Brad Doty Sprintcar

Well I've finally finished another model...WOOHOO!!!!

It's the Brad Doty Sprintcar kit from 1987 (I think), which I won (with a couple of other sprintcars on Evil Bay) built basicaly out of the box.

that's one cool sprintcar,

Thanks guys

Very wild! Is the silver finish painted on or is it foil?

It's silver paint.....................export rattle can silver

Nice job, the silver looks good

Nice job, i have seen plenty built but never one as per the box art. Are these the kit decals? Great job....

Thanks guys
Yeh mate, there the kit decals

These kits are cool when done right and yours looks great!

Thanks mate
Yes they are. Got another 2 kits from evil bay to build yet.....(well still waiting for one to arrive from the States) 1 is started, just got to back to it.

great builds have inspired me to build some of the ones that I have tucked away for that rainy day.

Thanks mate

Have just bid on a couple more

looking good mate looking good for an out of box build you nailed it

Thanks mate
The decals were in really good condition for a 23yr old kit.....might of had something to do with the kit still being sealed from new.

Not my cup of tea, but great work.

Thanks mate

Yeh, it probably is a little different to the norm. Have been a speedway nut ever since I can remember.....even raced Formula 500's for 10 years.

formula 500's there the small sprint cars arent they

There the one's

This is my last car......





...........90% of which I built myself.

tripod ? it seems to have 4 wheels !

Yeh......that came about after loosing a wheel 3 meetings in a row . The 1st one sent me hard into the wall in Morenbah,completely destroying the front of the car, the 2nd , was a week later (in a borrowed car) in Gladstone, (car not wrecked), and the 3rd was at the Mackay Showgrounds in my 1st meeting back in my repaired car. Ripped the center out of the center of the left rear, didn't wreck the car. Came up with "TRIPOD Racing.....2 wheels, less drag", and never lost another wheel

What motor? I see HRC stickers and a spannie and its Formula 500 so i'm guessing Honda CR500?

Yeh mate, it was an '86 model CR500 on Methanol

Because a stock CR wasn't scary enough??!
No wonder it kept breaking wheels.
