Purchase for $49.99, unfortunately it's $59.95 for shipping.

 

I'm sure it weighs a bit.

 

Thanks for looking.

$60.00 shipping? Where is this coming from, Moldovia? I remember seeing an article in one of the slot car mags back in 1965 or 66. It didn't sell much. You can't make much of a track with a 100' strip. One lane  would be using up the role on a 50' track. Must be for display purposes.

I've had these and they are very heavy.   This is only half the package, you also need the flexible slot that this stuff snaps into.     This is barely enough to do a 2 lane track of less than 25 foot per lane.

Good to know!

 

Thank you Matt!

Auto World sold this or a similar product in the mid 60's.  I was going to use it for a 1/32 home track I designed. By the time I scrapped up the money for everything, commercial raceways opened in Maine, so I forget of building my own track.
