Good to see that great track getting pressed into real service!

Okay I have heard about some guys doing that foil thing years back, but I have never seen it done... I think this is the best thing - a perfect fit for those AMT full size bombers barreling around.

The foil looks a little thicker than the stuff we have in the kitchen drawer at home - it has a plausible crumple look, very scale... This has to be a ton of fun to race. Wow it would be perfect for the Figure 8s.

I guess you just burnish up the panels and stick them to your special cutaway body, and you have fresh bodywork again. So it's 'crawling from the wreckage, and into a brand new car...'

Looks like a lot of fun and laughs.

Best off though is you have a thriving race program running on the Freeport Speedway!

Like Chappy, I always wondered about doing that, but I never got to the stage where I looked for the foil. What is the thickness? Do you plan to do one that is painted? Maybe some 2000 grit foam-backed sanding disks cut up to face the guardrail with for paint scarring? I'm still thinking about how to make tire marks on it...

You lit a fire with this one!

Just the signage alone is a blast from the past. Tuesday night was Bomber night. Everybody would get into the main, and so many cars would show up that they would have two of them.
