Introduction
« on: October 07, 2017, 09:39:39 AM »
Hi Everybody,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I hope this is the right section of the board for that. Anyway, my name is Gary Sleeper and I  live in Plano, Texas, about 25 miles north of Dallas. I'm retired. I'm new to the board, but not to modeling or short track racing. I wrote for Open Wheel magazine for several year and I wrote "The Watson Years: When Roadsters Ruled the Speedway." All my writing was done under the pen name "Gary Wayne."
These days, As GWS Custom Decals, I make  water slide decals for models in almost any scale. I've done Indy cars, sprints, midgets and a bunch of others. I can always be reached at gws.decals@verizon.net.
I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of great short track builds here. Thanks for having me!

Best,
Gary

Welcome, Gary!!!  I'm glad you found us here and just feel free to jump right in and have some fun!!!  We're a small family here but we sure do enjoy each other's company.  It's always good to have another decal maker here and I will need some made when the purse strings relax in a few months.  Im looking forward to getting to know you!!!
