HO mainly, but I would guesstimate that maybe 25 ~ 30% is dedicated to "Big Scale" stuff including new and vintage.

How does this show compare to the Matteson/Chicago show, just wondering if it is worth the 8 hour trip???

It depends on what your at the Chicago Matteson show for........we set up at both and do so for different reasons. Richfield is good for Vintage HO (Aurora specifically) but there are still plenty of racers, modern HO and 1:32, but very little 1:24 compared to Chicago/Matteson.

Over all, Tjets & AFX rain supreme at Richfield....and don't forget, this is the oldest slot car only show in North America!

JMHO

Hey John ,
Do you know if there are any tables left. I sent Brad an email last week trying to reserve a table , but have not heard back from him.
Any help ?

Thanks
Mike

The showroom in Richfield is definately smaller than the one in Matteson, but the density of product and top notch dealers in Richfield is very high. It's often packed to the gills. I think John has a strategic place next to the door which can be popped to let in a little life sustaining oxygen.

A lot of the quality dealers that you hear mentioned in a good light on this board, like Slot Car Johnny, Bob Beers, Mike Vitale (RRR), Buds HO, MotorCityToyz, Bear, BadL, and many more that I'm forgetting are usually there. Henry Harnish was at the last show selling some cool sets and set-only AFX cars that I've never seen before. I've met dealers from as far away as California at the show.

I never leave the show with any money left in my wallet.

Where was Buds???
Two shows in a row with Buds MIA at Richfield.
Too bad.

I just want to thank the moron who posted April 30th as the date for the slot car show on the web. I got up early this morning, went to the bank to pull out some cash, got on the turnpike and drove all the way to Richfield, pulled into the parking lot of the Quality Inn hotel, saw a sign that stated Welcome slot car peope! Thought to myself this must be the place! Looked around and thought, must not be a big show the parking lot is empty, went to the check in desk and the manager said the show was last Sunday! He also said he heard they had some problems posting the date on the net. Guess what? HE WAS RIGHT! THANKS A LOT FOR A FRUSTRATING, EXPENSIVE DAY FOR NOTHING! DALE

If you check the dates on this thread, you will notice that on April 30th 2006 there indeed was a show. Didn't you think it was a little strange to have a slot car show on a Wednsday? A Wednsday show would be a great idea if you didn't want any kids or anyone with a day job to attend. :thumbsup:

High Dale Panasewicz, welcome to the HTBB.....I guess I'm the moron your looking for. :wave:

As others have mentioned, that was last years show date they usually change from year to year you know? In fact, most show promoters have both a fall and spring show, as does the Richfield show so you'll have another chance later this year (2008).

I'll tell you what, since you went to all the trouble of getting up, going to the bank and traveling to the show (on the wrong day from a two year old post I made).....I'll give you free shipping and insurance on any order you place with us for the next 7 days.

Fair enough?
