Slot-car racing is fun as ****. Those little things buzz around the track like skeeters on meth.

There was another one on Park at Getwell back by the bowling alley, right next to the Embers Restaurant. Huge track that people would bring in their hand sized cars to race. I never had a car but went in just to watch many times.

Actually by scale it would be about 1000 mph. World record for actual mph is just over 75 mph.

WoW. Scale is a funny thing...How did you figure it out? I thought about trying to do da math, then decided they clocked in somewhere between rocket speed and the speed of light. lmao.

All I knew was..dem lil things were a blur and a half.

They could tour with Gay Bikers on Acid. Bad for hotel rooms though.
