Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

John Ford has a ton of these, including a couple of cartoon series that were exclusive to SARN.

Sums up 40+ years of commercial slot racing in a single frame.
Love the reverse window in the back a "Grand Opening" sign above a ""Going out of Business Sale" sign underneath it. We all seen that happen way to often over the years haven't we and almost that quickly in some cases?!!

I long for the day's when there was a chicken in every pot, a slot car track in every garage or basement and a commercial track in every shopping strip!

I think Hobby City in Buena Park, Ca was the inspiration for this dwg. It had tracks that ran from floor to ceiling with netting to catch the cars. It also had the worlds narrowest slots.
