AutoFest Auction #2

This auction starts once posted and will run until Sunday, August 12th 9:00 P.M. EST on the HobbyTalk JL thread. Up for bids is the actual, one of two 2007 AutoFest Pink Slip Racer gravity racing car. Since this year’s PSR prize has real rubber tires, two Daytonas were placed in service with racer’s hard wheels to perform the weekend services of running the actual heat racing. There is only two cars made, a green version and an orange version. Winner gets choice of car color or if winner is coming to AutoFest, may have choice of car after the show so each car has actual track time on them making it all the more special. This is the ONLY gravity racer that will be offered up to the public and each car comes with a special PSR box designating it as such.



Good luck on your bids and as always, many thanks for your support.

Didn't have the luxury this year of having extra product to waste so two test clones were run to make sure the pad looked right before the final orange castings were used. That is why two rubber tire cars are "blue" in the picture. After those passed the test the production run was done including the two gravity racers. It makes the two blue cars special too but all other cars are identical orange and the total run is under 100.

For anybody who has witnessed the sheer size, quality and historical importance of the PSR program, these are two really special cars.
