Dr. V's Slot-Car Salon: Scalextric Ford GT40

When I was a kid, I used to read my old man's Road & Track magazines. I remember my favourite repeating column being the Salon. Basically, it was a really nice photo spread of some very cool car. So, In that spirit, I bring you the Slot Car News Salon: the most recent acquisition to the 1/32 scale garages of DrVanski Racing:


The Ford GT40s came with my very first set. Any slot car in a Gulf livery is like a proverbial "puppy in the window" so I simply can't resist. The #11 car I picked up from FanatasyWorldHobbies. The #1 car was a good score used in Slot Car Illustrated's Buy and Sell area.


These are great looking cars and were my introduction to slots so what's not to like.? Granted: I have yet to set one up for non-mag running. Any pointers in that regard?
