[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3872308, member: 13337"] I do remember my first slot car was a $4.95 Revell (?) kit from TG&Y,,, It took me a few months to save enough cash to buy a Kentron (?) Sidewinder kit. The track I went to was just south of Moore on Shields avenue,,, The stations had coin operated meters,,, 25 cents got you 25 minutes. Mom and Pop thought it was a waste of time and money,,, They didn't realize that activity was what kept me [B]out [/B]of trouble. But man oh man did I put every penny of my allowance into them,,, A buck-fifty a week didn't get me much track time,,, Even in the mid 60's. Adults ruined the play for us kids,,, When they discovered the track and hobby,,, We kids couldn't get any track time cause they monopolized the lanes. When my parents finally made me quit the slot car hobby thing,,, That's when I had idle time to go out and get into trouble. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
