Thanks for the notification, Al. May he rest in peace. His catalogs were required reading when I was a youngster and I'm sure had more to do with my infatuation with slot cars than any other single thing. May he always be remembered for his addition to the hobby, what a resource he was.

Just thinking the other day how cherished the Auto World catalog was for me as a kid. Slot cars, Hop Up parts, model car kits, hobby tools. Man, it was right up there with the Sears Christmas catalog, maybe even more.
Sorry to hear the founder of the Polish Racing Association has passed.

Sad to hear, I'm not sure if I met him when Bob Beers attempted to have a Show at the original Auto World location but wound up being in a mall. Rest in Peace Oscar
