Hello all,

I'm Elijah, and I'm a native Hoosier who grew up around racing all my life. My dad got me into it, and now I can't shake the bug if I tried. I haven't had a lot of experience with IndyCar modeling yet, so please bear with me if I have silly questions.

My favorite era to model is the 60s and 70s. I personally didn't grow up in these eras, but I think they have the coolest history and cars, plus some nice kits available. There are a lot of limited resin kits I'd love to build, but unfortunately I missed the boat on those, and just hope to come across them at shows someday.

A fun fact about my connection to racing is that my great uncle, a Ford Executive, had all kinds of access to drivers and teams during the month of May. He was good friends with Dan Gurney, and we even have some stuff Dan gave him. 

Look forward to sharing my work and seeing what everyone else is up to!

Elijah

Hi Elijah:
Sounds neat, welcome aboard. those 2 decades were times of extreme change and experimentation in the sport. It was great being at the pulse of what was going on in the sport at that time. Still quite a bit of Gurney info, kits, plans, etc., about. Just ask around. You'll like this group, guaranteed! All the best,
Bobby C

Welcome Elijah. There probably won't be a question you'll ask that hasn't been ask here before, and every time a question is asked someone learns something.
