All,

 

This is a reminder for that the Can-Am race, Saturday of the Modelville Retro Marathon, April 12 on the Purple Mile, we are emphasizing realistic, scale bodies.  Concours/best appearing is going to value historic and realistic uppermost, along with the usual quality, creativity, and effort considerations.

And to encourage creativity and participation, resident New England Concours Monster Dave Gesner has agreed to bow out of this one!

 

Maybe, just maybe, consider entering a platform that doesn't begin with the letters Ti ?

So, here you go.  $50, $30, and $20 MVH gift certificates to the top three cars.  And, each of the top three will receive a delicious pie, from Cambridge, Massachusetts' top pie bakery, Petsi Pies.

 

See you then!

Okay, for those of us that failed art class in high school, Casinoslotcars will donate a $25 MVH gift certificate to the ugliest car. My decision is final, no voting, and for goodness sake, please accept that this is just a fun way for me to support the event.
