Nice layout, did you design it or is that "from the box"? Does it fit in a 3 x 8 space?<br>

<p>its from the box </p><p>but it takes up some real estate its 7 foot by 11 feet minimum</p><p>fun as hell </p><p>took up an entire room.</p><p><br></p><p>randy</p><p><br></p>

I have one as well, loved the slots when I was a kid and racing down the longest drags we could, took considerable time to know each cars limitations but when I got a GP MAgna Traction, I swear it would stick to the track no matter what and nuttin' could hang with it!!!<br><br>
Nice layout.<br><br>

I had an AFX track and a few cars...I could never slow 'em down enough to keep 'em on the track!<br><br>

It is a BLAST! They fly!<br>Pat<br><br>

I got a tyco set with magnum 440x2 cars (ultra chrome lamborghini contiachs) ...talk about fast. If I ever had the time/ space to set it up more often, I'd get as much straight track as I could...those suckers go so fast, they'll do a lap (roughly 36 feet of track- part of it upside down and most of it curves) in about 3 or 4 seconds. unfortunately, I don't have enough straight track to let them unwind.

Fun stuff! I just picked up a T-Jet J-Car at an antique mall a couple of weeks ago. Of course I bought a couple of Sizzlers too. I pull my slot cars out about once a year and race 'em.<br><br>

Randy,<br><br> I spit my drink out when I read your comments about the vintage cars. I bought a TOMY AFX International Race Set a couple of years back and immediately flashed back to when I was a kid as soon as I hit the throttle. I didn't realize just how damned fast the new cars were until I pulled out some of my vintage Aurora Mustangs and tried racing them. Oh the humanity! Try and let the kids play every once and a while...ok? <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif"><br>

That weird looking Star's n Stripes car in your collection image... I have that set complete minus the two cars, beautiful outer box also. I also have the Riverside set that your Petty Stockcar (in the same image) came out of. Been looking for the cars to complete the 2 sets for awhile now. Any help would be a prreciated or if you need the sets (all paperwork included), shoot me a message. I have a little collection of slots too, Aurora, Model Motoring and some very early Lionel's

I have the sets. I just took the cars out to put in the case.
