Discussion
Cool idea, Stroller...or maybe, it's a "Hot" idea...good stuff!
Count me in...I've been wondering what to do with the fire trucks I have around!
I'll host as well...whenever the cars are on the East coast, pencil me in!
Wow, if this does end up happening on-site in your town, let me know and I'll get you stuff...swag, cars, whatever you need to make it bigger and better. Good PR right there.
Being that I'm a collector of Fire, Police, and Rescue vehicles I can not pass this up. I'll take the 11/12th weekend. I'll check with Jeremy about running them at the track cause we have a number of fire truck fans that would get a kick out of seeing this.
I'm in...

Awesome collection! The only fire truck I still have from my childhood is the yellow airport rescue truck. I remember having the Old #5 too but fell victim to my sandbox like many other cars.
I wonder if the opening race home town might allow the race to be held at the local Firehouse.
You know... For publicity. Maybe it'll make the papers? Heck... The news. Better yet... Maybe the final race could be on the tonight show??
Dreaming BIIIIIIGGGGGGG!!!
