Just a note to let everyone know the IRACE charity auction to benifit the American Cancer Society will take place in October. Some of the highlights will be the Joe/Bill Roadsters, my 40 Ford Drag car, a couple of white lightnings Nuthers Willys from the contest and many many more items. If you belong to other lists and Forums please let them know, I know it would be cheaper to keep it amongst ourselfs but its for a good cause and if someone else wins it means more for the chairty.

If you want to donate.. Please send a photo of the item to me and I will add it to the webpage currently being donated by Firecoded Webdesign in Toronto ( Thanks JP!) The auatcion is not limited to slots this round, Diecast, tools, trains. rc are all welcome to join us to raise Cancer awarness.

Thanks in advance everyone.. this is going to be awesome..

Hi Wes,


Jim your mailbox is full but this is the same answer you needed. No keep them there Wes.. All I need is a photo of the itmes (Got your new one Wes.) We will run the auction, and the winner will be responsiable for sending me a Check or M/O made out to the American Cancer Society and a seperate m/o Paypal for the shipping. a bit complicated but really easy and worked great last auatcion. I then contact the person with the goods. Send then the shipping costs and the winners address and Voila instant gratification. This saves us having to ship the item twice thus saving money as well as any chance the Post office will turn it into bits of broken plastic.. Thanks again Guys you have all been so generous. I will get towork on updating the web page now so we can start deciding were to put our dollors lol.. I know I am at a loss of were to put this months slot allowance, glad I saved some of last months hahaha..

Just a little FYI.

Bobzilla coughed up with a spy pic today. OMG. He's been bustin' butt, and it shows! I'm dying to post the spy pic...but I'm gonna restrain myself! That's his nugget.

Instead I've posted a coupla shots of the updated wind screen. A little thick yet cuz I always leave extra material for the final sand and polish. I much prefer the speedster look and hope y'all do too! I built an extra one just in case something went haywire. If it's not used, I'll definately retro fit my original.

In addition the rear ride height was dropped some during the body fitment, so you'll notice a difference when Zilla posts up. The index button for the driver was also deleted for folks who prefer to go driverless.

Keep those bids comin guys!

Those are awesome Bill.. I am dying to see one of Bobzillas finshed paint schemes on these puppies...we are already so close to achieving my target amount raised that I am rushing in to check bids every chance I get while my wife trys to keep me doing actual work around the house for her..But I will say we have impressed her with our donations and bidding thus far. Beth lost her Mom to Cancer so its a near and dear charity to her so she was touched we will be donating 100% to ACS..You Guys rock you do know that from Donators to bidders HT is the best bunch ...

Only 8 made lowest bid right now is C113 I think at 30 all the rest are over 35 two at 75 already.. These are numbered limited editions done as a joint effort by Joez870. Bill Hall and Bobzilla. With Help from Neils Wheels, Sethndaddy for handpicking the chassis and Nutther I believe.. You guys done a good things I am proud to call ya buds!...


The Dash Falcons are also starting to start bidding wars..(Thanks Dan)! as are quite a few of the customs..we are so close to the goal I could toss my slot allowance and send it on by the target...you guys never fail to impress me.. Even guys (Like Myself) who tend to be stubborn haha.. have opened up thier hearts to support a good cause.. its all good...Thanks Guys.. anyone at Ihobby want to bash Tom over the head and gets us a Ihobby car would be a really nice thing HINT HINt lol....
