Good stuff, Mike!   Thanks for the tip on the coupons.  I can see some Modeler Grudge Matches coming!!!    
  
  
Also, as we add to the attractions, allow me to point out that Chris Sobak, Brad Norgaard, Art Laski, Randy Dillon, and Tim Pentecost are going to be slugging it out with their incredible scratch-built brass and plastic artistry, all the while competing for attention with John Teresi, Rick Blassl, [your name here], and a gaggle of other miniature plastic masters! 
  
  
*It's probably a good time to point out, as we are now only 6-1/2 weeks away, that guests and entrants in the Desert Scale Classic never compete with the hosts.  We have a separate, people's choice competition for the host club members.  Forget anything that's ever happened anywhere else.  It's a Cactus Car Modelers tradition, and it's set in concrete!   
  
OnLine Registration is open!   Go to www.Cactuscarmodelers.com and select the Desert Scale Classic tabs.  
  
We'll see you in the warm, hospitable Valley of the Sun!
