GTR NNL number 2

[Exotics_Builder]

A midsummer event, this is the second rendition. About 130 models were entered in a NNL type format with 8 awards, a theme and peoples’ choice. For sure, Illinois and Wisconsin modelers were represented.

The theme for this event was 100 Years of Indy and models related to Indianapolis Motor Speedway racing were eligible. This included Indy Cars, PPG CART, Pace Cars, USAC racers, NASCAR, support vehicles, etc.

Before going into the models, let me introduce you to George Kroll and two of the eight models he entered. George is a member of the Lake Michigan Model Car Club and is LEGALLY BLIND. So, if you think you have problems building, think of George and his COURAGE.

I was fortunate enough to win best custom with my 1950 Ford Custom Convertible and Theme with my 1955 Chevrolet Pace car.

Revell was on site, with 2009 catalogs and a display, including built ups, of upcoming models. They were also generous enough to donate model kits for a raffle.

Below is the link to the show photos. ENJOY!
