Brings back childhood memories. Watch it for what it is and don't over analyze it. Fun

I had miles of track and probably 2 dozen cars. Supercharger too.

Amazing, just went on and on. Must have used the track from every kid in the neighborhood. Do you think that the tunnels were the chance for a reset of the track, sure looks continuous .

I did 100,000 miles on my knees chasing those cars. The ones I liked the best were the rechargable "sizzlers" cars, and my favorite then was a green 1970 Boss 302....still is one of my favorite full sized cars.

Exactly what they are.

The background environments from before entering tunnels don't match the environment on exit.

Not continuous.

Very cool (posted it to my facebook page).

Had the track and the supercharger... but honestly spent 90% of our time playing with our hot wheels pushing them around on the ground in the backyard (saying varoom, varoom).

We were so deprived... we had to use our... imagination.

I had the same car! I drilled a tiny hole in the front pan, used some Testors to glue in a pin and put it on my H.O. track. Had to bank the corners significantly to get the Sizzler to stay on the track. My AFX cars with A.J. wheels could beat it, but the old-school H.O. cars with the skinny little (maybe 1/16" thick) tires never had a chance.

That was only about 46-47 years ago...
