Like most kids of the pre-Nintendo era, the closest thing my juvenile crew could get to an actual automotive experience on a budget involved Hot Wheels scale die-cast cars. Sure, there was always that one legendary kid who pinched Mom?s keys and took the family Pacer for a spin around the ‘burbs, but for the rest of us the motoring action revolved around Mattel?s surprisingly detailed Hot Wheels cars and the iconic plastic orange track they ran on. The only downside was that the fun was meted out in two- and three-second bursts, and we wanted a forever ride. Problem was, most kids could only cobble together enough sections of track to run a circuit from the dining room table to the TV room, maybe with a loop thrown in on the kitchen floor just to torture the cat. Unfortunately, the ride was just never long enough to satiate our need-for-scale-model-speed. Resourceful types would recruit the neighborhood gentry to combine their sets to create the extended tracks of our dreams, often running down several sets of stairs and out onto the lawn. Unfortunately, those collaborations often led to property disputes at the end of the day, inevitably ending in the time-honored tradition of smacking each other with track sections.
