Over the thirty-some years I knew Goose we first collected, and then raced slot cars together. During those years I knew he had collected quite a few slot cars. In the early years of our friendship he collected mostly 1/32 and 1/24 cars, where I was collecting HO slot cars. We would do some trading and many times he would purchase the larger scale cars I found. I never thought much about the cars he had as I was mostly just interested in the cars I had. He never displayed his collection until just the last few years, and then his displayed collection consisted of mostly newer 1/32 cars. Sometimes I wondered where and what he had that was not out to see. Everyone knew he had a lot of cars, but upon acquiring his collection I am totally amazed every time I pull out another box to sort through. So in Goose's honor I have decided to post up some photos of his fantastic collection for all to see. A collection this great deserves to be seen! So for your viewing pleasure, here is The Goose Collection part 1:

Top photo: Added to the bunch is John Gill, fourth from the left, just to the left of "Gearloose". Bottom: A section of the track newly painted and braided.

A little coaching for the new guy Josh from Resident Fast Guy Zack...

Here's some videos of the wild BRM Group C action last night. There's nothing like racing 1/24 Group C cars on a short tight track!

Thanks Zack. I am now finally at a point where I can start going through all the stuff I had to stash upstairs.

All the Strombecker, Eldon, Gilbert, and A/FX track is GONE!

Thanks to Bob Nakamura I did not have to take it all to the dump!
