I remember those when I was a little kid.

There used to be a place in Chicago that had a set up.

I never got to go inside, or even watch through the window :(

I did get my own set when I was a little kid. Probably about 7 years old.

Then, back around 1970, I got one of these.

I had the Backfire, Mustang Boss 302, Spoil Sport and Firebird Trans Am

Now I’ve got to go into the attic and break out my Hot Wheels.

Back in the early 60’s, My friends & I were all toy “motor-heads”, read “Hot Rod” magazine, and thought the latest James Bond trick cars were the coolest things ever. Let’s not forget Bid Daddy Roth.

Had a ton of hot wheels — my fav was the truck with an airplane launcher in the bed!

But when I would mess up bad enough, my mom found that 3 or 4 pieces of that hot-wheels track stacked together worked as good as a belt on my rear-end...
