I don't think RR's Tim Leeming - The Legend - collects Danica or DW items, but a story caught my eye this morning I thought I'd pass along to him in case he wanted one of these souvenirs:

Souvenirs commemorating Auto Club Speedway Water Tower in Fontana will be made available

Auto Club Speedway in Fontana will make available a limited number of souvenirs commemorating the Speedway Water Tower, which stood for about 70 years before being removed in late 2013.

A very limited number of Water Tower-shaped tubes containing actual concrete remnants of the tower -- numbered 1 through 500 will be available to fans during Auto Club 400 weekend at the Fontana track March 21-23 while they last.

The replica cylinders will be sold at the Gate D ticket office located at the west end of the speedway, just outside the tunnel.

The cost will be $10 (cash only), with proceeds benefiting the Auto Club Speedway Foundation.

Any units remaining after the race weekend will be made available for purchase online through the Auto Club Speedway ticketing system.

The historic Water Tower was built shortly after the Kaiser Steel Mill first opened in the 1940s and remained there long after the plant closed in 1983. The speedway was built at the site in 1997.

I would be nice to add one of these to my collection but, fortunately, I won't be at Auto Club Speedway Sunday. Also, I do not buy anything on line. I must admit, however, that one of those would be a nice place to store my Pringles after I dumped out the rocks! Thanks for thinking of me Dave.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
