VSRN-
Just bought a book that I was impressed with and thought I'd pass along my endorsement.
The book is called "Driven, The Racing Photography of Jesse Alexander 1954-1962”.
It's a hard cover book with 144 pages and in black and white with lots of great shots of the
cars of the era with a few of the drivers. The book cost $6.99 from Edward R. Hamilton
Bookseller, EdwardRHamilton.com. The regular price was $35.00.
They have other car related books at closeout prices also, you might want to check them out.

Glad to see a new issue!  I thought you were gone.  Great issue!
Enjoyed the stuff on the Strombecker track, I wish you would do one on the Eldon 1/24 scale track.
I've always thought it was the better of the two full size tracks.  Thanks again.
David Green

(Ed Note:  Thanks for the comments. I don’t have too much info on the Eldon 1/24 scale track,
although I did see a set once. I’ll see what I do have from the old VSRN article we did a long time ago.
Can anyone else help with photos, etc? Thanks!)

Here’s a picture of a Russkit 25 motor. I have seen that Russkit advertised that the #25 motor utilized the
"Stackpole" magnets in one of the Russkit dealer catalogs which my friend has.  My dad's father's name
was Stackpole and I believe related to owners of Stackpole Carbon Company.  I believe this company still
is in business with a new name.  I have a #25 motor, and I bought 10 similar "clones" which are identical but
with the Russkit script removed and the shaft turned down just at the end for a smaller hole pinion gear.

Appear to be for some industrial or commercial use.
If the winding is similar I will build some slots up with some of these.
Keep it in the you know what….
