OK, I'll toss in my thoughts on this. I know it probably has no meaning to anyone else, but this is what I'm thinking. These race cars obviously have multiple histories to them. When someone "restores" one of these cars, how do they determine what point in history they restore it to? For example, if the Kirby car was first raced with just his name on it at the very first event it went to, then Dick Harrell teamed up with him and they added his name later in the season, shouldn't the car be restored to just Kirby's name and have no reference to Dick Harrell? Or is it being restored with Harrell's name due to the notoriety? As for the the #2 ZL1, did it have Dick Harrell's name on it when it was first raced? If so, why should there be any royalty involved in restoring the car to the way it originally was raced? And lastly, I'll use Kevin's ZLX as another example. Do you restore it to the original condition as delivered from Motion to be raced or restore it to it's most famous condition while being raced? IMO, the cars should be restored to day 1 race condition. If the owner wants to restore it to day 233 race condition when Dick Harrell was a sponsor or teammate, then yes, a royalty probably should be paid in that situation. That's my thoughts on these race cars and I know it doesn't mean much. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/JeffSucksToo.gif[/img]
