It was Mario Andretti’s first race at the 24 Hours of LeMans
in 1966 and he was driving for the powerful Holman-Moody team. Expectations
were high. Mario had finished the prior year, his first as a professional, by
winning both the USAC Champ Car National Championship along with the Rookie of
the Year title. He was winning races again in ’66 on his way to a second
consecutive USAC Championship. The team paired Mario with frequent Formula 1
and sports car racer Lucien Bianchi. In spite of the potential, the speed just
wasn’t there. The car, chassis XGT1, qualified 12th and would only complete
about a quarter of the distance, 97 laps, before dropping out with a blown head
gasket.
The AFX SRT cars are the fastest HO slot cars on the market today.
This car features: neodymium magnets, hi torque gear ratios, non disengaging pick up
shoes, hi conductivity shoe springs, ground effects, hot armature, fully
assembled and ready to race on all HO scale slot car tracks including AFX, Auto
