Father-in-law of site founder
Bill Crittenden. He inspired the original name of the website, Cars And Racing Stuff, as he was looking for a business name that would use the word "cars" as an acronym. The business was intended to be online sales of model cars, die cast cars, and racing collectibles with a small news and information section contributed by
Bill Crittenden, but after a delay in getting the online store up and running news and information became the sole purpose of the site. He remains an unofficial advisor and one of the top contributors to
The Crittenden Automotive Library.

2006 Newsletter Editor of
IPMS/C.A.R.S. in Miniature
