Holt Arena 2024: 4-4-2 Oldsmobile 1970

It seems appropriate that this 1970 Oldsmobile 442 decided to make an appearance in a colligate sports arena that first opened in 1970.

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show.

2024, Holt Arena-ICCU Dome Part-2: Chrome in the Dome

In January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.  The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

Holt Arena 2024: Parking Lot Queens (Kings?)

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show.

There were several cool old cars in the parking lot outside the (now formerly) Holt Arena, on the Idaho State University campus.  Here is a sampling;

Holt Arena 2024, part-1: Chrome in the ICCU Dome

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, probably for the last time in ‘Holt Arena’.  That’s because in January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.

The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

My children all had their high school graduations in Holt Arena, and I attended my own graduation from ISU in Holt Arena.  It’s also used for many things other than sports and graduations, such as the Pocatello Spring Fair, farm shows and car shows, let’s go!

Custom trophies for custom cars! Trophies were made by Idaho State University-College of Technology Automotive Program students.

Model Gift Build: Late Xmas #3 update

Update on the third late Xmas gift build.

Blaming my personal blend of coffee beans for procrastinating what should have been a fast/easy build:

Monogram messin’ with me, glue together versus snap-together:

Where I say “exactly the same” replace with ‘close enough (for government work) to be considered the same’:

Remember that Canadian comedian asking you “want some more pancakes?”:
