Art Laski Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) For the first time in 57 years, the LA Roadster club will have a model show during the Father's Day LA Roadster show at the Pomona Fairplex. Come on out and join us for this inaugural event! This year, it will be a display show only, not a contest, but some special awards will be presented. This is the first time this group has entertained a model show, so let's get everybody together to show off our best stuff and make this an annual event! *** IT'S LESS THAN 4 WEEKS AWAY, SO PLEASE HELP GET THE WORD OUT!!!! *** Entries can be brought in beginning Saturday and up to 12:00 noon on Sunday Awards presented at 3:00 pm, Sunday. If entries are brought in on Saturday, a pass will be provided to the builder for show entry on Sunday for the awards and to pick up the entries (the pass for Sunday DOES NOT include parking).

Danno Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Dittos what Chris said! Art, I wish you and your new event good fortune, abundant attendance and participation, and overall success! On behalf of DSC, all the same! And I'm confident that I can say both clubs here (Moonight Modelers and Cactus Car Modelers) are equally supportive. It sounds like a great event with huge potential, and I know it will do well. {Besides, if Rusty's gonna be there, it can't go wrong, huh?!} Unfortunately, I can't personally be there this time (prior family commitments), but I'll keep the option open for next year! Godspeed and do well, my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Laski Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thanks for the bump, guys!**** THIS WEEKEND!!!! ******** Please note: There has been a schedule change. To avoid conflict with the big show, the awards presentation has been moved up to 2:00 PM Sunday. It sounds early, but the show opens at 7:00 AM, so there is plenty of time to display your model car artwork. Table space may be limited, so first come, first served. ****** The model car show will be in building 4** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Laski Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Yeah, Mike, I'm a little late for this post, but needed a little recovery time... Well, the Inaugural LA Roadster Show Model Car Display is in the books. It was a success all around, although we could've had a little higher builder participation. Nevertheless, all that came had a good time, and the show was a real hit with the public. I would also like to personally extend my gratitude to the following individuals, in no particular order, for their help to make this event a success: Rusty PriceJohn TeresiChris HaleJohn HilkertJon RaheEd ZinkeBob RomeroMichael ApodacaRyan CancinoJeff MillerThe LA Roadsters The LA Roadster club was extremely pleased with what they saw, and have already informally invited us back for next year. This is a terrific venue to expose the public to this hobby of ours. We had lots of spectator traffic both days, with very enthusiastic folks checking out the model art. As an example, we did a People's Choice ballot for our Top Five awards, and we had over 90 voters in a little over an hour. That means 90 people had to look at every model to cast their votes! It was a frenzy and quite a spectacular scene. Edelbrock gave us goody bags, which we distributed to the participants, and to voters until we ran out! They also expressed interest in helping us out a little next year, so the future looks extremely bright for this event going forward. I know it's Father's Day and a lot of folks have commitments on that day, but I strongly encourage you to join us next year for fun, and for the hobby! Here are results: Top Five People's Choice, in no order: Jeff Miller- 1940 Willys Convertible Jon Rahe- 1/8 Scale Supermodified John Teresi- Easyrider's Streamliner Michael Apodaca- Tweedie Pie Ed Zinke- Barry Setzer Vega Funny Car LA Roadsters President's PickJohn Teresi- Easyrider's Streamliner Here is the link the rest of my photos of the show.

Phildaupho Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi Art - I enjoyed the photos from your show but I had to use the My Fotki link as the other one kept taking me back to the forum post !!?? There were definitely some impressive models for the public to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

56bowtieguy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Art,Great job to you and Lisa for pulling this off with the short amount of time you had to prepare. It was a low key and relaxing event and I had a fun time hanging out with everyone. I am glad I was able to participate in the first show. Keep me posted on next year.I took some photos as well but don't have an account yet for one of the hosting sites, hope to have that set up soon and will post my pictures as soon as I can.

blunc Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Looks like a great start to an annual event.Don't wait too long to get with corporate sponsors, some companies set their marketing budgets before their next fiscal year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
