Wilkerson collectible

[DrRocket]

I was sorting through my hobby room tonight, and stumbled across this little gem. I'd forgotten I had it. Cool, eh what??

I'll need to get to Brainerd in '09 to get Tim to sign them for me.

And.......


Here's a nice piece from a couple of years ago about Tim's relationship with LRS.

David, that looks like the 1/64th version, is that correct, I have it and the 1/24th, those were some fun time with that car. Lot of learning stories!! And the article couple years ago probly stll descibes Tim and LRS's relatonship today.

Yep, 1/64th it is. Still in decent shape too, though the card's showing some signs of age.

Do you buy, sell, trade collectibles?

I need the two JCIT cars in 1/24 then my Wilk set is complete but damn, are those hard to come by.

When i first saw this thread the other day I started thinking about the Wilkerson collectibles that I have. I have his red, white & blue 2003 US Nationals diecast and I also have a T shirt from the late 90s.

I don't remember the exact year that it's from, or if this particular design was ever sold to the public because it was given to me by Cory Christensen, a member of Tim's team back then. (Cory and his brother Kevin are with Sioux City Kenworth, now called Sioux City Truck and Trailer, and are now working with the Pedregon brothers I believe) If I had to guess, Id say the shirt is from 1999. I had to dig deep to find it but I knew it was buried in one of my drawers. It's never been worn either!

No, I don't. To be quite honest with you, I can't remember how or why I came by this one. (Old age sucks.) Like I said, I was organizing my hobby room when I stumbled across it. It's now proudly on display by my computer at work.

By the way...

VERY cool shirt, Brian.

And you're right, it looks mint!! It looks like it even has the original fold marks in it.

My problem is I tend to "love" my shirts to death. Man, I wish I'd been easier on my Kenny Berstein 300mph shirt......
