You bought a car and a controller and took them to a race car club house to race them. You paid the guy by the 1/2 hour and raced your car on one of several tracks. Each track was maybe 30' X 15' and would have tons turns and rises. I bet my dad still has mine, somewhere.

I was even in one club house that had a drag strip that was probably 75'.
Now that is friggen awesome. I remember reading about those when I was a kid, but never got the opportunity to use them.
I have always dreamed of building a non-slotted electric racecar set that allowed cars to change lanes whenever they wanted. Now, thinking about it, I believe something like that was manufactured and sold back in the late 70s early 80s.
