Ramcharger

Stand 25 ft away from a racecar and then 1 ft away from your model.  the finish should look the same.  BTW, racecars were lettered by hand with one shot back in the day, so the finish should be as shiny as the car.  `At 25 ft away you can't tell the difference (IMHO) anyway.  I clear over them and I don't worry about it.  If my cars lose a contest because the decals were cleared over, I'm OK with that.

Great turnout!  Some new faces and some returning faces, and of course, great models!

BEST OF SHOW

Rob Smorey

Gremlin

Ohio Challenge

 

Ohio Challenge

The Gremlin Challenge whiner, oops, winner was Rob "Da Bomb"  Smorey with his pro stock Gremmi. I think it was the Ford Cammer under the hood that sealed the deal for him. Thanks to all who entered.  Next year's challenge is the 1957 Ford Custom 300, although we're not that picky as long as its a '57 Ford.  I'd like to see some Cinci, Dayton, and Z-ville guys get in on this. 

Photos of a great show!  Thanks to all who came!
