View the delights of slot car racing in a 2009 video interview with Frank "Buzz" Perri, owner and operator of Buzz-A-Rama on Church Avenue near Dahill Road since 1965.
Buzz is the last man standing in the world of slot car racing in Brooklyn. A New York Times article, "Brooklyn’s Buzz-a-Rama Is Heaven for Slot-Car Fans," describes the game: "Slot cars, which drivers control with a hand-held throttle, go fast—some upward of 100 miles per hour—but getting them to that point demands slow, intensive, hands-on labor. Enthusiasts spend their free time taking the cars apart, tinkering with the motors, shaving down the tires for better balance and adjusting the gears."
