you don't even have to ask, i'm super happy right now.

as my buddy ferretti once said....... i will not appologize for the size of these pics.
if your not sure who the guy is in the pic, that's jay halsey. he was gracious enough to sign my car and take some pics with it.

Fantastic, Jason - congratulations!

I tell ya what, that Halsey fella’s a pretty cool dude.

That is cool what a nice thing to do. did you meet him in person, or did you have to mail it to him?

as cool as it would've been for him to sign it in person, i had to send it to him. a trip to cali wasn't anywhere in my near future.

Well your car made the trip, is your car home from its adventures yet? Does anybody know were is the Real car is, it should be on display somewere?

Awesome!
I am so happy for you that he took these pictures, and to boot he put it in front of the '85 IFMAR World's Trophy!

Awesome Job, and Jay if you are reading this...
Thanks for doing this for scr8p, and the forum as a whole, we all enjoy it. You will always have many fans around the world!

That's cool--I didn't think about you having the pics back so quick, guess I'm just an analog guy in a digital world That's even cooler than I thought it would be!

That is Awesome!
congrats scr8p.

Jammin Jay is one of the best guys out there. I have had the privilege of talking to him a few times. He is a great person in our hobby, and for a FOG (Fat Old Guy) he is still fast!

Pic number 2 would be my new avatar if I were you. And yup.........it's a cream dream...Nice job and congrats!

ya, but.......... it's not my trophy.

i'd have to roll with my edm rc10 graphite team car and 7th place a-main trophy from the '93 dirt oval championships.
but for now, i kinda like my avatar with my '08 v-nats rc10.

Good point. I guess I'll cancel the photo shoot I set up for tomorrow with my RC10 and my 1980 T-Ball participation trophy. Seriously though, that's an awesome memento.

that 2nd pic is actually pretty cool since it's similar to the associated ad with his car and the trophy (see ruffy's avatar). just needed to roll the car to the left a bit.

That's amazing that Jay signed your car.
What was his response to the detail you put into the car?
Did he notice anything missed or done differently?
Is Jay part of the forum?
If no, do you think he might be brave enough for....... "If you Could Ask Jay Halsey..."

Awesome job Jason.

Now its off to find Masami in Japan to sign your repro of his car.

well...... that one's kind of a sore subject.

as for jay, he seemed pretty excited to sign car for me. after i shipped the car, i gave him a call to let him know it was on the way. we talk for a half hour or so. he seems like a real nice, down to earth guy.

other than letting me know he thought it was real nice, he hasn't said anything about what's right or what's wrong. the couple things i did ask him about it he really wasn't sure about himself. and really........ it has been 25 years.

i did tell him about the forum, and i'd be willing to bet ruffy has. but as of now, i don't believe he's a member.
