Did anyone see the section of the TV program Gears that talked about Scalextric slot cars and track?

Last Fri nite there was s how on one of the channels that had two guys that try to be pickers and sell their finds on Ebay. They bought a Cox Chaparral in a junk shop and then went to ChicagoLand Raceway and learned a little about slots. Mike Swiss owns CL and did a great job of getting ready for them. He had a few of the regulars on the show and they displayed some vintage cars and raced just a little.

couple of seasons ago, the host, Stacy on the program "Gears" did a small bit with slot cars. If i remember he said Scalextric but the manufacturing was clearly Carrera track with the red and white guardrails and white stripes on the center of the track.

A couple seasons ago I did the sponsorship of the WAYWO (What are you working on) segment of the GearZ with Stacey David Show. This year now with Scalextric I have again scraped some marketing $$$ together and been able to sponsor a few of those episodes again. I built the track on the set (both times) and now they have a large Scalextric track and regularly receive new cars.
I plan to attend their fall carshow and do demos at their studio in White House TN.
A video from last year.

This is the episode I was talking about. I think it first aired on May 25 of this year. It does good things for slot cars.
