    Brilliant, as a modeller myself since childhood (now 53) and a guy who's just getting back into slot cars as an adult cos let's face it good music, a couple of cold ones and some racing is a great fun evening I found this fantastic and inspiring and I love his dedication and passion for his hobby 👍

    At 55 year's old, watching this takes me back to being 10 years old playing with my cars. This made me feel exactly like I did when I was 10, not a care in the world, everything was safe, and mom and dad were in the front room watching what ever 1970's show that was on at the time while I lost myself in my world of toy cars. . I had ice cream buckets of hot-wheels ( mainly redlines ) but finally around 12 I got a slot car set and everything change in a heart beat. Life eventually got in the way as I got older and my toys of the past were just that... the past .
    Well a couple months back I was lucky enough to find a guy who sold me a "HUGE" amount of 60's-70's slots cars for $600.. I'm certain they're worth a few grand but money isn't what matters when it comes to my toys. Ya see I'm a seriously collector ( although an amateur ) and have about 500 70's hot-wheels, lesney, Corgi, and the rest and now I've got about 40 slots cars and parts as far as the eye can see. Sure I could use the money by selling them but it's the one thing in my life that makes me feel like the kid I once was so I will "NEVER" get rid of them.
    thanks for this awesome video, your track just makes me wanna build a time machine and got back to the early 70's. AWESOME TRACK TO SAY THE LEAST🏎

    Wow! This brings back memories of my misspent youth! Haha. I grew up in rural Vt int he 50s/60s and remember slot cars being the rage for us 10to 14 year olds. I would hitch hike 20 or so miles if I couldn't con anyone to give men a ride to the closest large town that had a track. It was 1/24 scale at that time but I guess 1/32 became more popular later on. I wound my own motors for torque and top-end. Fun times. Jimmie Attard must be fro Detroit if he worked at Fords. I was born there in 1951 and had tons of relatives there. A lot of them "went by Fords" and had long careers. Thanks for posting> Love it!

No computer simulation can give the amount of satisfaction and more importantly the feeling of accomplishment when you actually create something by hand that is physically yours. It truly makes it feel like it’s one of a kind yours. Haha, now my boys want us to build a slot car track to replace their train track. I also take my boys and track car (I have a 2019 GT350 now) to the local road race track for track days. We love cars! So many hobbies and not enough time!

    and now this extended cut co-hosted by Gus.
    Mike Dormann said it BEST, " This man is artist!!!110%"
    I'll even elaborate it further, he's a slot track GURU!
    I LOVE the Attention to detail in the scenery more so
    than the construction and build of the track.
    As a Newbie to the " Sport " I'm new school formed
    plastic track owner. The scenery has more of my interest
    but, not to take away from the engineering design of the
    tracks build! I mean 35years in this hobby, Mr. Attard

    What a thrill to see all of this. In 1964/65, I was 14 or 15 years old, I worked at a slot car track selling track time and car kits and accessories. I also had a little side biz putting the slot car kits together for beginners or people who just wanted to race. I'd get them completely finished out and supertuned and ready to race. I got $5 per car which would make me $20 or $25 a week...pretty sweet money for those days.

    Jimmy is THE MAN. I've been admiring AC2 layouts for years and this is the guy responsible for it all... What a treat be invited into his home, hear from the man himself and see all of his detailing, imagination and craftsmanship first hand. And thanks for a great look at not just the man and his track but of his work stations as well. Nice touch, really loved it! I am compelled to make a comment about the video production.
    Although the interview is wonderfully comprehensive and petty much perfect, the music running throughout the entire length of this video is not only unnecessary but after a while became distracting and then annoying. Jimmy's comments, his descriptions of building techniques and his stories are wonderful, interesting and stand completely on their own without the need of a constant, relentlessly repetitive barrage of 16th note xylophone "hey kids, it's play time with Jimmy" music behind it. I found that I needed to take periodic breaks because of it. Although this is a fun hobby for sure the interview is one of an experienced and dedicated artist and it doesn't need anything else to make it more "interesting".
    That said.... Great job and many thanks for making this video, the passionate work of an artist and his living track, available to us! I loved slot cars as a kid in the 60s and began collecting cars again and building tracks as an adult during the past 20 years or so. Really appreciate it!
    P.S. Sorry about the production critique. My 50 years as a musician and 30 in the MP and TV industry have obviously ruined me!

    great workmanship, something I've noticed, in the UK everyone had a slot car set at some time, we had VIP in the 1960s and later Scalextric, the USA also but as far as I know there hasn't been a dedicated TV show about slot cars, I see an opportunity here. . .

But on Saturday get up in the morning have a eggo waffle and race on the track till time to go to the real track. Hell I'm 54 and I'm going to go buy one tomorrow. Just to relive the time.

    This is a model railroading style of prototype modeling. People really respond to the realism and attention to details. There are all kinds of landscaping materials in the train section of the hobby stores and online retailers. The nice thing about it is that your layout will never be done. That’s the whole idea behind a hobby like this.

  • @TwstedTV
    @TwstedTV 2 года назад +1

    I have an idea. Now that we are in 2022 going on 2023, and the technology is really good these days. The owner should get tons of micro cameras and place them all around the track.
    And on race days, do a live stream broadcast on Twitch and RUclips websites. Have someone do the controls for the live video feed while live streaming using a stream-deck
    to control the view of each camera to the live stream as the races happen. Put up a monitor with a digital scoreboard for winners & mini trophies for the winners. 😁👍
    The owner can also put a chip in the car and hire a Python developer to write a script, as each car will be given a specific code & number. And each time they pass the finish/start line
    it would show up on the 40" inch screen on the wall as it also keeps score digitally, so no one can argue who cross the line first, as it would be electronically recorded.
