        This is an OG blog entry from the early life of the site.

        I have the "modern" one too Joe!

        That which you manifest is before you.

                  I don't know how I missed out on the "Kenner Red Line" game, didn't know it existed till now, pretty cool! I do still have my early 70's "Scat City" where you had two 1/32 scale Dodge Challengers, a XMAS tree and a pointer device at the end of the track that would determine the winner and you'd have to hit your shift points just right or you'd lose power, still works. I think it was only available through Dodge Dealers.

                    When I saw the blog on this I remembered when this toy came out. Now I scour the yard sales hoping to find one. But no luck yet.

                      Still have mine. Missing the battery door, and one of the battery plugs is in two pieces, but it still works. I used to drive my parents crazy with this thing! They would tell me to go to bed, and I'd jam the speaker into my pillow to muffle the sound, and stay up playing for hours. I just might have to dig it out tomorrow.........LOL

                        Kenner made all the cool toys back in the day. I had one of the Redline games, but my brother and I enjoyed the head to head battles with these things:

                        It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.
