Here is a Racetrack I used to operate about 50 years ago.

Jim,I used to race slot cars on a track like that out on Beltline Boulevard and then over in Cayce back in the good old days. A guy names "Bunny" Graham operated it. They called him "Bunny" because of his huge ears. He also had a HUGE heart. He really was good to all us kids. Thanks for sharing the picture. Brought back some really great memories.Tim

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Hey Jim,I still have my Champion Sidewinder engine with cobalt magnets in it . that was my hobby in the off season in the early to middle 60s. I had a home wound motor that would absolutely fly but had no brakes on it and had to use two six volt lantern batteries in series on brake side to slow that critter down on the big American track --wow you jarred some old cobwebs loose with that photo. Old Timmy the Legend was a rounder too back then the story says but thats good for another story another day.

We used to have a lot of fun at the track...until Cox came out with the La Cucarocha. Man that thing was fast!! I couldn't afford one. I still have my 100 foot 1/32 Revell set, but the cars are long gone and the transformer and controllers are shot. Boy, what fun I had.Pete
