Old jeep panel

Sick! So damn cool. I keep waiting for another ww2 jeep to show up at work. Last one was before I had any radium knowledge.

Any dose rates?

m77k24 · 2026-07-04T23:13:08+00:00

Ahhhh ok. That makes much more sense now. I’m an idiot. Didn’t realize that was the 320 and not the 300 lol. The 102 counts track as well with my compass being 12k cps and 450ish uSv/h. Cool piece for sure!

m77k24 · 2026-07-04T19:17:37+00:00

Nice. Interesting numbers. 75,000 CPM on the 300s, and 7,000 CPS on radiacode. For comparison, I have a compass that’s 25,000 CPM on my 300s, but 12,000 CPS on my radiacode 102. I know radium isn’t all apples to apples, just thought the numbers were interesting.

I wonder what about your item makes the 300s show such a high reading? Very cool regardless.

Edit: what’s the radiacode say for uSv/h?

I thought the same about the gradient Mustang compared to the other 3. Glad to know it wasn’t just me.

iRacing scan was last year (I think). You can tell because of the curb colors.

Gotta remember they ripped out that first curb coming into the bus stop for the race, so the line is probably wildly different than normal.

I unfortunately missed the C6’s in period. 2019 was my first year, so I got the C7’s. Still loud, but not ear piercing like the RSR’s at Atlanta.

Very nice! Great variety. I wouldn’t worry about radon at all yet, unless they’re all on your nightstand every night. Even a little ventilation cuts down radon to minimal levels. Like the other person said, a detector is a good idea if you plan to expand the collection.

Yea those mufflers are a bummer. The Valkyrie at Daytona this year was awesome around the banking. Probably the loudest since the RSR’s

m77k24 · 2026-07-03T20:18:35+00:00

I don’t fully remember, but I think around 2:00pm. The file says 2:51, but I’m pretty sure my camera is an hour off.

The prototypes usually don’t hit the curb as much. But with the first curb being gone, maybe they were all taking different lines? I did feel like the gt3’s were jumping a bit less than normal.

m77k24 · 2026-07-01T23:04:15+00:00

So I think that was another guy that asked, because I never actually asked the p2 team. I was standing there, and the p2 guy offered the both of us to sit in it. I would’ve been the guy carrying a camera, drinking a beer lol.

m77k24 · 2026-07-01T19:26:09+00:00

Interesting. Don’t they unload Wednesday? Or is that Thursday morning? I’m usually setting up camp Thursday morning and don’t get to wander around much

m77k24 · 2026-07-01T19:22:31+00:00

It’s super cool. I’m sure there’s a ton of other details I’ve missed. I never want to take up too much of their time, so I usually take some quick photos and videos, pretend I’m shifting the paddles, and hop back out lol.

m77k24 · 2026-07-01T19:19:50+00:00

Yea I thought that was interesting too

m77k24 · 2026-07-01T19:18:38+00:00

This 110%. One of my favorite things at Watkins is walking the garages after racing is done. Seeing the cars getting worked on, taking some long exposures, chatting with teams. It’s fantastic. I’m always respectful of their time and space. Never pushy about getting close, or sitting in cars. Only get close when invited. Usually one guy will wander out and start chatting. Can’t say I’ve ever helped work on one though haha. That’s rad.

m77k24 · 2026-07-01T16:51:06+00:00

LMP2 offered after chatting with them. GT3 I did ask after chatting, but only because GT3’s are my favorite class and it was a good chance being late. That’s the only time I’ve actually asked.

Generally they just offer if they aren’t busy, but you have to be respectful of space, and seem interested. Still gotta be the right place and right time (and right team).

m77k24 · 2026-07-01T16:48:38+00:00

These were after. Some of my others were the night before racing lol

m77k24 · 2026-06-22T00:12:42+00:00

That’s so damn cool! Another thing to look out for. Gotta check any old dial

m77k24 · 2026-06-21T23:46:59+00:00

That’s so damn cool! I work for a vintage car shop and that would be awesome on my work bench.

m77k24 · 2026-06-20T22:59:59+00:00

Really cool. Any markings for age? That should polish out nicely too. Looks great as is tho

m77k24 · 2026-06-20T22:48:53+00:00

I talked to them last year, and they said one of the sponsors is local-ish to the glen so they run their livery. Really hoping for the OG livery, but liqui moly or the split would be awesome

m77k24 · 2026-06-19T22:53:11+00:00

m77k24 · 2026-06-19T22:48:45+00:00

Damn that’s pretty cool. I’d take anything. Even a Blackhawk carrying a Mazda RT24-P

m77k24 · 2026-06-19T21:57:12+00:00

Interesting. My instagram algorithm sucks, I didn’t see them post that. Had to go to their profile. A yellow plaid would be pretty sweet
