Randy,

You originally designed this Lola. With your permission I copied it and then unknowingly to you have started a FIRST TIME EVER Jasper Powered travel thread...Enjoy!

I was completely SHOCKED when the stewardes of the plane made me pull the plug on the powered up Lola..."please sir you must turn off ALL electrical devices". lol

Wes had made me a Hooters Hummer slot car that came in handy...more pics soon!

Bob...Where will Lola go next...zilla

How freakin funny! When is the tour coming to Texas?

Rich....we have a Hooters here.....come to TX Zilla.

Jasper Lola is now on the Menu...

She thinks my Hummer is sexy! Wes I wish you would have been here with us when this picture was taken. Our waitress LOVED this slot Hummer...

Bob...Viva Las Vegas Baby!...zilla

Bob,
GREAT thread. I love the idea of the traveling LOLA:thumbsup::thumbsup:. Washington state :wave: is awful nice in the summer(well sometimes it is).

(well sometimes it is).

Just wait ten minutes... it'll change.

Rich,

I will send you a PM on this...Texas, Jasper Lola & Hooters = Lots of fun!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aacaas2.jpg

Yankee was nice enough to let us pull up in his driveway while we were in Las Vegas. He has an incredible track layout! Good fun was had by all...Thanks Yankee for letting Fletcher & I run some laps.

Look for the Jasper Lola tour in a neighborhood near you. Goodbye untill next time...Boo-hahahahahaaahahaa you just never know?

Bob...Do you know where your Lola has been...zilla

Bob,
GREAT thread. I love the idea of the traveling LOLA:thumbsup::thumbsup:. Washington state :wave: is awful nice in the summer(well sometimes it is).

Jerry & Bill,

Looking forwards to getting to Washington this summer and hooking up with you both along with Bruce Gavins & other slot geeks.

Just wait ten minutes... it'll change.

LOL...That is what we say here in Nebraska also but, it only takes five minutes...

:wave:

Bob...My bags are packed...zilla

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aacaas1.jpg

Bob when did you take pic on the hood of wifes' PT Cruiser :confused:

OH WAIT.....that's not hers....no ding on the hood where I hit the deer.:freak::jest::tongue:

Bob when did you take pic on the hood of wifes' PT Cruiser :confused:

OH WAIT.....that's not hers....no ding on the hood where I hit the deer.:freak::jest::tongue:

Did you say sorry deer (dear)?:lol:

Hey Hilltop,

Do you think you could give us a tour of Tennessee with your Lola Via pics by you? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! :)

Bob...we have only just begun...zilla

I can see it now. Jasper Lola visits Patton Armor Museum. Jasper Lola visits Painters Alley. Jasper Lola visits Grand Ole Opry and the ghosts of Opryland. Jasper Lola visits Lookout Mountain. Jasper Lola visits Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. Jasper Lola eats at a Cracker Barrel resturant. Jasper Lola gets biscuits and gravy for breakfast at Bob Evans. (Hutts LOVE Bob Evans' biscuits and gravy!!!)

Hutt has to get on a plane to a city with a Bob Evans. Will be back after biscuits and gravy fix. :drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:

And that's not all!!!! A nice shot with the Judas P. Priest dam as a background would be interesting... You got another thing coming if you think that's all.. :lol: Nashville has a lovely 2 story Hooters.. And the Wildhorse Saloon... And a correction for Russ.. you were so close!! I believe it's Printers Alley you are referring to. Unfortunately, I didn't find that little treasure until my last trip to Music City.. Also, the Hermitage, Grand ol Opry, and a bar I never got to see, Bluebirds.. tavern to the stars.. It is the gathering place of some of Nashville's finest...:thumbsup:

Printer's alley it is, SCMan! TM and I spent a three day weekend in Nashville when we lived in Loovul. This was way back in the day. We ate at a resturant in Printer's Alley but I don't remember the name of the place.

There used to be 3 bars within walking distance of the TA truck stop in Nashville. There was a biker bar that got shut down thanks to the Meth Lab they had in the kitchen.:lol:, a sports bar called Daves if I call correctly in the hotel next door, and the Trap on the other side of James Robertson Pkwy that became "private" catering mostly to club rentals. My final trip there had me sitting in my truck on a Sunday night and all 3 bars were closed. So I did something kinda crazy... I went for a walk.. Across the bridge into downtown, a left here.. a left there.. and I just sort of stumbled into it. The hardest part was deciding which club to go to. For those who have never seen it, Printers Alley is a 1 block single lane closed street that is basically nothing but bars. You just sort of pick your mood or music style and follow the signs.. I only wish I found it years earlier.. I had a blast there!!!

Fun thread, thanks for sharing the Lola's experience with us. That little red car sure does get around. You could have taken Kastleburg Raceway home with you. What's one extra carry-on going to cost you?

Did you say sorry deer (dear)?:lol:

Hey Hilltop,

Do you think you could give us a tour of Tennessee with your Lola Via pics by you? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! :)

Bob...we have only just begun...zilla

Here's a favorite spot I like to visit!!! Just by measuring the contents, I think I've been here many times...RM
P.S. Please don't drink and drive!!!

