Thanks Joe. I think everybody had a good time. The weather was good and they had plenty of exotic real cars to look at along with all the great models. Your model was stunning and deserved "Best of show" as much as any model I have ever seen!! The show is all about quality not quantity. I hope we have even more builders from Mexico again next year.
They add fresh top talent not seen in this country very often. It also was great to see some new young builders enter the contest for the first time.
Their models would make anyone proud!!
