2818 wow I was 2818 at ELMACO Camp Pend. Small world, not very many 2818s in the world.

I've been running these for several years now. If the one I chose for the night is under performing I just dive into the pits & switch it out. My personal favorite: Full Wets!!

love those but where are the intermediates?

Edit.

2022 tyre options

The purple super soft colour has been retired.

 

[TheRealTeddyKGB]

I'm pretty sure they never made the intermediates but if they did I missed out for sure!

orange colour also retired.

Since 2022 to simplify it for the fans apparnetly, the composition of Red, Yellow & White change for each race based on the characteristics of the track from a choice of 5 different compounds, C1-C5.

I got all excited when I found this:

But it's from a different year & it doesn't match my others...

Three of the players in my group (including myself) are Marines, and while bouncing around the web looking for a suitable/unique card guard, I cam across a website that sells miniature, metal figurines of military personnel and other historical figures. They were a little pricey and they had to ship from Hong Kong, but I am a gambler by nature so I ordered 5 different Marines with the belief that I would give my two Marine Brothers their own on the upcoming Marine Corps birthday. They arrived today, and they are FANTASTIC. Could not be happier, and my Brothers are in for a treat.

Semper Fi.

I have all sorts of respect for Marines. My roommate at the firehall is a former Marine. But even he says that your figurine is Robert Downey Jr from Tropic Thunder.

Oddly enough, they produce figures modeled after a couple of the characters from Full Metal Jacket and I couldn’t help but order a couple of those as well. I am very impressed with the quality.

Brought a bottle of Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon to a game one time and snapped off the little medal to use. It’s been my lucky charm ever since!

Picked up some 1oz silver bars to use for card protectors. Going to give away the Santa if someone felts me at the next home game!

I like shiny things, too.

I think Kenny Rogers is my new favorite card protector. He likes to talk to me every now and then and tell me when to hold em and when to fold em. Sometimes he tells me when to walk away and when to run.

 

[shorticus]

This one is by far my favorite and most used.

Also I have a few other collected trinkets and chips that I’ll use from time to time.

This is the one I've been using most recently (in tandem with my PCF coin):

Next to a poker sized playing card:

I bought a couple of clear acrylic discs (for the life of me I can't remember/find where I bought them) and a couple of emblems from AliExpress which came with double sided tape. I made 2 and gave away 1. This acrylic disc is 8cm in diameter and about 3.5mm in thickness.

I just ordered some more discs from DelviesPlastics on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/listing/764646177 These go up to 1/4" thick but there are other vendors that offer thicker. I also ordered a few more emblems (variety of).

The kinda cool thing about these is that you can take any kind of flat-backed emblem (or decal or patch, but I think emblems work/look better) and attach it to a disc with dimensions specified by you that best fit a particular emblem. All sorts of emblems out there to choose from as well! Anyone know of an Isle of Man TT emblem for sale? I think I"m gonna message this seller and see if she can make a small one for me - https://www.etsy.com/listing/882600153

This has been mine since about 2002. A buddy of mine fabricated the outer, but all the gears are from clocks, some of which predate the United States.

He’s the one who nicknamed me Johnny Gears, for which my old poker room was named.

I haven’t talked to him in years. Real douche.

Started using this last week and ran pretty good so won’t make KFC with it just yet!
