I decided to do a little something different for the April Banner, Randy's Corvette was different last month and this month MOTORCYCLES, not just Motorcycles but Vintage Side Car Motorcycle racing ! Enjoy it while I come up with something for May...Hmmmmmm maybe Indy related? Chris
Ps. this one is dedicated to our Friend Paul....

I love this banner photo with Dan Gurney, Joe Leonard, and I have to assume Art Pollard since it is the #40 STP Turbine car.

  It was a complex build with the hardest part to grasp is the bottom half the engine heads backwards and the top half forwards. Offy's dont have separate heads and the intake/exhaust can be set up on either side depending on application.  18 or so months to build, maybe 10 photos of the actual car, the most info I got was from Mrs. Pollard who knew a bunch about it. The best model I ever built.....so far! Chris |

That's some build, Chris!
What is the scale and who's the manufacturer?

Hi Chris,
I just wanted to say that's the best idea that you have come up with! Show casing the modelers cars that they have built on the board banner. I don't know if you'll ever use pictures of real cars again, but I think it's great to show case the talent of the many modelers we have. Thank you for that idea!
Jim
