It was a really good show with a large turnout of models. kudos to Art for pulling it off. It must have been a lot of work because he sure looked busy. Not a lot of road racing models on display, but there was a highly detailed 1/12 1974 McLaren that really stood out. I didn't take any photos, but maybe someone else did and will share them.

Thanks for making it out, Rob! I have some shots of the scene here:

Started looking at that Fotki folder. Saw real quick that right across the aisle was the booth for WRA. Vintage Midget and Sprint car racers. I made a lot of house payments restoring cars for those guys. Unfortunately, everybody I knew in the group has passed away and/or left the group.

Maybe I can share pics of a couple of those cars even if circle track cars ARE sort of OT.

More important than the pictures I'm trying to share is testing sharing from Google Pics. I'm not real optimistic.

Well It looks like I'm not going to share those photos... other than putting up a link to them. Fotki is only good for posting links and they want money too. Not any where NEAR what phototoilet wants tho. Not sure how this picture thing is going to pan out. Kinda like we just stepped back into the 20th century.

I talked to the guys in the WRA booth for quite a while. They are putting on shows at Irwindale. I've never been to Irwindale and I thought it had shut down, but I may check out one of the WRA shows.

I talked to them for a while too. Met Dave Sweeney, who has a long history in racing, so it was fun talking to him.

Rob, did you get one of the free passes they were giving out? Maybe we can head up there that night. I think the free pass was good for 8/19 when those guys are there.

[robhart]

Art, yes I did get a free pass for the Aug. 19th event. Lets plan on going. August is looking to be a good month; the Carlsbad NNL show on the 12th, Irwindale on the 19th, and the PAS Hall of Fame show on the 26th. Woo Hoo!
