If you are a grown up looking for slot cars for sale you are not alone. Some men look for deals on toy train sets. But some love the excitement of a toy race car moving at break neck speed up and down the race track. There is something about slot race cars that is simply in a word, neat.
There is one person who built the largest slot race car track in the country. He started a racing club where people from all over the area come to race slot cars. He added a forty foot room addition to his home and took up most of his yard to do it. He had to get zoning permission from the city to build the room. It is an elaborate 170 foot track with four lanes to race on.
You might say that he went through a lot of trouble to relive his days as a slot racer. But the truth is he really never grew out of it. And what is more the man is suffering from a cancerous brain tumor. He uses his hobby to deal with the reality of his physical condition.
The good part about the hobby he says is that no one gets an injury. There are no muscle pulls or strained ligaments. Everyone simply has fun. He allows anyone into his home who is a genuine enthusiasts of the race car.
This is a hobby that is not as popular as it was many years ago. Kids these days are fixated on computerized video games that allow them to kill and destroy various enemies created by the video game companies.
Of course it is the grown men taking up the hobby. The kids today lean towards the video games. They find killing enemies and destroying countries a lot more fun on their video screen than racing slot cars.
If grown men are still playing with cars then there must be something special about the race cars. But today most kids do not want the same experience. Which is too bad. Perhaps kids do not want to deal with the upkeep and storage of the slot cars. Or perhaps they would rather stare at a computer video game screen instead of learning how to handle the tight curves and corners of the slot car race track. But one thing is for sure the skill you need to race slot cars is a skill that is dying out.
Something that brings back memories of competition and skill; there is always something in every generation of kids that is the memorable game. And perhaps video games of racing cars have replaced the slot cars of yesterday. But for many men and one who has a brain tumor the slot cars cannot be beat. - 31505
