Model Show Coverage: Rennsport Reunion III

[Zoom Zoom]

ACME hosted the model car show at this year's Rennsport Reunion III at the Daytona International Speedway. A hundred models were entered, and we had a blast running the show and meeting other modelers and Porsche enthusiasts. To say the show went over well is an understatement, it was a very popular side event to the 1:1 car show.

While bored, I was surfing the net looking at Rennsport pictures taken by other people, reading articles about the show, etc... when I came across this on MotorTrend Magazine...

Oh dear...while that's cool and perhaps an honor, I still can't help but be reminded of my cynical and sarcastic view of "Motor Friend" :D
