Hello everyone.I just found the site tonight,and hope I can slide in somewhere.My name is Jim,and I live in southern Ohio. I have been builing models since 1958,and have a collection of Indy winners I`ve built. I started going to Indy in 1962,and didn`t stop till 1985. I also love the old sprint cars. I use to watch Larry Dickson on the short tracks just south of here in Marietta,OH. God Speed........

i remember as a kid about 1964 seeing pete folse in an imca car go end over end down the frontstretch at the tampa state fair. he knocked down a cameraman who was looking torward the first turn. fortunately everyone was unhurt.

I made a 1/25 scale sprinter using the old Monogram midget body,and the Revell Orange Crate kit ,suspension,and the tires,and Wheels.I would like to send you a picture,but I haven`t figured that out yet.My cars are on the Scale Auto magizine, gallary now starting on page 3 I believe.You might check them out there.
