1-24 PIT BOX DONATION
On Sat July 24 a woman donated to ASCC a relative’s wooden Pit Box. It mainly contained 1990s era “flexi” steel chassis 1-32 Whomps and 1-24 Sprints, NASCAR, and static model conversions. There were six flexi-chassis cars and one 1-25 static model conversion on a steel flexi chassis. There was small handful of tools and a track-branded apron. Along with the Pit Box were some shoe boxes with additional Lexan/vacuu-formed bodies (painted and clear), old race rules and flyers and so forth. The pit-box contained several Lexan/vacuu-formed bodies in various states as well as ten Mabuchi style motors, 1-8inch axle crown/spur gears, and a mix of used and NOS 1-24 wheel/tires (most were dry, at least half were used/dry/cracked). Some random decals and parts (brass tubing and piano wire) were in the morass.  Two PARMA resistor controllers were in the top shelf of the Pit-Box.  A box of two complete, highly-detailed 1-25 static NASCAR sedans; an AFX truck and police car; and a handful of styrene 1-32 and 1-24 static models rounded out the contents of the Pit and shoe-boxes.  Rags, random paper pieces, parts bags and tags, and other litter were mixed in with the cars et al.  Some trays from old PLANO boxes contained used hardware (screws, washers, etc.), all having some form of rust, corrosion, or oxidation.
