Gotta love them old cars, both slot and real!

Very nice!
But which race did he build that one for? Or do we have to guess?

Hi Jairus,

 

He built it in the context of this post with information by Team Russkit member Fred Larimer:

 

1966 Team Russkit 26D racer

 

So..........the second of the 2 sports car races that used heavier chassis seems ideal.
