The cool part about JL's was the notch underneath that worked with the JL ractrack hook/catapult. The cars may have been lame, but at least you could RACE 'em without having to rely on gravity.

By then you had forgotten all about it so it was a nice surprise. Until you opened it and were disappointed again, this time by the cheapness and tiny size of whatever gizmo you had gotten "free."
