Thanks for having me on board. Some of you may remember me from some of the other motorsports modeling boards or from other hobby-related venues through the years. I've had an interest in open-wheel for a while, up to now mostly F1 subjects, but lately I've wanted to expand (getting to the museum at IMS a few years back only made that more intense, and frequent daydreaming at the IndyCals website doesn't help either).
Although my interests are wide-ranging I find myself most interested in the cars of the '70s. Gordon Johncock's '73 Indy 500 winner is on my to-do list, as is the car in my avatar (those who remember me from Randy Ayers' forum will not be surprised by that). I know there's a lot I have to learn, both in terms of the real cars and the kits that are out there, but two decades in the education business has taught me you never really stop being a student.
I've learned a lot by looking in on this forum and I'm looking forward to learning more, to renewing some old acquaintances and beginning some new ones. Thank you again for having me here.

Great to have you here, Jodie. Nice to have another great builder join the fold. Lots of good things happening in the last few years for some of your named projects. Looking forward to you building them and sharing your experiences here.
I searched for Guthrie and found three pages of posts, including the lady herself admiring a build of one of her cars. Lots of good information here to be found via the search feature.

Thank you all for the welcome and the suggestions (and I did look up the photo of Janet admiring the model - a sweet picture!). I'm glad to be here and I look forward to being part of this little community.
