The IZOD IndyCar Series announced Wednesday that the Edmonton road course event scheduled for next summer has been canceled due to a conflict between the city and the race promoters about necessary track improvements. "We are disappointed that the city and the promoter were unable to reach an agreement on the venue changes,'' the IndyCar Series said in a statement. "It's unfortunate that in a time when IndyCar is experiencing momentum and growth, the city would want to miss out on the opportunity to be part of it. We've enjoyed our time at Edmonton as the fans there truly embraced Indy car racing. We currently are examining options for our schedule to see if there are opportunities to replace the event.'' The three-year old race was run on a temporary circuit set up on Edmonton's City Centre Airport. Promoters would have to spend approximately $3.2 million (Canadian) to upgrade and repave a different runway. Scott Dixon won two of the three races in Edmonton, including this year's event which gained international attention when three-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves unleashed a post-race tirade and grabbed an IndyCar Series official after being black-flagged for blocking late in the race. The removal of Edmonton leaves the series with a 15-race schedule that begins March 27 in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Hello All fellow Model Makers,
I Have been posting the builds of some of these Models in the "HOT RODS & STREET MACHINES FORUM"
However they may be more suited to this Forum considering what I have seen so far.
you guys are building some really nice models !
so I thought you might like to see some of these. they area mix of 1/24 &1/25 AMT & REVELL kits
and one or two full scratch builds like the BUGGY,
it all started when I bought the Aoshima Kit of the Mad Max Interceptor,
I decided the model needed some companions on the shelf !





69 ford gran Torino



39 chevy minus the rear end !




70 challenger,



70 Plymouth Road runner, a lot of plastic went into the roll cage and bumpers on this model !





had this Model 49 Merc sitting in a box with a lot of the parts missing for over ten years !
"thats why the engine has a Cage, I lost the Bonnet !"









this is a Revell 41 Willys Coupe, I love the Chevy Truck from JEEPERS CREEPERS and so I wanted to try something simalar with the coupe,









and Finaly this one is still a work in progress, its a 1/24 Miasto "Metal" 67 mustang
first some rough designs of what it might look like and then the build as it stands so far,











Well thats my Collection so far, however I intend to build a lot more !
once the Mustang is finished, I'm going to build my biggest yet, An armoured Big Rig.

I will keep posting more builds on this forum from now on.
