    My older brother was into slot cars in a BIG way. I remember two places, the one on Morang that was previously mentioned, and another on Kelly. I want to say the one on Kelly was maybe in the block or two north of Merit Drugs?

    I remember going there with him when I was about six. I was fascinated by the controllers. which had the same two prong plugs that you would plug into the AC outlet on the wall. I remember once at home getting his slot car out, placing it on my bed, and then plugging the controller into the wall outlet. There was a LOT of smoke, but fortunately the house did NOT burn down.

    LMAO! There's something about electricity that seems to make us want to experiment.
