It is going to include all kinds of catagories including , ARMOR, AIRCRAFT, AUTOMOBILES, SCI FI , SHIPS, DIORAMAS AND MORE. This contest will not have judges rather this will be a builders choice contest.

We already have some big sponsors, Tamiya USA, Squadron.com, Great planes,Revell and more are sure to follow."

The 5th Annual GoodGuys Spring Nationals Model Car and Pedal Car Show will be Friday-Saturday-Sunday, March 7 – 8 - 9, 2014 at Westworld in Scottsdale, AZ. The Model Car and Pedal Car Show will take place all three days. Goodguys at Scottsdale is Arizona's longest-running model car/truck event! As an extra added attraction for model car/truck builders, there will be as many as 2,500 1:1 scale rods, customs, street machines, muscle cars, and special interest vehicles on display for modeling inspiration! Here's the scoop: Registration is Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 11am. You may register and enter as many models and/or pedal cars as you would like to bring. There is no entry fee to register for the Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest. Past winners are welcome for display. We encourage you to bring all or as many of your models as you'd like, even if they've been displayed or entered before! There will be thousands of spectators on hand to see your models and they love all varieties of model cars and trucks! Where else can your model get that kind of exposure? There is no entry fee for model cars or pedal cars, but you must pay regular admission to get into the event either Friday or Saturday in order to enter the Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest. Bonus! When you enter the Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest, you will receive a free all-day pass to enter the event on Sunday to pick up your models/pedal cars (between 2pm and 3pm). So, at the very least, you get two days' admission for the price of one! * Extra bonus! If you enter 10 or more models and/or pedal cars, you will get free admission for the day you enter as well as Sunday for pick up. Just contact the Model Car Show Director before the event for details ~ GoodAZGuy@cox.net Peoples Choice balloting and selection of the Top 12 will be conducted all three days; awards will be displayed with winning models and pedal cars on Sunday following the Revell Make-N-Take event.

Revell will provide a free snap kit for each child 12 years of age & under who is in attendance and builds the kit at the event. Moonlight Modelers Club and Cactus Car Modelers Club members will be on hand to advise or help the youngsters with their kits if needed. The Southwest Nationals Model Car and Pedal Car Show/Contest will be inside the big ‘tent’ building (where the Barret-Jackson auction is held) at the main entry to the GoodGuys Southwest Nationals event. >>> Post any questions here, or contact the model car show director at GoodAZGuy@cox.net <<< Come see us there!!!
