They went slot car racing on a track Aunt Harriet built for them. Watch in this blast from the past and Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Alfred, and Aunt Harriet kick back for a racing session. Enjoy.
Mark and I love slot car racing because it’s fun and you get to drive smaller versions of race cars you would never have a shot to drive. See my blog entry about it. How’d you like to see how Grand Prix racers see a track? No, not the traditional way where there’s a in-car camera.
