Another Lotus. This time the 29. Colin Chapman’s first effort at an Indycar. Definitely ahead of its time but they did slightly underestimate the continued development of the Watson. Clark’s 2nd place car

Don’t post here often enough. My latest completion. A really nice kit from Tamiya that now has me headed down the Lotus rabbit hole. More Lotuses…Lotii? 😂 Whatever. To come.

Scale modeling friends, check out my friend’s new blog. He’s a great guy and an awesome builder that’s just gotten back into the hobby the past couple years. He’s already better than me and gets even better every build!

Not a race car this time but a very fun build, nonetheless.

Just finished up this really excellent Meng GT40 in 1/24 scale. A beautiful kit showcasing the joys of modern tooling. I chose the 3rd place finisher from the ‘66 24 hours of Le Mans driven by Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson. I’ve always loved the gold on this car.

Had a pretty cool weekend. Got the chance to see some really remarkable and beautiful old race cars again this year. Wish the Miller meet would come to Indy every year but I’m thankful I got to go the past couple years. Another great event.

What a beauty. The T1G remains one of the prettiest racecars of all time.

Always a little sad when the memories of the Indianapolis USGP pop up. I loved that event, tire fiasco and all. We went every year.

Danny Sullivan took over Gil deFerran's car in #indycar 1998 to narrate a lap around Laguna Seca.

Hey, You guys remember when Formula 1 rejected the Andretti Global bid because they “wouldn’t add value to the championship and they wouldn’t be competitive”…you know, unlike the powerhouse Williams team…Pepperidge Farms remembers.

As a quick aside, do we need to count how many sponsors, that we are so concerned about keeping/losing, that didn’t return the following year? And they were IN the Indy500. I’m talking sponsors that were on the sidepods during the race, and then didn’t return the following season. They made the race! Do we want to make a list? Hell, Huski Chocolate won the #indy500… doesn’t look like they will be back. Bitnile had three cars last year, doesn’t appear they are coming back. Deloitte, CareKeepers, Sodexo, SmartStop, PeopleReady, BioHaven, Kulr, Hendrickson? Are they coming back?? Unlikely. You know who is coming back? United Rentals. Who didn’t make the race. It’s just an excuse. #Fastest33

Just reading these few words makes me physically ill. Turn it into just another race. That’ll be good for the sport.

Finished up this ancient resin Novi from Bill Jorgensen. A Christmas gift for my Dad, who loved the Novis. This was a challenging build but had fun with it. Wire wheels from Fernando Pinto really set it off.

Finished up the old Tamiya Audi Quattro rally as raced in the 82 Acropolis Rally by Michele Mouton, who won the race in it. Nice kit and a fun build.
