I love that drawing

[GAFan]

Garbage can obstacles would have made it like every car chase on television at the time. Wish they could have made this one.

If they had actually made a way for the car to ramp through a wall of bricks... MWAH! A thing of beauty!

A great bonus would have been a button that imitated the General Lee's horn.

I'm sure the car would have jumped the tracks a lot when hitting that wall and I would have been one frustrated child. lol. Wish they had made it

Great idea! I wish they could have followed through on that one. I guess in this instance, timing is everything. Starsky & Hutch ended in May '79 so if this was on the drawing board around then, maybe that's why it got pulled.

That woulda sold like hotcakes! Breakaway wall, garbage cans, maybe even a city cardboard backdrop! Cool stuff

Oh man!!! I still play with slot cars!!! This is brilliant!

You know this would have led directly to the Dukes of Hazzard set.

Did Vinny ever say who actually did the drawings/sketches for this preliminary stuff?

nice set, bad timing.

[starsky]

very cool indeed. actually scaletrix came out with a starsky and hutch slotcar set 5 years ago.

It looks like the cars would have actually crashed and rolled over, which is what kids really want to do with race tracks anyway!
