Carrera Panamericana Contest

Deadline for entries: August 31, 2011
Send entries to: ksonline@yahoo.com

One of the most grueling road races ever held, the Carrera Panamericana has become
a legend in the annals of motor racing history. The great Mexican Road Race, 
which included many different types and models of racing vehicles, provides
a good source of inspiration for model builders.

While there are many kits available to build specific Carrera cars, Scale Designs has
announced new decal sheets that will be available soon to help you build several
Carrera models, some of which are shown here.

Here are the rules:

Models must represent a car entered in one of the five original La Carrera races
from 1950 through 1954. No phantoms or mystery cars. Multiple entries are OK.
Anything from scratch-builts through upgraded die-casts are allowed, as long as
you put some work into making the model as accurate as possible.

Voting will take place on the Yahoo Groups site.

First prize will be a kit and decals to build a Carrera car. Details will be announced soon.

Buena Suerte Amigos!
