For sure. We have a ton of Ninco track, cars etc. Every year, right after Christmas a six lane track goes up in my living room. I can fit nearly a thirty foot straight in one direction if we want it but most of the layouts get limited to ten foot straights with more turns, makes it more interesting. These are 1/32 scale (about six inches for those not familiar) cars that haul!

Way back i was part of the local team that raced against Team Champion. I beat those guys too!!!! Back in the days when you built the cars from the wheels up out of copper tubing!!! Ah the smell of burning plastic and MooGoo!!!!

I used the Champion motors, 507, 517. 607 617. Always looking for the newest fastest!!! Had to mow a lot of lawns to afford it.

There is a slot car track one town north of me. But my eyes are too old and my thumb too slow!!!! If they'd run a master class i would stand a chance. But it's tough getting nerfed off the track by nine year olds!!!!
