traditional Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 These are all old builds.....at least 25 years old except for the maroon flamed Monogram midget which is about 40 years old. I may have shown a couple of these on here before, but I've just been trying out my new 'photo tent' and these are fresh pics. Late '60 sprint car modified from Monogram' s 'super Modified Sportsman' Early '70s sprint shortened and modified from AMT's Grant King Racer '60s midget...modified from Monogram's Midget Hot Shot Modified from Monograms original midget kit from the '50s....a basic Curtis midget 1

Although I live a long distance away from Williams Grove Speedway, it's without a doubt my favorite track and I try to get there at least once a summer......lots of great 410 racing, beautiful location, reasonable price, and NON SMOKING. This year, weather permitting, I'm planning to go on July 29....the same weekend that I go to the car show/toy show in Macungie PA. In the same trip, I also always try to get to the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in Latimore.......a fabulous racing museum run mostly by dedicated racers. Years ago, my brother and I restored an old midget racer that is now part of our old car collection.
DrKerry Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Love them, they look like they were built yesterday!!! Great stuff!!!
TooOld Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Great collection of vintage models ! Your photos are definitely worth saving for future reference .
