Super September Showdown VIII - Gilbertsville, PA

[Daniel Peterson]

Just posting a gentle reminder to anyone interested in attending the Central Pennsylvania Model Car Club's annual model contest and vendor show on September 16th 2007 in Gilbertsville, PA.

We have historically hosted about 350 models in a variety of classes at each of the previous seven shows. Voting is by way of spectator ballot, and trophies are awarded for each class (21 this year) as well as the "Best of Show" honors.

This year's theme is any 4wd or all wheel drive vehicle driven on or off road. This means pretty much anything from a rallye car to a Monster truck.

In addition to the contest, there will be a bunch of vendors selling kits and accessories all day. This is a neat way to spend a Sunday whether you enter a model for competition or just come to hang out with us.

For more information, go to the CPMCC website ( http://www.freewebs.com/cpmcc/index.htm ) and check out "Special Events".

I'm also happy to announce that all 22 trophy packs are committed to and the cache of door prizes is starting to shape up nicely thanks to some generous individuals, clubs, kit vendors and corporate sponsors!

The list of classes is as follows:

Factory Stock 1900-1949
