Thanks buddy

Here is a longer one with  a ton of stills and some more video spliced together.
  The slot car guys will love it.

Clint, I always tell myself that I cannot collect everything. Therefore I enjoy looking at your projects even more! I had a Carrera track when I was little and had hours of fun with it! Many good memories here. My slot cars weren't digital nor did they have lights.
And the contact strips would always fray. That was the time of Carrera PROFI back i the 90s.
Now when I see how you arranged your basement, I can say that you made one of the nicest places one can be. I mean who else got his or her private arcade in the basement?
And your race track is THE most detailed one I've ever seen! Love all the lights and LED advertisement.


In German we say Leuchtreklame (neon signs).
Thank you for sharing your amazing man cave with us!

That's sweet! The lighting effect is great for night driving. That looks like such fun.

Thanks Shawn. Mr More, I loved hearing that history. This is something I could see you getting into. Thanks starchaser, I have been neglecting the track lately with my other hobbies, she is ready for an update.
   I need to shoot a video so I can show how the phone app works.

The lighting effect is great for night driving.

Agreed. And this is my favorite album for driving at night: Night Drive by Timecop1983

Just a masterpiece this album and Clint's race track are...good times.

I’m not familiar with the tune, mr. More.
Thrash metal?

I didn't even know this was a legit type of music! lol No, it's not trash metal, it's retro music in style of the 80s and does sound as if it was released back then. This album really is worth to listen to.

Timecop 1983 is a Dutch electronic musician, the style is "synthwave" if that helps at all. Its got some 80's vibe, but in the style of say... The Alan Parsons Project or an exceedingly mellowed out version of Erasure.

Thank you so much for the specification, Starchaser! Much I learned here...synthwave, that's it. Didn't even know he's from the Netherlands! Shame on me. I just enjoy music too much.
