of The Mako II Corvette in Resin

It has been a long road for this two piece mold.  Now that it is done, beautiful resin copies are being pulled from it.  I'm hoping to paint up two or three for myself and get them running on the track.


If you are interested, let me know.  Check out the Daedalian Waxworks link at the top of the page.  This might be a very limited run.

of Thanks & Good Bye ALMS

Thank you thank you thank you. ALMS came along exactly when I needed a new racing series to believe in. I have been to several ALMS races at Road America & Mid-Ohio. The "For The fans" open paddocks and starting grids at Road America are worth the price of admission. The combined ALMS/Grand-Am weekend at Road America was spectacular this year. If the USCC (Is it USCC or USCR?) continues to play nice with the ACO & the FIA's World Championship, driving the technology forward, this is going to be a great series. We are so close to a single inclusive set of rules. This is great.

Suggestions:
1 - continue to keep the big sanctioning bodies talking and playing nice.
2 - @USCC The entire schedule needs to increase the length of the races. The 2:45 format on some of these tracks is not worthy of endurance sports cars. Follow the lead of the World Endurance Championship with 6 hour minimum races.
3 - @USCC re-instate the eligibility of the LMP1 class for your crown jewels. Nothing wrong with inviting the P1 teams from across the pond, even if they win.
4 - @theFans can we stop the sniping at each other? This is a truly merged series now. ALMS & Grand-Am found a way to keep most of the classes and stay in the good graces of the ACO. Why are we fighting about 2 series that no longer exist?

God Speed - Sean

This crash.net article is unclear whether Sean Edwards was killed upon impact or if he died some point after. Either way, this is a horrific reminder of risks involved in motorsports. Rescue crews spent 3 hours trying to remove him from the fiery wreckage.
