The miniature car is one of the most popular and enduring toys, almost as old as the machines that inspired them. Some are veritable miracles of technology in miniature, with functioning headlamps and front-wheel drive; others are lovingly crafted to a fine level of detail, with real leather seats and handpainted finishes.

Book excerpt: BUILD - RACE - WIN - REPEAT...The Rise & Fall of the Golden Years of Slot Car Racing Explained. Text includes articles from the main magazines of the period. Also includes a Worldwide Racing Directory, listing active slot car raceways from different countries in 5 continents...! By 1966, model-car racing was so popular that it threatened to replace bowling as the nation's favorite indoor sport. For as grand as the outcome, the force that propelled slot-car racing into a national pastime was a simple one: the realism of the original slot cars. The builders and racers of these models knew that the quest for speed should not come at the cost of the way a car looked. Their design was at the heart of their very integrity. In this new effort, author, researcher and slot-car racer Carlo Tonalezzi charts the meteoric rise of this hobby-sport and photographs classic model racing cars in their natural habitat: The commercial racing tracks. Models made by Russkit, AMT, COX, MPC, Monogram, and more are captured on vintage tracks from the American Model Car Raceways. These realistic beauties were made during the Golden Years of Model Racing. True pieces of Americana, they are today as magnificent as ever. Read all about what really happened during this exciting period of model racing bliss!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary history of the pony car wars comes to life in this softcover edition of The Cars of Trans-Am Racing. The SCCA Trans-Am Racing Series launched in 1966 and was designed to showcase a new class of sporty domestic cars racing on road courses. Each major automotive manufacturer participated heavily in the Trans-Am Series, and in a few short years, it became the ultimate American automobile showdown. When the modified muscle cars of the series were seen performing well on the country’s finest tracks, fans wanted a model of their own in the driveway. These "pony cars" boasted a new look and style not seen before, and their all-around performance eclipsed anything accomplished by production-based American GT cars up to that point. This softcover edition of The Cars of Trans-Am Racing is unique in that it focuses on the cars used in this legendary series. These vintage Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, Barracudas, Firebirds, Cougars, and Javelins all are extremely popular with collectors and enthusiasts today. Seeing them in their “full-competition” versions when they were new will bring back many fond memories for those who were fans of this series. In addition, enthusiasts who enjoy these cars today look to the Trans-Am Series cars for styling inspiration and performance hints as part of the growing Pro Touring trend. Many of these historic cars have been restored to race-ready condition. Additional insight and interviews from the original builders and the teams that maintained the cars provide an insider’s viewpoint never before seen in print.
