This coming Christmas, make your gifts to all nephews the same. This would eliminate the yearly bickering about who got the best or coolest gifts and free you from the headache that would most likely follow. Give slot car sets to all the boys. They are bound to be ecstatic as all of them can play a game each without waiting for their turn.

Slot car racing started in England. The game was brought to the US and other parts of the world by returning servicemen after the Second World War. The craze for car modeling became popular as an at home pastime. During the ’50s, a man named Alban Adams built the first recessed slot track for the model cars and slot car racing was born.
