For those who might not remember, or weren’t around for the heyday of these miniature marvels, slot cars are essentially scaled-down racing cars powered by an electric motor. They run on specially designed tracks with "slots" that guide the cars, hence the name. Starting in the 1960s, they exploded in popularity, becoming a massive hobby with dedicated tracks popping up all over the country. Different manufacturers, like Aurora, Lionel, and others, each brought their own style and technology to the table, creating a vibrant and competitive market.
