There's another guy starting a Facebook page dedicated to saving the 1/16 drag racing model car hobby...I don't know if anyone has established getting that link or not, it certainly sounds interesting to be sure, I intend to check it out because I think that is a great idea... I'm looking forward to meeting some of your aquaintence there as well! We need to spread the word about this stuff so tell your buddys...the survival of 1/16 is depending on it!! I'm on a mission to convince the modeling world that 1/16, is THE choice scale to build model cars in for the advanced hobbyist...it is for ALL of our benifit that it not only survive but flourish!

Call Revell directly at 1-847-758-3200...Revell itself needs to wake up and take notice that there is a 1/16modeling public out here that demands (not asks for) a product that they, not us have discontinued. Keep in mind calls have been met with many a deaf ear in the negotiations in product developement and management....Revell is now owned by Hobbico ...a privately owned hobby manufactering conglamarante. Many of Revell's people interested in drag race oreinted modeling are no longer with the company....

I'm of the opinion we need to swamp them with telephone calls...there's nothing like good ole fashioned persistance...can't hurt,.. the way it stands we have nothing...what would it hurt? Who cares if someone answering the phone gets sick of it...who cares if coprperate negotiators don't like to be bugged,... screw that theological sheild of resistance ....thats their job!!!! Revells corperate portfolio itself states that they are a company dedicated to serving the needs of its public...let's see that moto enforced instead of just some shallow preface of words only.....This is America folks...WE WILL NOT BE DENIED..got us a long way in this country...If we do not speak up this never ever ever happen...WE NEED 1/16 kits period,... nuff said......

Thank you ladies and gentleman for your support.....

Love...

Some of you may be wondering why I'm trying to give 1/16 modeling such a push

into action...I've got a very severe case of heart and lung disease...I have 8

stents from 4 heart attacks, the last one in August..The doc says I have 3 years

tops to live because my heart is dying and theres no chance I could survive a

transplant. I just feel I have enough experience to make a difference in the

quality and future of our hobby with the time I have left. Some days it will be

hard for me to fuction but it gives me purpose to pour everything into this that

I have left. With nearly 40 years specifically in 1/16 I think I'm qualified to

spearhead a resurgence of quantity of 1/16 product, and to be a mediator on the

business end ,on 1/16ths behalf...That's it guys...thats my reasoning. I don't

want any ones pity..God forbid. I'm just trying to earn back some respect...help

the hobby and in some way and in the same way show guys how much I love this

hobby. I care enough to see that it's slowly dying and I'm counting on the

community to throw the hobby a life preserver...

Please I'm pleading with you...show 1/16 modelers how much you care about it...It only goes around once..let's make this a celebration of success and not a task...We can do this...
