    My little man is turning 8 today! I got him a Scalextric slot car racing track. One with loop-de-loops.

    I had a normal oval track back in the late 70s, and was so jealous of kids that had ones with loops.

    I can’t wait to set it up and play it with him.

      Best way to teach respect for electricity. I approve. A few small shocks are far more educational that one big one. I miss penny bungers for their power to teach respect for trajectory.

      I refer to my dog as Little Man, so for a moment I picturing a little dog happily wagging its tail while watching slot cars race around. Twas an excellent mental image, thank you!

      Happy birthday to your kiddo!
