89AKurt Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Most excellent! You are a man after my heart, I would rather exercise than try to get a shiny paint job. Much more satisfying to get a realistic patina, which can hide runs drips and errors. Congrats getting those sweet looking awards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though we'd see you there. About 175 models on display. Pat and David helped with the judging. Kit Karson drove down in his '34 pickup so we actually participated in the 1:1 portion of the show. Smaller turnout overall as expected, not many vendors in the building which gave the model car show plenty of room to stretch out in. Tim K was absent as well. -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather this time of year is certainly better than April for outdoor activities including a car show. I hope they keep this time of year, sure was most comfortable. There were a surprising number of vehicles from up North in attendance. -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Congrats! I've never been to the NSRA show in Tampa even though I've lived within 20 miles of it. Now that I know they have a model contest will give me a reason to go! Seems like most of the car shows around here are more like used car lots with all the modern stuff that shows up. Turkey Rod Run has gotten really bad about that. Maybe that's why they changed the name to Turkey Run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why they changed the name to Turkey Run. The NSRA is allowing cars that are 30 years and older and modified into their shows now. Until 2010 a car had to be pre 1949 vintage. I don't really mind it. There were some stunning modified '60s muscle cars in attendance. I hope to see you at the model contest at the next show. -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Well deserved award, RRR - proves my statement that speed and durability win races, not high-gloss paint jobs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
