I still have 3 of my cars from when I was a scout. 1969, 70, 71. Thanks Dad! I recently set them up in my fish cave/hobby area.
The truck and maroon car were built by me around 20 years later. Co-worker was a scout master and setup the track in our shop. Several of us built cars and raced them...

The car was blocking my other car, and I didn’t have extra nuts. So, I took...

4 wheel drive on?
