Michael Murphy checks out his car after a crash at Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin, California. Slot car racing used to be a 350 million dollar industry in the 60s, with thousands of slot car racing venues to every one bowling alley.

There is only one place in Sacramento where you can slot car race, and theyve managed to keep it going.
