I used to race slot cars at a track in Coulsdon, Surrey (Where I now live). Squishy foam tyres with sticky gloop on them, lexan bodywork of your favourite cars. They were made of brass if I recall. Does anyone know the Coulsdon track?

Coulsdon is still a thriving club and has a super new track. No more goop and steel has replaced brass. Get back down there!
