Jim Head “Close Call” 1997 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 Diecast – NHRA Nitro Racer Collectible
Some racers don’t just pass through the sport…
They stay in it, build it, and keep it alive for the next generation.
Jim Head is one of those racers.
Known for his blue-collar approach and deep roots in nitro racing, Head has spent decades in the NHRA pits as both a driver and team owner, earning respect for his persistence and passion for the sport. From driving Top Fuel dragsters in the 1990s to later fielding competitive Funny Cars, Head represents the kind of racer that keeps drag racing grounded in its hardworking roots.
The “Close Call” Top Fuel Dragster from 1997 captures a time when independent teams were still battling the heavy hitters of nitro racing, showing up week after week ready to compete with determination and grit. The late 1990s Top Fuel era was filled with booming horsepower, 300+ mph passes, and drivers who weren’t afraid to push the limits.
Today, Jim Head continues his legacy as a team owner in NHRA Funny Car, helping guide new talent like Spencer Hyde, proving his commitment to the sport hasn’t slowed down.
This Jim Head “Close Call” 1997 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 diecast, produced by Action / Lionel ARC and limited to just 1 of 5,000 produced, is a great representation of the independent spirit that helped shape modern nitro racing.
Pre-owned and in great condition, this collectible is a perfect addition for fans who appreciate the hardworking racers who have dedicated their lives to the sport.
At Revelry1, we don’t just sell diecast.
We celebrate the racers who never left the staging lanes.
