Back from Indy
Back from an eventful long weekend at Indy. Saw a lot of friends at the annual Memorabilia Show and at the Speedway.
Lots of great comments on our display of 1/18 models by Tecnomodel at the Show.
Race day, we waited until 2pm to leave our hotel, drove right in and got to our seats in time for the driver introductions. Newgarden made his last lap pass right in front of us in Turn 3. Felt for Pato. He’ll drink the milk some day. Got back to our car around 9pm. Took about 2 hours to get back to the hotel. The huge crowd and darkness made traffic a bit more difficult than usual. The ‘second front’ arrived around 10:30 with hail, lightning and heavy rain.
Cudos to Doug Boles. The people he consulted nailed the timing of the two storms and saved the day.
Still getting unpacked from the Show. Also dealing with two separate shipments from Spark Model and preparing for a shipment of Tecnomodel, TopSpeed and TSM due to land later this week.
We’ll update you when (if?) things return to normal.
1/18 McLaren CanAm from Tecnomodel
Highlight of today’s 1/18 and 1/43 Announcements from Tecnomodel are the 1/18 McLaren M8Bs of Bruce McLaren and Denis Hulme, undefeated in the 1969 Can Am Championship. There will also be a third works M8B as driven by Dan Gurney at Michigan International Speedway.
The trio lapped the field and finished 1-2-3 that day.
The 1970 McLaren M8D will also be modeled in 1/18 scale, featuring drivers Dan Gurney, Denis Hulme and Peter Gethin after the tragic death of Bruce McLaren at Goodwood shortly before the season opener.
Also on the 1/18 agenda; a set of Ferrari 206 Dino SP prototypes and Ferrari F40 LMs.
In 1/43, Tecnomodel is offering a set of Ferrari F40 LMs along with Ferrari 250 GT Sperimentale racers and the Honda RA273s of Surtees and Ginther.
Check everything out HERE or in the 2024 New Model Announcements Section.
