Stop it! I still can't get over the hand lettering on HO no less! EXCELLENT stuff as always Sir!

I don't think it will ever exist, but what a blast it would be to see about 20 of these cars of yours line up 2-by-2 for a digital HO race on a big oval. Draw for starting positions, and if you spin or crash you go to the rear for the restart. Just the qualifying heats to select the starting field would be awesome.

Who's your money on? Treichler, Tremont, Pauch, DeSantis, Hearn, Paine, Decker, ...

Wow, Thanks for that lineup and the memories all these cars and drivers bring back. I was a regular at Orange County Fair Speedway in the late 70's and early 80's, and then began weekend trips to tracks in upstate NY, PA, and NJ in the mid 80's, so I got to see all these cars in action.

A heat with 14 cars of that quality is mind blowing. Even if 6 qualify it would be a real dogfight. And yes, if it's a long race on a big track, "forget about it", Gary Balough in the 112 is coming to the front from any starting position.

As for the Grant King Gremlin mods, I remember Billy Osmun in the #73 lining up beside Buzzie Reutimann in the #00 in the 17th and 18th positions of the starting grid for 30 lap features week after week at OCFS as they battled for the championship. I think the track program, 'Hard Clay' said Osmun was averaging 6 laps to go from 18th to first on a weekly basis.

Getting to relive those times and races with slot cars is why we do this with so much passion.
