Also is the Drag Racing Memorabilla & Collectibles show (prior to the race) happening this year?
The annual Indy Memorabilia and Collectibles show was cancelled this year, not enough pre-entries.![]()
Seems like the whole Drag racing diecast era is Dead! 5-6 years ago there would be like 6 Diecast vendors, last year I don't think there was one!![]()
When I went back to Indy for the 50th US Nationals the Memorabilia & Collectables show was getting pretty thin. I've never collected diecast, but even the paper stuff I collect... like posters, old press kits, badges, patches and photos are getting harder to find.
If you are in SoCal next June check out the annual Society of Automotive Historians Literature Faire & Exchange at Irwindale Speedway, quite a large show for most motorsports stuff and all kinds of diecast too.
but would keep few like the cannon pewter car they did ( not really diecast made out of pewter, if thats how it spelled)
