Rich, I find HO scale to be confusing (but it's good for my brain). There's 1/87, 1/64, 1/76 scales, all considered to be HO. The easiest explanation I found so far is the "chassis" is HO, not necessarily the body. The article I read gave this for a reason: If you have a 1/64th scale VW Bug and you can exchange the VW body for a 1/64 Dodge Charger, they BOTH can't be the same scale. But you are right, that Willys, is a 1/87 scale not 1/64. I really like your coach. What body did you start with? Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have a 10' four lane oval set up, I'm looking forward to building some cars, should be interesting with hands like bigfoot......I too went to Thompson in the 60's. I remember getting a few splinters in my butt, when I slid on the wooden bleachers!....But(t) it was worth it.
We used to go, If I remember correctly:
Friday: Stafford
Saturday: Riverside, Lebanon, Malta or Fonda
Sunday: Thompson
I thank my Dad, who knew NOTHING about cars, for bringing me every week (just to shut me up).
