It ought to be the perfect slot car, the tri-pod effect. Depending on what it sells for I may get one.

Got to have this one. :)

Sorry, the real one does nothing for me and this generates the same response. I think it's great that someone is modeling for those that want it.

I thought the real one was brilliant, and I will have this (if affordable) to remember it by.

I'm on the fence about this one. Looks intriguing, but kind of strange at the same time. Reminds me of the "Thingie" era of the late '60's early '70's. Remember the Classic "Asp"? :roll:

Yeah, I think Frank, one of our HRW guys, has an Asp and a Classic Astro 5.

Looks cool, and yes I'd buy one when the time comes.

I am definitely not ready for that. There is no way that thing is going to stay upright under braking at the end of the broad arc that serves as my straight(ish) section. It'll roll like a tumbleweed. I reckon I'll be taking a pass on it. Ya'll have fun with it.

Nor Cal Mike,

Hey, I do believe this is 'one of those cars' that you either love or hate.

It is a paradigm in the world of race car designs. It is different.

But I'm sure that when Mickey Thompson brought his "Harvery Aluminum Special" to Indy in 1962 - a rear engine configuration - he was also told it was considered not worthy of running at Indy. But no need to worry as he did not qualify for the race that year. But in 1963 he showed up with a new and improved "Harvey Aluminum Special" and he did qualify the first rear engined car for the race.

Technology is just changing the way we live and in some cases, the way we think.
