Slot track in USA TV show - Scuderia_Turini - 20th-Apr-19

This is a short excerpt from the 1969 TV series "The Name Of The Game"  Episode S02E05 - "Chains Of Command".
 
Brief view of a layout and a Ford GT/GT40.  Interesting conversation as the scene closes.
The backstory is about illegal immigrants crossing the USA/Mexico border - some things never change.
Full video is on YouTube with slot car bit at 16:30 (mm:ss).

1 - Robert Stack seems to have been happy - married to same woman from 1956 until he died in 2003.
2 - Can it be that it was all so simple then,  or has time rewritten every line?
