Might have to complain to Scale Auto on a couple of things.... ;D
In the 2017 issue they posted the same build, though from 2 different shows.
But, what caught my eye, was a build of the AMT Modified stocker, same build, #8 painted yellow, from the Buckeye Classic from Columbus OH, 03/.25/2012
AND from the Buckeye Classic, from Hilliard, OH, 03/18/2017, at nearly the same angle.....

Why I had the 2012 issue out, I have no idea...... ??? ::) ;D ;D

This is why I quit buying the mag! They repeat articles all the time and the editing stinks!

 :)  I think that " favoritism " is probably age old, and in a lot of things.  I like the way the Memphis guys did theirs.   They had their own members show on a separate table from the main show.

I love the little square coupes! The model A is my favorite! Great looking build, Gary! Almost looks like it could race in Wisconsin!
