2024 MID-AMERICA NATIONALS

Hope to see you there!

I'm a bit surprised to see that there's no "Factory Stock" category.

That's really weird.

 

Most shows that I go to in my area have probably more factory stock entrants than any other category.

I understand "Box Stock", but "Modified Box Stock"?

Most of my models wouldn't fit into either category.

They're stock, but not out of the box, and most contain at least a few aftermarket parts.

 

I don't remember ever seeing a model car show that didn't have a "Factory Stock" category, without limitations.

Very strange.

We did have a factory stock class in the past but we didn't  have anyone enter the class so we dropped the class.

Strange.

 

Some of the best models I've ever seen, and some of the best modelers I know, build factory stock.

I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.

I just had attended a show Saturday. Factory stock was the most crowded table.

I was thinking about it last night and some names came to mind.

Many of them are members of this board.

 

Bill Geary, Dominick Filbotte, Rod Maskew, Bob Jernigan, "Yura1961", just to name a few.

They don't all build factory stock exclusively, but they're some of the best builders I've ever seen!

 

(Sorry if I messed up any of your names!)

Okay.

Well, I had thought about attending your show at some point in the future, as I'm not really all that far away, but it appears that there would be no point in it.

I pretty much build nothing but factory stock, and almost none of my stuff would fit into any of the categories.

 

C'est la vie.

Though there is no factory stock class your builds would fit into the street machine class… depending on the year that is. It is a great show and lots of good vendors. You should really come check it out.

I have been to this show several times and it is quite good. For me, I have to travel to what ever show I go to.
