You know, back in the middle 1960's, when commercial tracks were the standard and home racing (in anything but HO scale) was pretty non-existant, there was a whole class of cars - none of which are available today. They weren't made as models of current cars, but were far more imaginative and futuristic than the chromed rectangles that passed for Fords and Chevys back then. It was like the major car companie's "concept" cars actually came to life. All of these cars had another disappeared feature - drop arm guides. These cars could pull a 75 degree wheelie for the whole length of a 30 foot straight away! But, as I mentioned earlier, the coolest part was the way they looked. These cars might not have been the best pure racers, but they were very entertaining. I do miss my orange Manta Ray.