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/003-1.jpg

I love your imagination.

RM,

Aaaaaaah dependable Old # 7 rest stop for Jasper #8. I also have been down this road a few times. Not to drown my sorrows though. :)

Bob...Don't drink when your mad...zilla

I made it to the track, time to mix it up with cars of my own vintage!





Just one pesky barrier in the way, the fence.

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_121.JPG




I know I've got what it takes to keep up with these guys.

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_068.JPG





But this is a little larger challenge than I expected. Going wheel-to-wheel with some of these cars is gonna be tough!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_100.JPG





Maybe we're not in the same class.....

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_096.JPG






Maybe I'll learn my way around. My buddy here gets the VIP treatment, touring laps! Look Mom, NO SLOT!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_141.JPG




This is sweet, but he only hit a hundred! I can go quicker than that!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_147.JPG




A lot going on! An update tomorrow!

You go, SP! Jasper Lola OWNS Road Atlanta!!!

You lucky dude!!! Road Atlanta, and a fun pictorial with the traveling Lola?? :lol:

Wow!

What a great story. Thanx Bob and Split!

Holy snikes! Nice! Love the pic of the Rothman's Porsche! And the pics from the course were awesome! SWEET!!

PD2:thumbsup:

You are one lucky Jasper Lola tot'en dude! Must have been a thrill to run the course. The saga continues...What's next??? Thanks for sharing!:)

I need to get in with a faster crowd.

Hey, this looks like the place for me!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_094.JPG

Wait a minute.......

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_095.JPG

VA Beach? I know there are some great LOOKING cars that come from there, but I don't know if they'll run as fast as the pictures. And what's with ACME?




Wow, this looks promising. An open car, just like me!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/P5030215.JPG


Rats, looks like this one is needs some work though. Wonder if the armature is bad, or maybe the pickups just need cleaning? And we looked so good together.

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_087.JPG




Here we go, these guys are good!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_184.JPG





And this car has a pedigree to match!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_182.JPG


This way I always come in first by a nose !!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/Mitty_2009_May_1_2_185.JPG


Great weekend, Jasper Lola winds up out in front! :wave:

Splitposter,

Heavens to Mercatroit....dang those are some nice in car on track pictures and pics of some fancy race cars. Yep glad you got the next in line for the traveling Lola...Way Kool pics!

Can tell you are having the time of your life. I need to go to that race next year as that looks like lots of fun.

Hey did you show the Lola to any of the crew members or race drivers?

Bob...Lola you are looking good...zilla

OH MAN! Is that a Silky Cut Jag?!? GEEZ! That Lola gets all the luck - ladies and cars! Nice pics! Thanks for sharing!

PD2:thumbsup:

I would have to say you and Lola are having a grand time at Atlanta!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

P.S. I'm always happy to see Acme getting some good advertising!!! Thanks, SP!!! :)

OH MAN! Is that a Silky Cut Jag?!? GEEZ! That Lola gets all the luck - ladies and cars! Nice pics! Thanks for sharing!

PD2:thumbsup:

Group 44 Jaguar -- Looks like an XJR-7. I remember them always running out front at the Daytona 24 and then blowing up about mid-race and not finishing.

Cool pics. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

The Jaguar Jasper is hanging with is a Group 44 XJR-7 IMSA car. Bob Tullius ran Jaguars in IMSA until the Tom Walkinsaw Racing team came over from the UK in 1988 to take over Jaguars IMSA program. TWR had been running in Group C since 1985.

http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu323/SlotCarHutt/Group44Jag.jpg

TWR ran the Silk Cut sponsored cars in Europe and Castrol and Bud Light sponsored cars in IMSA.

http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu323/SlotCarHutt/SilkCutJag.jpg

Tomy made both the Group 44 XJR-7 and the TWR XJR-9 Jaguars. They produced both the Castrol and the Silk Cut versions of the XJR-9.

Bob gave Chip Robinson his break in IMSA racing. But Chip bailed on Group 44 to drive for the Lowenbrau Porsche 962 team in 1987. He replaced Al Hobert who retired from racing to run Porsche's American racing program. Chip then went to the NTPI Nissan team to partner with Geoff Brabham in 1989. Ironicly, John Morton in the Group 44 Jag passed Chip in his Lowenbrau Porsche on the last lap in turn 9 at Riverside in 1987. This was a grande heuvoes type of move on John's part! That as the last race I saw at Riveside before it was rendered into a shopping mall/office complex. RIP Riverside International Raceway.

Hutt be down with history. :drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:

GREAT STUFF !!!

Wonder where the Lola will end up next. This is a great thread.

She sure has been getting around! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

The race was the Walter Mitty Challenge, put on by HSR ( www.hsr.com) and classic motorsports magazine. The featured marque was Jaguar, Group 44 was the reunion group, and Bob Tullius was the Grand Marshall. Everyone there got the opportunity to meet him and get an autograph on a poster, print, shop manual, shirt..... Tony Adamowicz was there (check out a2zracer.com ) and autographed too, as did several other Group 44 drivers and the chief mechanic, Lanky Foshee. . Group 44 goes way back with the British Motor industry and stayed with it - right up until it collapsed, according to Mr. Tullius when he was interviewed.

