raceteack from england the name is scalesteic 1964 by GT 40 from ford motor car company

Why do they have steering wheels?

I did that as a kid in the 60s, BTW the starting line isn't at a bias. The outside track is longer than the inside track

The coats and ties -not so much!

These things have steering? Never knew.

I have the lap counter, in rough shape but all there, anyone interested?

Дебилы :)))

This can’t be 1966 they are using slot cars designed off a 1969 Corvette.

this was fun you could have fun walk into a place had this put your car down and race

Ummm..why are they steering when the track steers the cars? Ummmmm

We had a couple of these track places in our town in the mid 60s they only lasted about a year or two.
