The race set ups these guys do are spectacular, the commentary on the races is even better.

This is really good. My wife and I just sat in bed watching this for a good 30 minutes.

Commentary is excellent. Good to see people playing with toys.

Drag racing (has a whole new meaning now I think) commercials. Every drag strip had their own schtick on tv and radio commercials.

If you’re from the NY/NJ/PA area you’ll remember these from raceway park.

I'm so old I remember playing with Mattels Hot Wheels, seeing who's car would get to the end of the track first. Now middle aged men collect them all, every variation, never to be removed from their packing for fear of rendering them uncollectable and worthless. I've heard of guys with SEVERAL THOUSAND!. I'm not sure what to make of this phenomenon other than to feel a little privileged to have actually played with them as nature intended.

63M.....is it that time already??

Toys were to be played with end of, every dent and scratched will tell a story of a child’s enjoyment, a few of my dinky toy cars got fitted with Jetex motors, The Need for Speed

Walking, later cycling to primary school and even high school. Nowadays I don't think any kid would know what a bike was, as they get carried around like groceries in a 2 ton SUV.
