[SportsandRec] SportsandRec Digest, Vol 176, Issue 1

Fri Oct 8 17:05:59 UTC 2021

Howdy Bryan,

I remember you from our glory days studying Project ASSIST with Laurie
teaching, and other telephone classmates. Hope you're doing well.

Most people think of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and other diecast brands as
collectables. Nothing bad about that as collecting is all the more a
growing popularity. However, diecast racing is also becoming very
popular to the level of an official sport. Someday we might see
diecast racing tournaments on Stadium TV next to the World Poker Tour,
Mixed Martial Arts, etc. Wrapping this up, one of the first resources
I recommend is Red Line Derby Racing (www.redlinederby.com), which is
loaded with everything diecast racing from the basic fundamentals to
advanced topics. Take a gander for yourself and see what I mean.

Cheers!

Wade Hemmelrick
