Nice! I've had a set since I was about 10. I collected a bunch of track a few years back with the intention of building an uber-course. I never considered making it a four-lane. Awesome idea!

**87gsxrnut** · 03-19-2008, 10:42 PM

We've been racing for a couple of days non-stop. Man, I love breaking this thing out every once and a while and having a blast!

I'm going to find a place to set mine up next week. I just have to keep my boy from stepping on it.

**87gsxrnut** · 03-19-2008, 10:58 PM

Do it man! I'm having a BLAST right now!

**drgibson** · 03-20-2008, 01:52 PM

I have a better Idea, this weekend.

**Clint** · 03-20-2008, 02:23 PM

Ahh, shaddup.

Apertureguy · 03-20-2008, 03:37 PM

I used to have well over 52 feet of track...back when they had the "Magna-Traction" cars. Man...I loved tearing that track up!

Had a whole box of car parts and used to work on them to make them as fast as I could. New springs, magnets, magnito's, etc.

**87gsxrnut** · 03-21-2008, 02:22 AM

Oh yeah, several Magna-traction cars made it onto the track last night!

**Clint** · 03-26-2008, 05:26 PM

Well, I got 'er out. I must have 200 feet of track. I have three loops, a mountain with swingarm bridges, and loads of accessories. Suffice to say I went a bit nuts upon discovering ebay in 2001. I'll get pics up when I finish "adding on".

**87gsxrnut** · 03-27-2008, 09:39 AM

NICE! Yeah, I bought all kinds of Tyco sets and track on eBay years ago. Although A/FX was more popular when I was a kid, my first set was a Tyco, and my good friends sets were Tyco. So, I now have three early 70s Tyco sets, plus wads of track and controllers etc.

The track pictured above is a newer set. I bought the newer sets when I was in the Army stationed overseas. Was fun to mess around with slot cars, drinking beer and kicking it during our off-time.

Here's what I ended up with. I'd say I've used about 1/3 of my track. I have two transformers connected (one for each lane - prevents surging). I didn't go four-lane because I only have two good cars. That's a 4x8 sheet of hardboard, for size reference. I sure wish I had a bigger rec room!

tricker · 03-27-2008, 12:26 PM

makes me think of my childhood... such fond memories of never knowing to slow for the corners

Nice. What do the kids think of it?

**87gsxrnut** · 03-27-2008, 01:26 PM

Lookni' good!

I've got a couple cases of cars, one here and one at my folks' place in Denver. All kinds of stuff.

Evan still has a bit of trouble. He'd rather play with the big box of parts.

**Clint** · 03-27-2008, 02:45 PM

Ok, I hooked my boy up. He's a regular Tony Stewart now.

themeatmanlandry · 03-27-2008, 02:49 PM

Awesome, dude.
