Probably just a coincidence but I think the Showdown “Sportsman Class” start date of 1954 might have been based on the first Revell model of a Hot Rod model kit in 1954 ( sold as Revell Highway Pioneers series of Hot Rods for juniors) ??

Anyway I am now thinking the “Hotrods” could form part of of a 3 Event Proxy for American Sedans which would include Nascars, Trans Am and Hotrods. Possibly to be called “ Racing American Sedans”

However still at an early stage of development, so don’t go planning any models as yet.
