Your diecast Christmas list
With Christmas only a few weeks away...
If you could ask Santa for only one diecast-related item, what would it be?
Racing or otherwise...could something old, new...cars, tracks, whatever...it just has to exist and be a real thing.

I'd love an electronic starting line and finish line. I don't care what brand so long as it works reliably. It's been my unicorn since I started racing.
A 1/64th 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air, ice blue with flames. Just kidding on the colors and such, any 56 chev bel-air would be perfect, been looking for the last couple years and still as of yet have never found the 56.

So last year I posted this question and myself was still looking for a reliable finish line...which I now have. Didn't get it for Christmas, but I guess this year I need to ask for something else...hmmmm...
As far as something directly diecast...another long roll of orange track would be great and let me complete the 4-lane shelf track at my house. I'm not sure how 4-lanes would help tournaments or anything but it would feel right :)
And even though I love my 3DBotMaker finish line, I would love it if Santa could figure out how to hook it up to a Raspberry Pi or something with wifi so I could automate some results. That would be pretty sweet.
A shipping container ( more or less...probably less..much less) Full of a workable casting of unrivited Raceing Champion 1965 Plymouth Barracuda's ( but in a much more realistic true casting. With a large assortment of real riders I can work with to customize a million ways.
It is favorite 1:1 car of all times.
Yes Please!
THANKS!
A vintage Hot Wheels Big Belter and Match Maker...
And some one that enjoys running these little dudes down a couple of pieces of Orange track.....
Hey ya never know.....
- sounds reasonable! they're out there! — CrzyTrkrDude
- had a couple big belters, very cool inside, little wire keeps racer from redlighting. — fordman
As far as racing diecast I think I'm good. But, I've recently put more effort into acquiring more custom pieces from the late "Chojiro" from "Hells Dept". My wife got me one of his carded pieces for Christmas a few years back, along with a few of his white metal kits that I still haven't completed, and they don't pop up very often.
- I've never heard of them, please, tell us more about them. — CrzyTrkrDude
- You can find out more in my new posting under "collecting & oraganizing". — delta6
Well... Santa brought me my Danger Changer last year...Still need to sort out a better orange track to DT connector.
This year, I too am ok...having fun sending out stuff to other racers.
I might be able to figure something out for the DT to Orange track connectors. Smitty's work pretty well (though, your yellow bug doesn't like them very much!).
Maybe after these races are done, I can make a connector that funnels one to the other a little better
Ummm...a football....no, no, wait, A Red Rider BeeBee Gun...no, that's not die cast! Well, it would be cool to find a nice set of the original red-lines. But, I'm not much of a collector anymore!
