Ferrari Expo 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are again pleased to announce the Ferrari Club of America will be hosting the Ferrari Expo literature/model/collectibles show at Continental Autosport Ferrari/Maserati near Chicago in Hindsdale, Illinois on March 19th 2011.

Along with the normal tables full of books, art, old collectibles and models we will again be hosting a hand built model contest at the Expo. All the models entered in the model contest must be built by the person entering. Another member of the Ferrari Club will be also running a photo contest. More information on that later.

The model contest will have a special theme for the Carrera Panamericana in 2011. This added feature will be combined into our normal F1/sportscar/FIA scale classes.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here are the handbuilt model contest classes for 2011.

Ferrari Expo 2011 model Classes:

Class 1 1/43rd road race/sportscar/Lemans/F1/Indy/FIA rally

Class 2 1/24th road race/sportscar/Lemans/FIA rally

Class 3 1/24th-1/25th-1/20th F1/Indy open wheel

Class 4 1/6th-1/18th road race/sportscar/Lemans/F1/Indy/FIA rally

Class 5 best model of show, all scales included( another nice reward for this model in 2011)

Ferrari Expo 2012 is only 2 short weeks away. If you are an advanced modeler looking for a show with a high quality model contest to compete in please drop by.

We have people from the east and west coast along with Mexico and Canada also dropping by to enter sportcar/racecar models at the show. You will be happy you came.

All sportscar/racecar manufacturers are welcome, not just Ferrari's.

Show hours are 9AM-4PM Saturday March 17th 2012 at Continental Autosport Ferrari/Maserati in Hinsdale, Illinois.

Here is a link to one of the builders that is coming. Joe is from New Jersey. The model shown is 1/43rd, but all scale models are welcome as long as they are handbuilt by the person entering.
