This is one of the best edited slot car videos I have seen. The track is a simple temporary oval on a carpeted floor, but it's surprisingly enjoyable to watch.

At 1:25 in you can see his finger nudging the car from the starting line. with all the editing and skill put into the video, you think he would have chopped that out.
But your right 'nudder, its pretty cool to watch. I loved the accident, then reverse, then slow motion accident towards the end.

That little carpet oval transported me back to second grade for a quick visit. I thought the lone 2-D tree was hilarious. Better get the grounds crew out before the roots start lumping the inside line.
