I'll start it off with a photo of my old slot car box (now in Scott Bader's LASCM).
It's easy to spot in Scott's museum with its USRA letters on the box. This box also has some old stickers/labels from the '60s.
Here's a few photos of some of the stickers/labels. Post photos of your old box labels if you have any to share.
My old slot car box was still in my parent's garage. It had been sitting idle for 37 years before I rediscovered slot car racing in 2006.
Steube and Champion labels along with a decal from Dan Gurney's All American Racers shop in Santa Ana, CA.
The Bondurant label was acquired as a participant at the Car Model race in '68 which Charlie Nelson won the first-ever Western States race. Charlie won a driving course at the Bondurant school, but since he was fifteen at the time, he gave the prize to Doug Henline. The smaller red lane sticker is from Checkered Flag Raceway in Torrance, CA. This raceway hosted the fourth Rod and Custom race (1966) which Mike Morrissey won and Mike Steube was top qualifier in his first ever R&C race. A fourteen-year-old employee at the track named Roger Newell was second in this race and eleven-year-old Larry Anderson was fourth in the main.
Sometimes, a simple label or sticker reminds us of some wonderful times in our past.
