MAY LETTER FROM JIM

Finally some nice weather, hope everyone is enjoying this time of year. The hot wheel world seems a little quiet these days, even though Mattel has put out some great new models. Plenty of Muscle cars and Military looking vehicles and of course some exotic models to try on the track. I must say the delivery series and the Garage cars are the best. Plenty of quality going into some great castings.
Last months meeting was very well received. We raised money for our friend George, not to mention some great racing and brisk buying and trading. With just over 60 people in attendance we had a great time. Special thanks to Bruce Pascal for his redline donation to George. George was very thankful and will be starting his new hot wheels collection with those on top of his list.
Summer Smash 3 is coming along great. We picked up some sponsors to help defray costs and added a Trivia Contest by Bob Parker as well as the announcement of Fireball Tim being in attendance. Tickets are selling at a good pace and Liberty has sent us the first designs for the new Drag Bus which will be given out to all the ticket holders. Just reminders make sure you reserve your rooms at the Crowne Plaza and get your tickets as soon as possible. This could be a sell out.
Any one who can help us gather the casting RODGER DODGER would be a big help. We need them for the Smash. Any dodger will be fine if you have them let me know.
I couldn’t make it to the Nationals in St Louis but I heard it was a great time. We will have some of the cars at the meeting for display, come check them out.
Don’t forget June 24th through the 27th will be the big Orlando show put on by CJ of Diecastspace.com if you have the opportunity to go to Florida this Summer don’t miss this show.
FEATURE CAR RACE FOR MAY WILL BE A MOTHERS DAY RACE “PINK CARS ONLY” ANY DIECAST, SPECIAL PRIZE FOR THE FASTEST MOM.

Well that’s it for me, enjoy the great spring weather and happy hunting.
