You young uns won't recognize what http://dvice.com/archives/2011/12/classic-1971-po.php, but us old farts do. Just think of it as the XBox of its day.

Most of the car magazines I get have slot car ads in them now, which surprised me cuz I thought they more or less died out with the passing of the 70's.
So I guess it's either "new again" with the young-uns &/or kept alive by us old farts!

I think they should've thought this 917 set-up through a bit more though, cuz to appreciate the 917 cover it needs to mount low, but the best racing set-up is table height.
Besides, if it's low it just gives us old farts another reason to keep the Advil folks in business from bending over racing the slot cars!

I remember building custom slot cars with the clear blow molded bodies that you painted on the inside back in the 60's.

Mom always got so mad that I was wasting my money on those dang stupid toy cars!

Cheers!
Tom

That is awesome. The ultimate man cave accessory.
