Glad to share. There must be many people here who have never seen a proper raceway. To me they had a very special atmosphere. When they were busy MRDC and Wonderland were buzzing. I went back to Wonderland in 1988 about 5 years after the raceway had stopped operating during an abortive attempt to rescue the ex Tottenham Raceways AMF King and it was quite ghostly like moving around a sleeping giant and I mean giant the King covered a floor area 50 ft x 25ft with a lap length of 155 feet - a serious raceway!

 There are still some big raceways in the US including Buzzarama in Brooklyn which appears to have changed very little since the sixties. If you take a look at the videos on their website you will get a feel for the place and what serious racing was like in the sixties.

Unfortunately in the late 60's BSCRA and serious slot racing generally moved away from cars that looked like a scale model of the real thing and it all got very expensive and less interesting for me. 

Sorry if I hijacked the thread it wasn't intentional.
