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?

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:![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u84UgJDW5agsVKDZDRryydRpZS32Iks3o-K5ouug00Wm5hjQMpII1aXXAJi2ykHaqk_hFcYmvrm64G7NHbf9ZZOh_Hxjyx5uMtaZR1xHQzBRB9m3ZipJQ4ZS_7Kj8yTs2ZZwtTOzjK-yIUv77Vs7DlwDJM=s0-d)

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.![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tIbfhKkTrq2_--6gNxHd_YlnuWa9T-aO87YRk76uG8V3ix67gSt8Ia_2T5dF5rPTj633sS2It9HzK0RXfV4nLEEPUT-QlCPzsTcmtvXr3Upj0GqOE9-pCig-dw8vri0m129Nd-glERMZ9g4evOAT-z7xQ1=s0-d)
