About “Slot Car Racing in Popular Culture”

Eddie Shorer, a 23-year veteran of Slot Car Racing, offers an insider’s view of
this hobby/sport in a very personal narrative from 1963 to the present. Between
2007 and 2021 “Fast Eddie” presented these papers at Popular Culture Association
National Conferences in San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Washington, DC, and
Los Angeles. Topics cover his involvement in the Golden Age of the hobby, its
rise and fall, rebirth and growth, and profiles of racers, collectors and
builders in both club and commercial racing. Included are photos from his
accompanying presentations and links to the full-resolution PowerPoint
presentations online.
