Late 60s Can-Am coincided with my most active early slot years.
Your Golden Epoch?
Most motor racing folk look back to their favourite eras from time to time because we have brains that store memories. Like all 'disciplines' motor sport, in all its forms, has gone through highs and lows, but even during troughs, we can often reflect on something that has been stored in our minds with affection.
As usual your views and images will always be of great interest. And thanks.

The picture of the 60s era firesuit by Trisha reminded me of the debt all racers owe to pioneer safety inventor Bill Simpson. He introduced parachutes to drag racing, Nomex to drivers suits and several other devices to the sport. He knew how to get your attention at product demos, obviously!
