First - new tires for the 500. And I literally just updated them while sitting here in the Pagoda Plaza waiting for last row qualifying to start: www.indycals.net/decals/tires/2023indytires.htmlThe McLarens: The orange seems more traditional McLaren orange than what they've been using recently - doesn't pop 'quite' as much as it did last week. The only exception is the orange on the wheels -that IS dayglo orange. The #5 is two tone metallic grey and black. The metallic grey has a slight greenish hue to it. The #6 looks incredibly like a McLaren Mp4/4 even though it's not dayglo red. The nose profiles are very similar. The #66 doesn't look all that great in person. The #7 looks great and Johnny Rutherford was even in the qualifying shots with Rossi The orange on the front endplates on Dixon's car is a different orange than the rest of the car - it has a redder-hue to it. Conor's car is a train wreck. The colors are nice but it's WAY to busy. I do know for a fact that it was NOT designed by a professional (and it shows). On Josef's Shell car it looks like a yellow to red fade. It is not. It is a yellow to BUTTERSCOTCH to red fade. It is a nice looking car. The #10 and #11 are very boring There's no OMIGOD I LOVE THIS CAR for me like there was last week with Rosenquists car (that car was GORGEOUS!) My personal faves are the #6, #7 and Josef's car. There's only a couple "there's no way in hell I'm doing that car" in the field (but in accordance with my policy to not say I will ever do or never do a car, I'm not saying which ones they are).

Also... if you're going to be at the Memorabilia show, I will have something game-changing. Although it might not all be 100% ready (but I will have some for sale). No further comments or hints. You'll have to wait until Thursday.

Everything that I brought to sell and display safely made it to Indy. (not a lot, as it has to fit in a single suitcase). But I'm glad I have downtime until 5pm today as I still have a lot of behind the scenes work to do - that still may not be done this week, but won't stop the official release at the show.
In fact originally I wasn't going to do anything for the show this year. Then something came up in March and I got an idea, but the original idea was just to have something to display as 'coming this summer'. But things progressed faster and better than anticipated (which is almost unheard of in this hobby🤞) and I was able to develop product for sale.

Your progress and development has been incredible this spring! Your problem solving skills are always impressive 👏

And just FYI, my product will be on display all three days, but I won't. I will only be at the show for 30 minutes today and probably not at all tomorrow, but I will be there all day Saturday. Frankly I am NOT happy with the three day setup - one is plenty.

Michael, I had sent a few messages. How about adding tire decals for both Indy and non Indy versions in 1/20 scale? Thanks.

Hey Calvin, any progress on the 20-23 Dallara? No, not recently as I have a huge insane crazy project I've been working on lately. But my intentions is to get the Dallara done right after this summer
