For my birthday I ordered two models.
Bobby Allen's 1a. His wheel stand at Rolling Wheels instilled my love in Sprint Cars.

Happy Birthday Billy. I've got the Bobby Allen shark car and it's a neat car. Don't have that A.J. Foyt car though. Think this is the first time I've seen it. You can't top A.J. as a driver. I'll be 65 in July and I was lucky enough to see A.J. drive everything including offroad. The only driver I can think of that's come close is Tony Stewart. GMP and Action has changed some but they are still the best diecasts made. I have an A.J. autographed pewter sprinter and a black chrome sprinter and an autographed pix of him. Wouldn't take anything for them. Got them at the Hall of Fame museum auction. Have fun collecting and have a happy one.

Thanks! The last four years I have given my father the four Indy winners. Stewart does come close, but you cannot forget Mario. He only won Indy once, but he did win Daytona, an F1 Silver Crown championship. He really missed the Le Mans victory though. It was a though call for me to decide between the Foyt and an Amoretti car. The one other name I would throw out would be Mark Donohue. I was only lucky enough to see to Indy-car races and they were at Trenton, NJ, but I will never forget them. They were the first "professional" races I saw. The first was the year that Bobby Unser had the Viceroy car with the canard wings. I would like to find a model of one of those.
