I had 24' x 8' SCX Digital slot racing system track in my basement for years. I took it down last year as my local group has changed to Kyosho Mini Zs. One day the slots will go back up. I still have all the slot track scenery in boxes waiting to come back out.

That's it . O.K. I'm partial to AFX race sets and cars ,I just love them .

Ah yes, fond memories of the AFX sets of old, they are my fav too. I remember Christmas day of 1973, Jackie Stewarts mugshot on the box, older siblings muscling in and intentionally throttling the cars off the track in the turns in an attempt to destroy them etc.

We used to carry a lot of AFX at the hobby shop, glad they're still around!!

I like the larger cars, and once I tried digital racing I never went back. Digital racing allows you to change lanes and a whole lot more. Another cool hobby.

That could have been me in the back

slot car racing also had at least a decade of moderate popularity in Japan, too

i like to build - but not race - Tamiya mini 4WD cars since they have such a range of customization
