WOW!!!  That's alot of money.  I used to own 8 Tyco's and I didn't spend
that much money on them.  I also had about 25 ft of track mounted on a huge
plywood table that lowered from the ceiling in the garage.  Ahhh, those were
the days.

I had another set called 'TCR - Total Control Racing'.  It wasn't as fast
(or popular) as the Tyco sets but you could make the cars change lanes
because it wasn't slotted track.  It also had a dedicated 'pacing' car that
you had to pass.  It purposely ran slower in the outside lane.


Sorry, I was really getting tired of deleting all of these boring posts
about Camry's and 'redneck roundy-round racing'....errrr, I mean NASCAR.

BTW, what does the "SC" in NASCAR stand for?  I don't mind roll cages and
on-board fire-suppression systems, but the RWD carburtetors, and V-8s have
got to go.  The only American RWD v-8 cars are a Caddy, CrownVic, Stang,
Camaro-bird, and Vette.  How come I don't see any of those in the NASCAR
races?
