Redline post

I'm at my parents' place for the holidays and wanted to dig through all of the old toys my dad still had in storage in hopes of finding more redlines. Opened up his big box of toy car stuff and was stunned.

First off he has one of those electric tracks that you'd race the 1:64 electric cars on. It is pristine and has a lot of extra track and cars inside, from the seventies, which we all know was one of the best eras of racing.

Second, he has tons of old hot wheels track. I'm talking maybe 20 or more feet along with some of the special components like the booster or a hydraulic braking thing. Crazy stuff. Well I found this guy and it really got my attention.

Besides this being the only piece with a redline in it, I thought it was pretty neat.
