The event raised a lot of money donated to the venue (Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, CA).
My ten raffle tickets purchased for $1 each yielded four picks! What was really nice was that the prizes were arranged on a table and each winning ticket holder could pick any one. I chose a Revell '66 Chevy pickup kit, a pair of Curt Reitz wire wheels, an STS decal pack, and a pair of 3D Scale Parts beer kegs.
Seeing John Teresi's models was worth the price of admission alone. The quality of many of the other builders was outstanding and inspirational, too.
Some of my entries are in these photos: 124, 126, 128, 130, 187, and 191.
