May he rest in peace. I remember the day he died. His experiences were a far cry from all this. For that matter, many of my favorites from way back when as a child are gone. It all drove me to give up reading things like Road & Track, CD, and AutoWeek. Sad. I still have a hand-made, soldered brass chassis and all, slot car modeled exactly after Bruce McLaren's no. 4....I never was beaten on the 'track'.
