Welcome to VintageRPM -- Racing/Photography/Models
My name is Mike Stucker. Auto racing, photographing that subject, and building models of race cars are my passions. What you will find on this web site will be photos of racers, both the real thing and in model form. Mostly the real thing. This site will grow and change, so please return every so often to see what's new. April, 2008: Corrected info at end of Shadow
section of Can-Am history. A Little History I've been a fan of auto racing as long as I can remember. Probably my earliest memory is hearing that Ford had won Le Mans in 1966 when their GT40s finished 1-2-3. I can remember watching NASCAR stockcars, USAC Indy cars, and the GP of Monaco on ABC's Wide World of Sports, when that was the only place you could watch racing on TV. My father took me to my first race in 1969, when I was 13, to see the Indy cars at Trenton, New Jersey. This was followed by three straight years of going to Watkins Glen, New York, for the World Championship of Makes and Can-Am races. Of course, during this whole time I was building models, mostly of cars. Then it was off to college in the late '70s and I kind of drifted away from racing. In the mid-1980s, with the proliferation of cable, and racing becoming a staple of cable, I was hooked again. Since then I've attended and photographed NASCAR, IMSA, WoO, CART, ALMS, NHRA, the SCCA Run-Offs, vintage races and small local tracks. In the '90s, I got back into building and collecting model cars, so that I could have 3-D replicas of some of the great race cars I've seen.
Have a look around. Check back every once in a while to see what's new. If you have any comments or questions, you can send me email at: Mike at VintageRPM dot com. All text and images on this site are copyright 1970-2008 Michael J. Stucker unless
