Hi, my name is Paul and I just joined this forum.
I have been modeling on and off for almost fifty years. My modeling interests are in race vehicles. I grew up going to the drags at Lions and Irwindale, the sprints at Ascot, and road-racing at Riverside. I also got to attend a couple of F1 races in the 70's while stationed in Germany. So my modeling follows those themes. My favorite era for race cars is from 60-79.
Some of you may recognize me from other forums, where my screen name is the same. I picked that name because I would rather use two wheels. I currently own 14 bicycles and 9 motorcycles. (Yes, the avatar is me!)
I currently follow(religiously) MotoGP and WSBK. By far the best racing (and passing) these days. Though this season of F1 is turning out to be interesting.
I know I will learn from this forum and hopefully be able to contribute something to it.
Paul

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Patrick: Hi Nor Cal! Where-abouts in NorCal? Russ: You got that wrong, you're just up the freeway from me. ;D But I have a question. Would a fuel dragster from the 60's(or any era) qualify as an open-wheeler? After all, it is open-wheeled.  |
