THE ARCHIVE
BUILT, RACED AND REMEMBERED.
The Archive is the growing visual record of Scale Speed Syndicate, preserving 1/64 scale competition cars, garage projects, historic images, race activity, special builds, and moments worth carrying forward.
Some entries document the continuing history of the Syndicate. Others were preserved for a simpler reason: they deserved to be remembered.
Together, they form a record of the cars, people, projects, victories, failures, trophies, tire smoke, and turning points that continue to shape Scale Speed Syndicate.
The Archive is not simply a collection of photographs. It is where the history of SSS is kept alive. If a car, race, build, image, or unexpected moment became part of the Syndicate story, there is a good chance it belongs here.

CEO Rick and a crewmember inspect a crack in the windshield after the #78 Borla Ford GT LM secured the pole during qualifying. The damage was minor, the starting position was not, and repairs began before race-day preparation continued.

WE TAKE 1/64 SCALE MOTORSPORT VERY SERIOUSLY.

GARAGE & RACE DAY PHOTOS
Routine maintenance at Scale Speed Syndicate: and absolutely nobody willing to admit who dropped the 10mm socket.
Ouch! Rick’s #78 Ford GT LM entered into the corner hot and left with in considerably more pieces than it entered with.
ONE DRIVER. ONE ERA. FOUR TITLES.
FOUR CONSECUTIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Before the race, everyone was expecting a successful day of racing for the #63 Ford Torino. They were on the pole and had a fast car. But they would be disappointed, after being hit from behind pushing the #63 on it's nose!
The infamous lost headstand photo was found in an old toolbox in the back of the Scale Speed Syndicate Garage.
