During the 60's when I was a kid we had slot car places like this and their was league racing. There were no RC cars back then. What fun we had. The hobby was not that expensive.
when i was younger probably early 90s maybe 93. main street butler had a slot car place for a year or 2....it had a nice big oval. a killer road course and a drag strip. some very happy days spent there for me, and i think my dad taking me there as a kid was what got me into rc cars and model building....then real cars when i got older, which now at almost 30 im a mechanic. i believe the place was called rcgo or rego or regeo raceway. the bar/restaurant. the brick house bar is now in its place.
"During the 60's when I was a kid we had slot car places like this..." Yeah, and it still looks like fun! Faster, more sophisticated digital control - it just gets better. 24 hour endurance? Man, I'd get dizzy. Wonder how they maintain control in the dark?
I hate how people call them nerds for having an interest in a hobby like this. I think scalectric is amazing. I don't have a set anymore but I'd love to have one.
Ciao a tutti, sono il figlio di Salvatore Noviello: Andrea, voglio dirvi che quest'anno parteciperò per la prima volta alla gara organizzata da mio padre a Soragna ( quella della settimana prossima, non la Endurance ). Comunque in bocca al lupo a tutti =D
In questi anni ho letto molti commenti e alcuni veramente offensivi nei riguardi di un hobby che appassiona tante persone. Mi rendo conto ogni giorno che i leoni da tastiera devono avere veramente una vita triste e piena di rabbia se passano le giornate ad insultare la gente. Auguro a questi ogni bene perche' sospetto siano persone profondanente infelici. Vivete, divertitevi, rimanete un po' bambini... la vita è una sola!!!
Yo cunado cuando tenia 5 años solia tener estas cosas ahora que miro el video me recuerda a mi niñes hasta me dan gans de hacer una pista en mi casa de este tipo :D buen video >
Un hoby verdaderamente apasionante, lo disfruto desde que cumplí los 4 años y me regalaron mi primer Scalextri. Quisiera saber si en este tipo de campeonatos, aparte de medallas hay algún otro tipo de recompensa para los participantes, así como que tipos de premios se pueden ganar?? Muy echas gracias.
I love the night racing but it looks like it would be hard to corner marshell the cars in the dark. The headlights would go off and you might not know which lane to put them in.
Well, to a certain extent, I think I'd have to call them nerds, but that's definitely not a bad thing! This looks awesome to me, and I'm sure this is one of the most fun environments out there.
i remember these thing...never to into them..ill stick to my rc's where i am not forced to stay on the same track, or wait, i dont have to be on a track...
"Nerds are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, 'Oh yeah that purse is okay' or like, 'Yeah, I like that band's early stuff.' Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself-love it. when people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, 'You like stuff', which is just not a good insult at all, like 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'." - John Green
Just wanted to say; well said, many of the comments on here are pretty uninformed. Aside from the technical stuff that goes into putting a "racing slot car together", you may of noticed the "hand controllers" that were being used, they not only cost much more than a slot car but, they have a number of knobs that allow the user to adjust the "breaking and curves" of the motor, some even have a choke - all the cars used were NSR - value for money, the best racing slot cars straight out of a box.
24 hours of slot car racing? Wow, that had to be one heck of an effort in concentration!!! Good job!
the night racing at 5:55 is fabulous...
Che spettacolo....non pensavo ci fossero gare....i miei migliori anni gli ho passati sulle piste polistil...
Nice modeling... had such fun with this stuff as a young fella

Bellissimo video, come sempre... anzi sempre meglio.
Brava Bila, grazie!!!

they used to have these on rt. 51 at Tom Thumb in Pittsburgh in the mid sixties. I still have a fascination with slot cars

I had no idea this type of race existed. The night time racing is something to see.

exactly these cars actually cost a lot more than you'd think and these guys put time and effort into them to get them competitive :)
Thats awesome. I would love to get in on that. Slot cars kick ass.
4:11, what is that strange object with the long hair?
The only one of its kind most of the regular looking humans have seen in a while.
A very rare lady racer ?
very cool video are thoes book light's that they are useing to light up the track
È incredibile. Addirittura la 24h. È bellissima questa cosa!!
Awesome, I wish I was there!
Ciao Andrea ne sono felicissima! Partecipo anch'io, Bila ,quindi ci ritroviamo sulla piste!!!!
thats a pretty sweet setup, when are these things gonna get brushless motors though
Veramente spettacolare! Tanta stima :D
that looks amazing!
It remids me of when I was kid and would go the local slot car track but this is pretty serious stuff with all the night racing and stuff.
Love the music on this...Mega...
Fantastic nightshot!
Un bellissimo mondo in miniatura!

Chattanooga had a place like this where you could race your own car. But that was back in the late 70's

Fabulous cars !!

the night racing was BAD ASS!!!!
Sweet video I didn't know slot racing was big
Is this multiple identical tracks or one enormous track?
What is the song that starts at 5:55 ???
Well, to a certain extent, I think I'd have to call them nerds, but that's definitely not a bad thing! This looks awesome to me, and I'm sure this is one of the most fun environments out there.
OMG THATS SOOO EXCITING!
I would LOVE to see how loud your expedition with "bass" is...Post up a video or let's see some numbers on a TL
respect, they're indeed doing it properly !
i dont know that there are races for this toy? :P
What do you have against slot cars that love other slot cars?
Is there a cash prize awarded?
SC racing is the shiznet.. it will NEVER get old..
is it day and night? 24h?
whats the song
im not quite sure but i think its determined by the fastest lap time or "split"
what is the song at 4:11 ?
red hot chilli pepper - snow
Very good video !
Try DAVIC system... It's an unforgetable experience !!!
...were they really having fun here? Some of them looked uninterested.
This must be pre digital age racing?
I can't believe this still exists with the advent of RC. But hey, whatever's fun to you.
nice cars and track
so awesome
video stupendo
Holy crap, are those still Russkit based controllers?
i remember these thing...never to into them..ill stick to my rc's where i am not forced to stay on the same track, or wait, i dont have to be on a track...
I got an RC car. Its so good. Turns without being on rails too...

Haters always hate, Man. It's their job. Don't even bother feeling sorry for him; that's time you could be spending turning faster laps, right? LOL
Class
