    Thought I would start a thread to post our F355 Challenge collectables. I have two reasons for doing so. One to show the stuff I have collected so far in case people were interested and the second reason is to see if you guys have anything out there I am missing and need to hunt for. I have a mezzanine in the shop that will serve as the man cave and I have some glass display cases to fill. If you have something post some pictures.

    Original Paddock Pass and unused window sticker from the Finals in Imola when my car was there competing. The window sticker still has the backing on it so is hard to read. The original driver of my car was Jong Wha Kim and he sent these to me. He also sent some great photos and literature. I am very appreciative of these items as they are impossible to come by.

    Just some of the pictures Mr Kim sent me of the car in action and from his time at the finals. He was even in the Ferrari box for a picture. Not sure who else is there with him but maybe someone here recognizes them. I have told him that his trophy would have a place of honor here if he ever decides to lend it to me for display with the car. In one race he broke the shift lever and he kept it as a souvenir.

    I also have a diecast of Dr Earl's car somewhere. I bought it here and I believe it was signed by him. There is also a silver one that I am aware of. Normally I only collect the 1:18 scale. The one I have looks like this:

    thanks for posting this, that car is now in my possession since 2003 and for sale! SN #104504. Earle raced it with the Italian Flag on Yellow and then Dr. Martinez Italian Flag on Silver. The same car and I wonder if more Hot Wheels models were made of any other individual car?

    That is an awesome piece of Ferrari history. If I had the means I would own it and mine both. Good luck with the sale. Let me know where it ends up when she does sell.

    I'm not much of a collector, Erik. I have this monograph for my car prepared by David Seibert for its previous owner which contains my car's race history and a copy of the draft of the 1995 Technical Regulations Manual...

    And I have its steering wheel which Peter Sachs was nice enough to sign for me last year...

    Well cleaning my race items, you definitely need the 348 Challenge poster, of Paul Frame standing next to Ms. Rockwear KLOL in a yellow bikini!

    Simpler times it seems....

    Strange, FNA gave Dave all that info. I requested it several times from him and he never gave it.

    Rob,

    I have a pdf copy of the monograph. It's a large file. I'd be happy to send it to you via Hightail. It has race records for 1995 and 1996 for Challenge races Peter Sachs competed in.
