AWESOME!!
As you can see by our faces, we were overwhelmed at all the cool stuff from this show. Hangin’ with buddies, SuperDesigner Carson Lev and the Chipmeister himself, Chip Foose, the 2010 Diecast SuperConvention was a fantastic show.
Big thanks to the Diecast Space Crew for putting on a spectacular event. CJ, Cullen, Crazy Frank, Jeff Glasson, Joe Kelly and his wife Casey and many more hardcore diecast doods and doodetts spent a great deal of time making sure everything was just right.
Looking forward to more shows just like it!!
Last night was the Diecast Space Hall of Fame induction ceremony. A fantastic awards show celebrating those who have done great work in the car world as Designers, Customizers and Historians.
Although it was just my time to watch and have a great time with buddies like Chip Foose, Carson Lev and Larry Woods, the show celebrated Diecast giants like Jeff Glasson from Saturday Nitro, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, Dale Earnhardt Sr, Tom “Mongoose” McEwen, Miq Willmott and many others. Congratulations to all of them for keeping the sport of diecast cars alive and well.
It was really something to be a part of, with great legends of Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning and many other cool brands. And big thanks to host Joe Kelly for doing such a fantastic job!
Wow, what insanity! You think people are crazy about their cars… Well, when it comes to diecast cars, they’re outta control!
We met a slew of cool people, including 12- year old Zac who did a cool drawing for me. Great vendors like CUSTOM CREW with their bitchin’ “Sledster,” and a whole host or custom diecast builders, designers (like Luis Tanahara and Michael Zarnock) and even Car Room Magazine. Even Jeff Glasson from Saturday Nitro scoured the floor takin’ pix.
Lots of companies premiered their lines, including Alien Projects “Dreamliner.” Some awesome stuff.
Big thanks to everyone at Diecast Space for havin’ me out… And check out the pix, por favor.
Ok. It’s a long drive to Vegas, so ya need some chow. Tim’s got the goods. See…
And keep your driving safe, or… you’ll TIP OVER AND GET CRUNCHED!
Oh… And steer clear of NUCLEAR POWERED TRUCKS!
Just a few tips on the way to Vegas. Tomorrow, the show BEGINS!
Headin’ up the 405 freeway yesterday, I came across this Custom Pontiac in the middle of gettin’ some serious mods. Didn’t stick around long enough to see the final adjustments, but I’m sure it will end up at the 2010 Junkyard Show on Pomona.
Here it is folks! The week we’ve been waiting for. I leave Wednesday for the world’s greatest Diecast Expo. The 2010 Diecast SuperConvention put on by DiecastSpace.
It will be full of hot cars, hot deals and I’ll be there with such excitement that I’ll most likely fall off my chair! (I’ll need some help then, if you don’t mind…) But what a great show this is going to be! (Unless… I can’t get up. Whatever.)
Besides it being in Vegas, baby, there will be shows, races and all kinds of fun for everyone. Bring your kids, bring your mother-in-law! Okay, maybe not your mother-in-law, but maybe just her wallet…:-0 Oh! Snap!
I hope to see you there, …and make sure to come by my booth for a chance to get a FREE DIECAST and do some full on Timed Races on my new Track System! I’ll be premiered it there for the first time and then it will be available online smack after. It’s the coolest Diecast Track System on the Planet!
But for now… it’s a secret… GET TO VEGAS BEFORE THE WORLD IMPLODES!!
Just some wee “sneeks” of what’s coming from Hollywood. There’s a lot more than this! You want it?? Let me here you say, BRING IT!

I like the letter “D.” Maybe it’s because it reminds me of math class? Or the conversation I had with my counselor about the fact that if I don’t stop showing up at high school football games with a liter or gin hidden in my coat, I’ll end up getting “all D.”
But hey. There are good D’s, too. Jokes about Dingleberries. Dumbasses who think they know about cars. Cities like Denver, Dookervortski and Dunjab. Even foods like Double Vanilla Latte… Dang.
And then… there’s cars. Our cars. Cool Car. Damn cool cars. Behold… The D’s.
Serious coolness.
