From the Mad Mike Collection!
  Something important to know about the Mad Mike Collection. Unless otherwise noted many of the replicas being offered from the Mad Mike Collection will be rated as MINT because that is just what they are. Again unless otherwise noted most have never been removed from the factory packaging they came in. Many images that will be used in our ads will be from our archives of trackside images we shot or of diecast we have sold over the years. Box condition will be part of our rating process as well.

   The Top Fuel final round at Indy in 1971 will forever be remembered as the “great burn-down” race, the one where Steve Carbone outlasted Don Garlits in a battle of nerves and then won the biggest race in the sport. “Once I got past the semi-finals I knew I had the race won,” Carbone would say after the race. “We knew what Don was doing and we planned accordingly.” What Don was doing was running a new Keith Black motor with aluminum heads, and what Carbone knew was that the car would build up a lot of heat and power the longer it sat there. “I wasn’t going to stage first even if the headers melted off,” Carbone said prior to the final round, and he was true to his word. “What did he have to lose?,” Don would lament after the race. “I was running 6.20’s and they were running 6.60’s.” This set is 100% complete and is in excellent condition.
