A day of links

Almost feels like spring in VT.......
That usually means we have at least one more big storm left.

OK, I'm taking a beating from all you Honda guys. Yeah-yeah
the boys in red didn't fare so well on the first outing. But the
Doctor had some encouraging words:

Hey, Stoner is fast and the Honda is a great package. No disputes there.
My prediction is Rossi will put the DUC in victory lane this year.
Lofty I know....

A while back I posted this one but it's worth a re-list.

Daytona 200


Did anybody catch the finish? Well, Ducati (woo-hoo)
stole the show and the win. But not without some
crazy crashes, several red flags, and even a new engine
install mid-race for the winner. Click the image for full story.

More tasty nuggets of info.....


I have had tons of requests and we finally have the listing.
2010 Audi R15 LeMans winner in 1:18 by Spark. I saw this
one at Toy Fair in Germany and it looked incredible. Coming
fairly soon is the word we're getting. Get those pre-orders in
if you want one from the first shipment.



We missed out on a few of the Mattel 1:43 Grand Prix
releases for some unknown reason. Little by little I've
been hunting them down through my contacts in the
die cast mafia. We received 20 pieces, and that's it.
1991 F1-91 Jean Alesi Monaco GP


We've been waiting patiently for this one.
1967 Honker Can-Am Mario Andretti
1:43 by Spark
No explanation needed.
Back soon.

little nugget:
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=1_kwxzU4wL4&vq=medium

Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages
out of storage, flew them around the world, and filmed them
running through the streets of Rome , Rio , New York , Hong Kong,
Honolulu , and Monaco .

Turn it up and enjoy the music......

World Superbike round 1

Anybody catch the opening round of WSB?

While the mighty Aprilia and BMW's were "supposed"
to be the bikes to beat, my main man Carlos Checa
wins both races on the "outdated" Ducati 1098R.
Outdated my a$$!! The 38 year old set a track
record in qualifying and then stormed to victory in both
races. Woo-hoo Ducati! Now if Rossi can just pull off
a victory in the opening round of MGP?
Yeah right...long shot I know.
