Missing in Action Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I was digging through some old model boxes and found this... and this... and this... I hope y'all enjoy a blast from the past!!! Oh,It still runs!!!!
Missing in Action Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Really cool. Was it yours? Actually it belonged to my brother Barry who passed away in 2001.I put up 10 years ago and "forgot about it".So I'm it's "caretaker" now...I intend to pass it down to my son someday!!!Back in it's heyday it always drew a crowd just to watch it do a full "1/4 mile" on the scale dragstrip all the way up on the "wheelie wheels"...just like thr real truck!!! Alot of our racing friends tried to duplicate it with very little success...Because those huge rear tires was most of the trick(they are extremely hard to find,even now)!!! Thanks Roy
Krazy Rick Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) This is Fantastic Roy !!! - Your brother would be pleased !!....What a Great Piece.....Hope you Please tell me your plan on running her, before you pass on this on to your son Edited January 17, 2011 by Krazy Rick
Missing in Action Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Hopefully,but,no tracks around here anymore!
Funkster Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 How untrue, I came across two places in Milwaukee, WI. One place has a 1/32 race track. The other place has 3 HO race tracks, 2 1/32 reace tracks and one drag racing track.

I have found that their are more commercial tracks in colder climates. Racing slot cars is a huge winter sport. The further south you go the less tracks are publicly available.

disabled modeler Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Hi Roy.... Thats SWEET!!!! And its great to see you being a caretaker of it. I have my dads old models and am trying to restore them so they will be in the family for a long time to come. I came across a mid 60s GMC 2 ton road tractor body for that scale a few years ago in a box of stuff I found...pretty cool.
