A Race Down Memory Lane
You remember slot cars, right? Those miniature model cars you race down guided tracks. If you grew up with them it's probably been years since you've raced them but that could all change today, Saturday the 24th. The Petersen Automotive Museum on WIlshire is hosting an all day slot car race until 7 o'clock tonight. It's put on by the FarrOut Slot Racing Club. KPCC's Brian Watt stopped by the club's headquarters in Glendale.