The Jasper Lola really enjoyed regaling in his British/American heritage, check out www.lolacars.com and www.lolaheritage.co.uk

This being a SCCA championship-winning TR 6.



Note the trademark mirror-image 44 on the rear of the V-12 XKE.

Cool stuff! The Jasper Lola was in good company!



Yes, Bob, I did show the Jasper Lola to the folks around the cars, but it took longer to explain why I was doing what I was than it did to just take the darn pictures! When they got it, they loved the idea!

That Lola is getting some mileage!!! My No.8 hasn't even been out of the county, much less the state!!! Great pics!!! RM

OHHH man i totally missed this thread!!! I see one hooter's hummer i made for him!! I totally forgot about that one. awesome thread bob!!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

RM,

T-jetjim is going to Monaco GP....he needs a traveling Lola...Hmmmmmmmmmmmm:rolleyes:

But Dad it would be fun and all the other Lolas will be there..hahahahaha

Bob...Nice JagS...zilla

Thanks for the correction and history on the Jag, Resignmonger. It's been so long since I was around a Silky I totally forgot which Jag I was seeing in the pics. We used to run Group 44's at the 1/32 shop after Slot.it came out with them and of course the FLY's. The Silky's always dominated!

Cool race and info Splitposter! Sounds like you and the Lola had an awesome time and great exposure! Had any of them raced slot cars? I wonder how many racers that have or are currently racing have raced slot cars when they were young of even currently race them while they race the 1:1?

Thanks for sharing the pics!

The Hutt is more than a little OCD and racing history is an area where the obsessive behavior gets focused. A Hutt has to play to his strengths...:freak:

Bob "silly-zilla"

Fun thread... great pics.... you are one silly dude... I like that about you!

Way cooler than traveling w/ an gnome!

Hey bumpercar88 dont you mean cooler than a hutt. lol fcb

I happened to walk by the kid's room this evening and spotted something on their TV I didn't think was even feasible!! I ran and got the camera, and got one pic in just before Gary slimed the decals off the hood.. I sure hope the armature is salt water resistant!!! :lol:


http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/slotcarman12078/c466f2a9.jpg

Apparently, arrangements were made in a Vegas back room with the "Other Bob".....

Bob "silly-zilla"

Fun thread... great pics.... you are one silly dude... I like that about you!

Thanks Jimmy,

I guess this comes from keeping all the good Fortune Cookies Fortunes & tossing the ones that suck away, almost never watching T.V. News (I don't want to know) and posting and chatting with all the always fun Hobby Talkers here in lah lah land.

Uther Joe that "Uther Bob" toon has me RALMAO...HAAHHAHHAHAH

You all now have me thinking of a Pizza "Hut" delvery slot car with a gnome driver beeing raced by a real 1/1 race car driver, head to head, with Danica Patrick controling the Hooters Hummer built by Wes....ta daaaaaaaaaaaah

:roll::woohoo:

Bob...Have about 20 good ones tapped to my toolbox at work...zilla

Oh man, what a bridge on this track! Okay, it's not a door track, or even a basement layout.




http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/P5130277.JPG

Pretty amazing nonetheless! Ol' J'Lo does national landmarks.


Only problem I have, in some spots around here I have problems reading the signs. They tell me that I should feel right at home in Chinatown, except for the part of me that came from Singapore!

OH NO, I can read this sign!!!! Trying to infiltrate enemy HQ, and they take me right to the front door! It's the California slot car patrol!!!!!!! And I'm public hazard number one! Stop looking stupid dude, run! And don't drop me!

Looking for some sypathetic soul to hide me from the slot police.... Need a safe hideout way out of town. What's this? Could it be? Mario, are you here?

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/P5150372.JPG


Can't find him, but he'll be around sooner or later. I think I'll be comfortable waiting right here! And what's with this vino stuff? The color and clarity is right for me, but it doesn't smell like high octane. I've had some exotic fuel in my day, but this deal is a new one on me!

Hic...up*which way do we go again? clockwise or counter clockwise?* hic, hic, hic...oh dang hic, hic, hic :freak:

For my 50th, my TM got me a trip to the Grand Prix at Monaco. I tried to get Zilla's traveling Jasper but it was on another journey. I had to quickly put one together (#50 for my B-day). I was out of Jasper decals so Zilla was kind enough to send some.

I knew Bob Zilla was with us in spirit with I saw his picture on the SKY magazine on our plane.

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o308/T-jetjim/Monaco/IMG_2516.jpg

The Cannes film festival was the week prior and Jasper got to meet the star from Transformers 2.

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o308/T-jetjim/Monaco/IMG_2523.jpg

In Nice, Jasper got to test drive a Ferrari 599

Jasper checks out our seats.

Off we went to the Prince of Monaco's car museum. He has over 100 cars, a lot of them became Aurora's models. Here is Jasper with some of the racing cars:
