That's a neat looking race car. Where did you use to run it? Was it a commercial track or was it at a club/home location?

Nice, Todd. It's amazing what a good road course slot car chassis (and motor, for that matter) used to look like.
No home ground Graupner rear rubber for you - Hush Puppy slicks - that's awesome!
The model/slot car magazines of the 1960s where full of builds like these, right?
Some cringe when comparing this type of car to today's speed sleds riding 1/16" above the track.
I think it's cool, and thanks for sharing the photo of what state of the art was back in the day.
Those Hush Puppy shoes used to really stink when you sweated in them, remember? Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)
