Spare No Expense: Fantasy Track by Slot Mods

For 88 years, the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, published by the fabled luxury retailer, has been the resource guide for the "one percent" when they're stumped for a stocking stuffer.

Gift ideas in previous editions have ranged from his and hers MiniSub Mark VII submarines for $18,000 in 1963, to a private concert with Elton John for $1.5 million in 2005. Included among the 2014 Christmas Book’s high-ticket desirables happens to be... a slot-car track.

For $300,000.

As you'd imagine, it's not just any slot-car track. This one would require its own room because, coming in at 12ft by 30ft, it can't exactly be pushed back under the bed when you've finished racing for the evening.

A GLIMPSE OF SLOT-CAR TRACK NIRVANA
Slot Mods founder David Beattie recently appeared on NBC's Today show to talk about the $300,000 "Fantasy Track" available from the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. His track shown here offers just a glimpse into what that price tag will deliver. At 6ft by 12ft, it includes a timing system but no cameras, and can be yours for "only" $75,000.

Hand built to your exact desires by Slot Mods USA, this "Fantasy Track" can be a replica of an existing race track, a combination of different sections from several real race tracks, or your own crazy creation in 1:32 scale.

It comes complete with a camera system to record your races from multiple corners and angles while viewing it on custom mini screens, as well as an integrated timing system so that there'll be no argument on who's the fastest.

Six to eight months after the order is placed, Slot Mods USA founder and master builder David Beattie, who by that point will have spent a considerable amount of time in your home performing the final assembly, will return on a night of your choosing with friends and racing legends David Hobbs and Vic Elford.

Together, you'll christen the track with a party of your friends who you may just suddenly find are now totally addicted to slot-car racing. With a track like this, who could blame them?
