I grew up as a 60's T-Jet garage race kid, saving up my $40 lawn mower money until I could buy the Aurora Stirling Moss 4 lane Thunderjet 500 Championship Race Set and I continue to this day racing HO cars only now in clubs with faster magnet cars and on professionally made tracks. The days of Aurora, Tyco and Auto World's Catalogue have long past, but the hobby has grown to become even larger, more expensive and more technically advanced but the memory from the sweet scent of Aurora's red motor oil lingers on.

How to see this race take place on the Ed Sullivan show.I wonder if having these popular drivers which came from all walks of auto racing helped the hobby and how did sales of slot car track race sets.😊

Interesting how Stewart had been doing tv ads for Aurora before this ... hmmm. I think l could have beaten them all in Junior high in 1970. They don't punch it down the straight. 😅

I'm surprised that Aurora had a routed track rather than a Model Motoring sectional track. They should have had the track plastered with big promotional letters

Sad thing is...without a staggered start or a double cross over the inside lane has an advantage....however Gurney couldnt keep the tires on the road...as Jackie would say 🤣🤣

In an interview on Australian television at the Australian F1 Grand prix in the nineties I remember him saying how significant the prize money was and how he still had it. I think meaning it formed a significant part of his financial reserves.

Aurora and AFX HO slot car racing sets were as popular with kids in the 60’s as video games are today. I remember going to my friends house and bringing my slot cars to race. We’d have a piece of plywood on top of the old pool or ping pong table in the basement on which we’d build our layout and race all day. What fun. 50 years later I’m still racing! Thank you for the video. Loved it.

I’ve always thought the old Aurora/Model Motoring track made excellent HO roadway complete with markings, cobblestones and guard rails. This layout is proof I was right. Well done sir.
