Just found out about it. I have not raced slot cars since I was a kid about 55 years ago. So I stopped by the place to check it out today. Two big tracks, no one else was there. Talk about sticker shock!
1965:
Decent car - $10
Controller - $8
Track time - 50 cents an hour
Now:
Decent car - $60-80
Controller - $90
Track time $10 an hour
The worst thing about getting old is you remember how cheap things were.
But then I remember in 1965 I had to cut someone's lawn to earn $1
