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.

Best of show. When John Teresi comes to town, you probably aren't going to win best of show. It was quite deserving.

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.

You're welcome everyone, it was an event to remember. So many great builders, and almost none of them brought just one entry.

Thanks for all the great pics.  I missed it again ! I always seem to be away on vacation when the show is held.

[Nosferatu]

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.

Thanks for the pictures. The builder of the hemi is Wes Campbell from Missouri. Nice couple.

[Maindrian Pace]

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.

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]

WOW - what a show - incredible models - thanks for the photos

[Vic Florie]

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.
