Surfmeister Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Now I have something fun to do this weekend. Because my company makes me carry a Diners Club card I collect points when I travel. So I cashed in a bunch of points and got a slot car set. It is HO Scale with over 50 feet of track with loops, crossovers, banked curves ... and stuff like that. It will take a while but I'll set it up this weekend. I remember when I was a kid we used to race large scale slot cars at a place called Grell's (is that how it was spelled?) on Main in Williamsville. It was just a few feet down from where the Santora's Pizza place is now. I remember being there one day when someone's car lost it on the track and went right through the front window of the place. Is anyone here old enough to remember that place? We used to have fun in 3-D before Atari was invented. It is never too late to have a happy childhood!

They had two tracks. You could rent if you didn't have your own car. About 1970?
