Say, it ain't so 21C, but I'm afraid it is. My source is straight from a Senior NASCAR VP at a meeting last night on the new track they want on Staten Island. He saw my Ultimate Soldier pin on my hat and started to talk. He showed me pics he had in his case, of the 1/18 cars. NASCAR is buying 21C. All production of planes, tanks and anything military will end this week.
1/18 and 1/32 prodution is being switched entirely to NASCAR car models to be sold exclusively at NASCAR tracks around the country. They have big plans for 1/6 NASCAR RC cars also.
No more Wallyworld poor distribution problems but no more planes or tanks.
And one more thing to add into the bad news....Happy April Foods Day.

No joke, except to the people of Staten Island, NASCAR is trying to build a track on Staten Island. So far they have spent 100 (one hundred) MILLION dollars to buy a piece of land here. Who knows how many additional millions on lobists and marketing efforts here trying to convince 450,000 residents here that the addition of 80,000 race fans won't bother us on three or four race weekends a year.
Staten Island is an island served by four bridges, three of the four are antique narrow four lane bridges. We have a major ferry to Manhattan but no public transportation connection to where the track will be. They promise us only 8,000 cars and 500 buses will be allowed at the track and some small ferry lines, which does not exist at this time, will carry more thousands of fans.
The track will be a nightmare for us. And on the race weekends where rain delays push races to a regular Monday workday where traffic is already a nightmare.......wow, the mind boggles.
I am not against NASCAR, my kids are nuts about it, what I am against is the horrendous traffic situation that will gridlock the entire Island without massive public transportaion upgrades which the City can't afford and NASCAR says is up to the City. They are pointing fingers at each other and the track isn't even approved yet for construction.
NASCAR isn't stupid and the money they already have spent would never have been spent without a "done deal" expectation. We shall see, but I wouldn't go online for season tickets YET......by the way, season tickets holders are the only ones who will go to races, no day race tickets will be sold.......They say.
I guess NASCAR believes we all just fell off a turnip truck

April Fools !
