mikedore 11-07-2008, 12:56 PM There has been some concern about swap attendance after the Cleveland and St. Louis shows.
As of this morning we have 45 dealers registered for Sundays show.
I can think of only 2 that did not register this time.
I will have a few tables available Saturday at the hotel or Sunday morning at the door
Mike
bearsox 11-08-2008, 10:06 PM Just a quick note for all you guys who have not attended the show at it's current location. The entrance is at the rear of the building and for the most part all the sellers will park at the back of the building as well. See ya there !
Dennis :wave:
brownie374 11-09-2008, 09:05 PM Great show spent too much again.Lots of venders and great deals!
ajd350 11-09-2008, 10:17 PM Agreed, Brownie. Spent too much, but man it was good to have the opportunities. Thanks to all the vendors for dragging out your stuff! See you in the spring. Al
A/FX Nut 11-10-2008, 07:25 AM Had a great time. Thanks to Tom S. for the free 65 GTO body. And Thanks to Jeff C. for the free '57 Chevy body. Thanks to John C. for the good trade.
Nice talking to '41 Willy's, Speedbuggy, and Honda 27.
I did quite well selling the stuff I had. Great to see the familiar faces and new ones too. I hope I can make it in the spring. Randy.
zilger 11-10-2008, 09:27 AM This was another great show. I really like this location.
Much thanks to Tom Stumph, not only for the free '65 GTO but also for the free bodies for the kids.
Slotters are great guys that have been very generous to my kids. They've come home with freebies from just about every show. My youngest also received a free JL Cobra slot car from a generous vendor. Jeff Clemence also gave us great deals as usual.
Big thanks to Mike Dore for putting on this show.
Already looking forward to the spring show.

speedbuggy 11-10-2008, 09:38 AM had a great time bout a few cars and it was nice talking to a/fx nut and a few others
bearsox 11-10-2008, 01:36 PM Hey guys ,
Its was great to see a lot of the hobbytalk guys at the show and put a face to the handles. Everyone from AFXnut to Brownie , TYHonda , gotmark , IMpaul , JVERB , Tom Strumph etc etc etc . For those who could not make it to the show or just thought they wouldn't miss anything ... well they missed Bob Beers , Tom Strumph , Slotcar Johnnies , Motorcity toyz , Norm Marciniak , Slotprospeedway , Parkland Hobbies , TKO routed tracks and ofcourse Road Rage HO just to name a few ! Folks were there selling all scales and everything from parts , tracks , cars , bodies , clothing and full sets. You could buy new stuff , old stuff and NOS stuff. Heck i even had occasion to hold an impromptu class on how to balance tjet armatures ! Toss all that in with some of the best show prices i have ever seen and yea more than a few folks missed out on a great show ! Hope to see many more for the next show as i for one am looking forward to another blast.
