Hi Chad,

The next show/contest is actually THIS weekend, Sat. & Sun. Oct. 10 & 11, at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, held in conjunction with the NSRA Southeast Nationals car show. It's run by a great group of modelers, "M.A.G.S." ( info can be found at their site - www.mags.name ). A lot of former Suncoast Model Car Club guys are in this group. I think this is the 22nd year for this contest. And it is a JUDGED contest, not an NNL style. This year's theme is "Wagons & Woodies" along with awards in 16 categories plus Master Awards and "Specialty" awards made by the M.A.G.S. members. There is also a "Make & Take" event for the kids on Saturday at 1:30pm. Besides the contest fee, there is an entrance and parking fee for the car show where there is usually over 1500 cars to see all along the fairgrounds. But all model contest entrants receive a free gate pass for re-entry on Sunday. Registration is 10am - 4pm on Saturday and awards are handed out at 2pm on Sunday.
