It’s a world record now, but it will be even bigger when we get to our 50th year with Quaker State, the longest driver/sponsor partnership in racing history.
We will have hoodies, t-shirts, hats and other souvenir items by spring of 2023.
I also wanted to have a Diecast for this milestone, and that wish is happening, thank you Lord.
I’ve been working tirelessly on the Diecast for our 50th year with Quaker State. There is a lot that had to be worked out before sending everything to Lionel Racing. Special thanks to Kirk Alexander for all his help with this project.
***************************
Here is an update:
*All high resolution logo’s have been sent to Lionel Racing
*All permission letters from sponsors on the Diecast or on the box will be sent March 19th
*The final concept drawing has been sent to Lionel Racing on the 16th of March.
I haven’t heard back yet from Lionel Racing to know if they need more information. It’s been a challenge getting sponsors locked in for 2 years, then asking for permission letters to have their logo on the car, a licensing requirement by Lionel Racing.
Once Lionel Racing is satisfied with everything we send them, they will make a 3D version of the car design posted here.
I designed the paint scheme with help from Rodney Sullins from Arkansas and Kirk Alexander of Finish Line Vinyl Design. Kirk letters my Pro Late Model and Rodney designs on line race paint schemes for members of Rolling Thunder Gaming, a group I use to race on line with in 2010-2011.
This design still needs small tweaking but is 99% ready for a 3D look.
There won’t be red centers for the wheels. The drawing program comes with red centers.
Once I approve the final design by Lionel Racing, they will require a deposit and then send it offshore to be manufactured. I hope to have them by November 2022. We need to order a minimum of 700. So far I have had 326 requests for a car. It is possible we might need to order a few more, I don’t want to be sold out before 2023 starts…..that would be great, but I would hate to have people asking for this milestone keepsake and we’re sold out.
The cars will be $100 each including tax, plus shipping. Ontario shipping will be around $30.
Maritime shipping may be free if I can meet up with buyers.
