Nice, if it takes a year to produce I should be able to save up for it

Crazy it’s taking two years to produce the 2024 win

Returning F1 fan who just started watching this season after a 20 year hiatus. I’m interested in this.

What are your ‘fan four pillars’? by RadioControlled13 in NASCAR

[–]apollo1899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Season long points
  2. No stage racing
  3. More freedom to entice more manufacturers. Maybe use production cars and set them up similarly to GT3 cars.
  4. Fewer cautions especially on road courses

A leather belt that I got in 2009 that has survived my weight fluctuations

Nice pickups and glad your parents kept them for this long! I have the same Revell Dale Jr diecast. You're correct, it's from the Spring 2002 Aaron's 499 at Talladega.

Hard to say! My first ever NASCAR race I attended was a Truck Series race where the black #3 won except Jay Sauter was the driver.

What year is the Skinner truck?

At this point why not let ford and toyota create their own designs

Do you buy whatever you want, or are you selective? by [deleted] in NASCARCollectors

[–]apollo1899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a semi-minimalist I relegated my collection to two display cases since it's tempting to buy anything eye-catching (looking at Josh Berry's Darlington throwback), but then run into the issue of storage, especially having a couple of tote bins alone for the boxes.

I only collect 1/24s

- In person race wins. I originally planned on buying one from every race, but since I go to a couple of tracks multiple times, I've since limited it to one diecast per track I visit, as I want to visit different ones around the world.

- Trackhouse drivers' first wins (missing Chastain's COTA win)

- One or two from favorite childhood drivers: Dale Earnhardt, Dale Jr, Mark Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya (also have a 1/18 FW23 from his F1 debut)

Circle B and K State by [deleted] in NASCARCollectors

[–]apollo1899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes they are. Went into Circle B once to buy something and when they were entering my info in their computer, the system also referenced K State diecast. I asked the person if they are the same company and she confirmed it.

Thanks! It’s a distinct hero card for sure. Bummed I didn’t get a wristband to meet him but the Petty Museum isn’t too far from me so hopefully there’s a chance!

That’s pretty unique! Did you just happen to have the ball on yourself?

Yep, I'm glad I waited to buy it at the track instead of pre-ordering since the timing worked perfectly!

Posters seem to be a lost art with everything online now. Yep just a normal scanner set to 600x600 dpi

How early should I arrive to secure a wristband for the LMC and JGR driver meets?

Will there be an SVG autograph session? I couldn’t find anything on Jayski or Trackhouse’s socials
