That does look like fun doesn't it.
Do they make travel trailers to clip on behind? That would make it even more exciting.

Well with Lego you can build your own. So that certainly is an option. In my Tank hobby I used Lego blocks a lot for building. Perfectly engineered square and pretty tough they could take the abuse. That is why I got this sent to me. He knows how much I like to use Lego.( My Gift card chassis uses lego blocks for bearing blocks.)

Yeah, I got the Scaley letter about them, There will be a set that has a cop car and that car in it, as well as one with two hot rods. It just goes to show that ideas always come back around. The first slot car version of this I remember was over 50 years ago.

Yes a friend of mine had a set. I think it was Eldon and it was called Sloppy Jalopy or something like that. A figure 8 with cars that had fenders that flew off in collisions.
Still, Lego is a big and popular brand with kids. It doesn't hurt to have a slot car branch coming from the Lego tree.
