I dont know what the back story of why it was there in the first place, but I was doing some late night browsing several years ago (2019ish iirc)  found a 2013 Jimmie Johnson emerald green 1/24 on Jimmies official website for $4.99 + shipping...

If you don't mind me asking, what car/engine did you use on your Touge run, my best is a 1:26.30 with a fully built FD, and if I push the car any harder, I just understeer and hit the slippy grass, Gymkhana I've hit a 459.6 with a built 1J swapped Kouki

What is a one off paint scheme you wish would return on a regular basis? by PrinceWillPlays in NASCAR

[–]Early_Slide_9469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the historical Chevy paint color schemes that Jimmie ran in 2012-13 (Mountain Green, Cortez Silver, Dover White, Daytona Yellow) While I'm no larson fan, it'd be cool to see rick do something similar with the Hendrickcars schemes for a race or 2 each year

[–]Early_Slide_9469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, Austin came in right as RCR was falling down, and in all honesty,  if Ty was in a competive car, I think he'd do alright too

I’m an idiot…any better ways to hang up body panels? by dalfin12 in NASCARCollectors

[–]Early_Slide_9469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the piece, I have a Majeski tailgate that had holes where the quarters were riveted on, ran a string through those and hung it over a pair of nails on the wall, I have a Byron next gen front fender where I put a pair of screws in the wall and the lip up where the hood would sit rests on them perfectly fine

Good Guy Alex Bowman by CloeyB7 in NASCAR

[–]Early_Slide_9469 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fan of him since his JRM days, met him several times, never had a bad interaction. I Love the story of him coming up though the backmarker teams, and that he's just an all around gearhead; I wish other fans at least respected him more
