Yes, this is my set I have manged to collect over the years.

Still not sure what the pin with crown was for. The king of the track?

They were given out for hours purchased of track time, which was written in your little logbook.

1, 2, 3, I can assume were race awards for first, second, and third

But who got the crown?

Anybody out there still have their original logbook?

Thanks, Nicky. Really nice complete set.

I see now I am missing the 250 pin and need a member tie clip also. Please let me know also if the clips will be for sale.

That's awesome, Nick.

Here is a pic of the logbook. Mine went missing over the years, but for a short while it was cool to get the guy behind the counter to sign in the logged hours.

Finally was able to buy the 250 pin I was missing. It came up as a BIN or best offer, and they accepted my offer so now this group of AMCRC pins is complete

Anybody else out there looking for these, I have doubles of some. PM me if interested/

... and now complete with this just found 250 pin. :good: Except I do not have a "Members" tie clip, like Nick posted in post #11,

anybody got one to trade?

Do you think pins would take off today? Or maybe patches for events? Sooner or later everyone's box gets full of sticker or plaques. Same goes for the closet of trophies. At least with patches we could have several shirts or coats. Patches may be more cost effective than trophies. A coat could be worn out in public and may get someone asking about the patches? Just asking....
