Oscar Koveleski's 1971 Can-Am car, sponsored by Auto World. In the days before the web, Auto World was THE best mail order company for automotive plastic models and slot cars. Notice the wide stripe that forms a ring around Koveleski's car is a slot car track.

Yes and that pix is one of the few I've seen in recent times with the Autoworld Slot track grafic as was on the cover of the Yellow Auto World catalog I had as a kid in the 60's to early '70s. As I remember it, AW catalog was like the former Hemmings a sort of "Bible" for modeling...at the time with everything a modeler could want or need.

Perfect illustration of a few things in this pic. Such as young guys in awe of their hero race driver while perhaps same time awkward gawking at the attractive young lady; and too illustrates how small & short many race drivers, actors, astronauts etc. are when compared side by side to others.
