SLOT CAR STUFF

This blog is dedicated to my interests in all things racing,

from slot cars, models, videos, books to die casts.

Here are a few images of the Lotus 72 F1 car that I have in my

collection and also the inspiration for the name of this blog.

Above is a 1/18 scale Corgi die cast model from the late 70's.

This is a 1/32 scale working slot car made by 

Vanquish MG - notable in that it has a working differential!

This is the same car as above. The Lotus 72 is the iconic car from the 70's F1 series.

1973 was the first time that I followed an entire season of Formula 1. 

Only two races were televised at that time with the rest of the coverage

 through magazines and the news.

There will be lots more slot car related material in future posts!

TORONTO INDY 2012

Me with Rubens Barrichello at this years Toronto Indy - and yes he signed my program.

Here I am with Justin Wilson - at 6'4" I don't know how he fits in a race car.
