I always had a real weakness for the Dekon Monza's.

Wow! Check out these new Monogram slot cars on the Electric Dreams website, the #11 1965 Ford of Ned Jarrett and the #22 1963 Ford of Fireball Roberts!

God, this was one of my favorite slot cars.

Here is a pic of one of my favorites. A 1967 Austin Mini pickup that I restored while overseas (1997). I brought it back with me, then like a dummy, I sold it in 2000.

It's already a pretty difficult car to resist but it'll become absolutely impossible if Chrysler starts producing these in colours like Curious Yellow, Panther Pink, and Plum Crazy:

Marty Robbins, the famous country and western singer, competed in 35 NASCAR Grand National stock car races from the late sixties through the early eighties:

Marty Robbins' NASCAR career

This was quite the achievement for a fellow who was effectively an amateur going up against well financed professional teams. Here's a pic of his 1972 Dodge Charger leading a pack of cars:



And here are some pics of his 1973-74 Dodge Charger:





And here are a couple of pics of his 1975-76 Dodge magnum:





This website contains quite a few more great pics of Marty's dodges and other cool stockers:

Sweet, Tim! When I win the lottery, I want a '62 Impala convertible, white with red interior.... 409 with an auto transmission. I want it for the speaker between the rear seats!

[Tim Neja]

What I'd LOVE to find is an original "bubble top" '62 Impala!! But I don't think I can afford one of those!!

I STOLE this one from a guy in Burbank that had been doing his own restore on it and owned it for fifteen years!! It's in really nice shape - not perfect - but a great driver!!

Here's one of my favorite toys to play with.



To bad she's been sitting in the garage the last two years due to lack of funds.

Originally a 340 four-speed car, she now sports a warmed over 440 with a 727, and 4:11 spool rear. Running on street tires through tiny 2-1/2" exhaust with mufflers, the day I had it to the track she turned an 11.83. Need to drop the exhaust, rejet the carb, and add some slicks and she'll really fly.

Wow! Neat car!

I just made a more modest addition to my collection of M.I.B. slot car kits:

[Vay Jonynas]

Here's the latest two additions to my collection of M.I.B. slot car kits from the sixties. I believe that they're both among the toughest Monogram kits to find.

[Tim Neja]

Just to make ya jealous - I've got another toy a buddy took my picture of while I was playing in his parking lot!!!

1969 Yenko Camaro - 427, aluminum four-speed, 3.73 posi!! She's real fun to drive!!!

[Darkron9]

Take that, Brawn GP!

Takes all three of Ginther, Ireland and Bonnier to drive that complex sidewinder V12...

[Vay Jonynas]

I've always been partial to the 1971 Plymouth Roadrunners. Here's one with a wild curious yellow paint job:

Vay, you need to format your pictures with a max size of 800 pixels please. These large pictures cost us a lot of money and I am the one paying the bill.

Of course you COULD use the "donate" button at the bottom left of the page... hint, hint.

[Vay Jonynas]

Donation made! Very easily too with a PayPal account!

I think I'll go look for some big pictures now. Is Godzilla related to slot cars in any way?

[H10]

My favorite car is the Stockcar F1 (they drive on a oval in the UK and Holland).

That's turn 2 at Vegas - I'm somewhere in the middle of those spectators... I watched the whole race from there as that was one of the few passing zones on that track.

Gotta love dirt cars... LOL!!

I still love this series of jalopy pics:

Here's Bob racing last summer during a scheduled Jalopy race.

(Bob getting ready for a heat race)


(Bob off the starting grid.....)


(Bob into the first turns-he's in the dark jalopy, in yellow lane, door handle to door handle for 2nd)


Bob on the "hotseat" turn marshal position- he has to cover the Union 76 turns and the entrance to the pit straight)




(Bob's ride- #53)

Interesting too are the slot cars they brought along with them to run on the track!
