ABNSPR Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Hello all; Just wanted to introduce myself and join the excitement here. I started building models (eww those early glue bombs) as a teen after watching Days of Thunder and kept going until about 10 years ago when I took a break until 2019. I got back into the hobby to destress and take my mind off of the things I encounter in my professional life. In short I work, I sleep and I either build or teach shooting/shoot when I am not working or sleeping, so if I am slow to respond to you or miss you all together, please don't take it personally. Finally, I was born with a race car in the driveway and have been around them ever since. So until 3 years ago when the pro 2 off road team I worked on folded I have been covered in dirt, fuel and lubricants all of the time. Point is race cars are pretty much my exclusive domain. Here was the last car I built prior to going on hiatus.
89AKurt Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Welcome! I live about half an hour from you (at race speed).
misterNNL Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Nice to have another modeler on board. Welcome to the best and most inspirational site for modelers.
Danno Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Welcome, JD! Good to have you on board. Super nice sprinter, there. On a side note, if Kurt thinks he lives about a half-hour from you, then I guess I'm only 15 minutes! (I truly live about half-way between Mesa and Prescott.) I think Kurt's lost it! ??

Expand Prescott is one of my favorite places in AZ. I lived there as a child. Even at race speed there is still the perpetual yellow flag of the valley that kills everyone's lap time.

Expand Hello and thank you. Guess the time would depend on which way you were heading on the 60/101/202 or surface streets at which time of the day. Luckily I get to avoid all of that 90% of the time.
