Slot Car Racing An Enduring Passion

Slot Cars have been around since the late 1950s and by the mid 1960s their popularity had surpassed all toys aside from dolls. Sales of model trains plummeted by comparison, falling from a $100 million in sales to $30 million, over the years from 1959-1965. Slot cars have found new popularity during the digital age, with magazines, books and how to guides to instruct new generations of fans. More

Slot car racing reached its peak of popularity in the mid 1960s but has continued to draw fans during the digital age. The first generation of enthusiasts included an equal number of kids and adults, each of them having an avid appreciation of the sport/hobby. Now it is possible for more than one slot car to run in single lanes. My e-book looks at slot cars from the late 1950s until 2014, discussing fans who came along from the 1960s until the 1990s and after. I have researched my book from newspaper articles from the 1960s through 2014, along with books that chronicle the various slot car manufacturers and the cars they produced.
