Slot Car Racing: An Enduring Passion

Slot Cars became so popular between 1959 and 1965 that they transcended all toy sales aside from dolls. The old mainstay, model railroads, declined in sales from $100 million to $30 million over the same six year time span. The sport or hobby of slot cars was equally popular among kids and adults. My e-book looks at slot car racing's growth, the people who were enthused by it, and its evolution from analog to digital in the 21st century.
