chris coffey Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 hey there everyone!! just joined the forum on here, i am Chris Coffey, and i hale from the cold, but adjoining neighbor of Mr. Watson & Mr. Hutchings of North Eastern WA state, Spokane area!! I am a serious drag racing fanatic and builder of just about everything with the exception of NASCAR and semi trucks. I am also the model and pedal car show director for the Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals model car contest. To add to the less then impressiveness, i am also the President of the Scale Auto Builders of Spokane, a club that is about 15 members strong, and about 10 whenever i can come strong. I usually try to attend the Model Car Sunday's in Puyallup every other year. I am excited to finally get hooked up here, and look forward to interacting with other like-minded builders on the forum here. Now enough about me, let's hear from you!! chris coffey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris coffey Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey Fred!! long time, no email!! yes, i was a MCL'er, haven't been for a while. I am still a member of Drastics & Adrenaline drag racing. I am also a member of a jillion other ones, but keeping track of 300 plus emails got to be a chore. I sure am glad i joined up here!! chris coffey, spokane WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towmaster Dave Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've been to Model Car Sunday the past three years straight and a few at random before that. I'm not exactly sure the names of the people running it, but it was the same club as always. Last years show was great but not as big of a turnoout as the two previous years. Hope to see you there at the next show, Mercedes Benz is the theme for 2008. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a member plus past newsletter editor, president and contest coordinator. It's a little tough to get to meetings now as I'm 2000 miles east off I-90.

Towmaster Dave Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey your just down the road on I-90 a "couple" hours. PSAMA has done a nice job of the Puyallup show every year I've been, and always some impresive model cars there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettecote Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Chris Coffey, I met someone with that name once. Did you ever live or visit Tehachapi Calif in the 1990's? It was a man and his son, one of them was a Chris Coffey....interceptor101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris coffey Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 nope, lived in Spokane, Wasington all my life, except for a stint in the ARMY, which kept me in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The last couple times i went to Cali for the March Meet in Bakersfield, it rained out both times, so i try not to go, as to not spoil it!!! Thanks for asking though!!

vettecote Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yes, the March meets. Thats where I went to, my first drag race. 1974 I believe. Saw Jungle Jim and Jungle Pam there. Its about an hour and a half from Tehachapi. ....Interceptor001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
