Aurora Slot Car Race

Aurora slot car race between a white Camaro (Wild Ones) and a white Mustang (Wild Ones). These two cars are kind of special because they were the two cars that came with the Aurora slot car set when I received the set as a Christmas gift in 1968. Wow, am I really that old? Guess so. My son shot the video while I raced both cars. For this video we were able to have additional light from the window which seems to help. All of our other videos up to this point have been filmed at night with overhead lights and additional lighting. We will probably re-arrange the track sometime soon. Hope you like this video!

Cool! I watch eBay all the time for Aurora slot cars mainly, and I don't see very many Barracudas. I think you are right, they made good stuff back then. Things were built to last longer.

Good video!!! It brings back memories. I got into slot cars when AFX hit the scene. As fast as the newer cars were, I thought the T-Jet/Wild-Ones/Tuff-Ones were more interesting. I have a Wild-Ones Camaro like the one in this video. It is clean, and runs very well. It was slightly modified (silicone slicks), but the body was untouched...that is, I didn't sand the wheel wells.

Thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately my Camaro is missing the back bumper, from years ago. I keep a watch on some eBay sales thinking maybe I can pick up an old Camaro that has a good back bumper. I have silicon slicks too! I did not modify my Camaro body either. I bought a couple of flamethrower T-Jets in the last week and they have not arrived yet. My son and I want to do video with the flamethrowers, seeing the lights should be cool!

Yes, actually the camera was on a tripod. Thanks for watching the video! We hope to do some new videos soon with different cars we have been working on.

After watching your videos I had to get my old ATLAS set (1966)out. It is a small fig 8 and I ran my Tjet Barracuda & Tjet Mustang. Still worked! Made good stuff back than!
