Maindrian Pace Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 One of the most amazing pieces there was this supercharged, twin turbocharged 1/4 scale Hemi. It started out as a kit (I think it was a Hawk kit) and of that kit, only the block and heads are original; everything else, and I mean everything - was scratch built from numerous materials with some parts machined and others cast aluminum. The builder and his wife were a charming couple in their 50s or 60s, and both were deaf and possibly mute, as neither talked. We communicated with a pad and pen, and traded info on Facebook. He also showed us 1:24 scale wheels he made, and the drag guys were blown away by those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Best of show. When John Teresi comes to town, you probably aren't going to win best of show. It was quite deserving. Edited April 26, 2022 by Maindrian Pace 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Excellent photos, thank you for sharing them with us. I was at the contest early Saturday and had a chance to see most of the entries. I knew John would win best in Show,, his builds are always amazing. Congratulations to John for another well deserved BiS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks for the pics! This was my first time at the show and definitely not the last. Next year I will bring some of my builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Florie Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks for the pictures. The builder of the hemi is Wes Campbell from Missouri. Nice couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Her name was Kathy Howard, I didn't catch his and it wasn't written on the entry cards. And yes, a very nice couple. They came here from Missouri for this show? Outstanding, I wonder if they scored the long distance award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majel Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Great pictures and it looks like there were a lot of amazing models! Always a fun show with great people, fair judging and wonderful hospitality. Hopefully i can get back there next year. Thanks for the pictures!

Phildaupho Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 WOW - what a show - incredible models - thanks for the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Florie Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 They came to Phoenix a number of years ago and Wes took best of show with his mini cooper. The hemi wasn't quite done. I f there was a long distance award he would have beaten me by only a few hundred miles since I came from Tulsa Ok. just south of his home.
