Slot Car Racing

[Steve Holmes]

Odd thread for a motorsport forum but made me think back to my pre teenage years when instead of putting my hard earned dollars into buying stick magazines I spent the dosh on slot cars and other boyish interests. I've just had a quick look and whilst the
Vanwell and Lotus cars have long since disappeared, I did find an unpainted, vacuum formed fast back Anglia body and a very early Porsche F1. Does this qualify me as a collector of historic race cars??????????????? (The investment in stick mags came later)

Gee Russ, did they have stick mags back then? Just so you know, original copies of the first issue of Playboy are apparently quite valuable.

My best ever result at Le Mans......



3 person team.
Son set fastest lap at about hour 10.
Used 3 sets rears
Same engine
Porsche

Tried 3 or 4 different body shapes in prior testing and Porsche was quickest...same chassis/engine
