the only living slot car track in n.y. city

[Daryl Payne]

Buzz-a-Rama, is about 15 minute taxi ride from where my son lives in Brooklyn. I plan on going there next summer when we visit.
Think it has been in business nearly 50 years.

Daryl - I used to race at a similar commercial track in Seattle, in the mid-60s.
8-lanes and I'd guess 90 - 100 feet in length.

I'd ride my bicycle about 2 miles from house to track.
The challenge was that most of that distance was uphill to get to the track.
(But it was worth it!)
Riding back home was a cinch, mostly downhill.

Sadly, this commercial track only last 2 -3 years, and then it was gone.
(And so was a venue at which to race my Cox Chaparral and AMT McLaren Elva. Rats!)
