That is impressive, Allan!!

Will it forego the rearview mirror as a 'not likely to survive the first deslot' item?

Again, a grand build!

Very nicely done. Great little project.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm glad you like it.

This car was built for Bob Taylor. When he started the 100 Years of Indy proxy idea; way back last Fall, I asked if I could build an Auto Union Type C. That car, of course, never ran at Indy. But, Bob found a pic of an Indy car that had to be a close cousin of the Type-C, so he said; "go ahead and build it." That was great, but I still felt I was on the fringe of not being kosher for this series, so I offered to build the Marmon Wasp as an even-the-score/get-back-in-the-game car. And that's how it started. The AU Type-C never saw the light of day; although it now had a new home in Ontario, CA. And the Wasp is now complete.

So, this one's for you, Bob. And it will likely find it's way to Perry, GA if it survives this series................

Time for you to get back into the slot car fun!

You did it! YOU DID IT!

Way to go Allan. They thought it couldn't be done but,

Wow, that's certainly got the 'X' factor.

I would say that runs pretty well for a 1911 car that won the first Indy with an average speed of about 75 mph.

That is one cool build Allan! Great to see a video of it running around the track as well!
Bravo sir, bravo!

Magnificent, Allan.
(at least you'll win Concours!)

Allan - super build and a fine looking car. Certainly one of the most unique ones I've seen.

I'm a little late to this party, but after reading through it all, I have to say...

Awesome work there Allan!! :banana-dance:
