New member. Been watching for quite a while. Been modeling since the late 1950s--makes me an old timer. Primary interest is front engined indy cars (especially Novi) and sprinters. As my user name indicates, I grew up a stone's throw from the "Ascot of the East" and saw many Indy 500 winners race there, even after they won at Indy. For you really old-timers, I was there the day Van Johnson died and saw Tommy Hinnershitz many times. Big Hurtubise fan.

Been building Lance Sellers and Gary Ducette resin models lately and have a few Etzel's that I am reluctant to start. Some interest in front engined grand prix cars. Seen some beautiful work on this site.

Don't look at it like it makes your work amateurish, look at it as inspiration!

Welcome aboard!
Hope you post some of your work as we have similar taste in models.

Welcome, it isn't about who's the best model builder, it's about the fun. And boy do we have fun.

Yep - lots of range of interest here from different eras, scales, media, etc but we all have the same love of racing. Welcome - feel free to jump right on in!
