A major electronic advance in road racing.
Now you can pass, switch lanes, and block your opponent! This is real switching and blocking that you operate by remote control. You can switch from the outside to the inside lane. Or vice versa. And if you get blocked, in either lane, you can switch to the free land and escape the traps. You’ll find yourself in dozens of real racing situations that call for skill and split-second timing. But, with the Eldon Selectronic Set, you’re in command. You control the speed. You control the switching. No matter which lane your car is in. No matter how many times you change lanes. That’s the secret of Eldon’s Selectronic Road Race Set. Your toy or hobby dealer will be happy to let you in on it.

Looking at this ad for a sweepstakes to win a Strombecker Slot Car set makes me wonder if the issue of Boy’s Life that, 40 years later, ended up being scanned for the Google Books archive might have been the winning entry.
It would be like finding Wonka’s Golden Ticket decades after Willy Wonka gave Violet Beauregarde and Augustus Gloop the grand tour.

The only slow-moving thing in Team McLaren is Rick McTurtle, the mascot Bruce McLaren found trying to cross the track during practice at St. Jovite. Rick has a lot of torque, but he doesn’t rev very fast.
The McLaren Can-Am cars are something else. They finished 1-2 at Watkins Glen and proved again that they were the fastest road-racing cars the world has ever seen. Bruce McLaren knocked 1.99 seconds off the outright practice lap record for the Glen, set last year by a Formula One Lotus. And Denis Hulme cut 2.62 seconds off the race lap record, also set by a Formula Once car, lappint at 132.27 mph.
The McLaren M8Bs are powered by 427 Chevrolet engines, with a lot of McLaren magic added. They develop 625 hp at 7,000 rpm, and 570 lbs/ft of torque. They run on Gulf NoNox gasoline and Gulfpride Formula G motor oil—products you can buy for your car at any Gulf station. Switch to them now.

Bred from the tires that triumph on the track…the Dunlop Road Speed RS5
This is the highway equivalent of the famous Dunlop R5 racint tire…the tire that has carried more International Grand Prix racing champions to victory than any other tire.
The Road Speed RS5 take sustained speeds up to 130 mph in stride, with superb steering control and road-holding traction. On wet pavement, the RS5 more than holds it own, with hi-styrene polymers in the rubber compound contributing maximum wet-hold capability. Patented “Safety-Shoulders” carry the tire smoothly over shoulder ridges, highway dividers and give the tire added traction in high speed cornering. Low angle prime nylon ply construction keeps a tight grip on the tire crown at high speeds…keeps the flat 7-rib tread hugging the road through every driving maneuver.
If you drive a high-speed sports car or fast saloon and want to capitalize on both its performance potential and everyday serviceability…the Dunlop Road Speed RS5 is the tire for you. Try a set…at your nearest Dunlop dealer. You’ll find him in your Yellow Pages or write.
