Press release:
 
Crapco Slot Products, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ilene Dover Industries, is proud and excited to announce the launch of our line of Slot Car racing products. Introducing, 'Pin Me,' the ultimate body pin for scale racing! These tungsten pins are the heaviest in the industry ranging from the miniature .5 gram "Twiggy" to the massive 2 gram "Mama Cass" pin. Just think of it, no more underweight Stock Car bodies!" Ony $39.99 for a four-pack, available through most (okay, some) distributors or from the trunks of Crapco racers in the parking lot during any race.
 
If it isn't Crapco, It's just crap!

I've been testing early prototypes of these for a few months now. Excellent, just as advertised,

 

They do make your race box heavier. Suggest you pack no more than two sets per race.

 

Have also found them to be great for doing the morning bicep curls in the Holiday Inn Express.

 

Finally, a slot car product we can believe in, without reservation!

I hope that the next project in line is a Crapco Crane. I would hate to aggravate an old back injury plugging Mama Cass into my chassis!

And don't forget those Crapco balenced pinions. not only lighter, they spin up faster than the armature.

After all these years of knowing Gil, it is so good to see he is still turning out these fantastic pieces of humor.
