Monterey Historics 2009
Photo Gallery
by Scott Truesdell
I recently had lunch with Scott Truesdell and Dale King, and we got to talking about the Monterey Historics. Scott passed along the link to his website, which has some great photos of vintage racers and factory treasures from Laguna Seca.
When I looked through this collection, the photo above caught my eye and gave me a smile. Fortunately, the driver was not injured, but the priceless TestaRossa was. Any suggestions for a caption? Submit yours as a Reply/Comment to this post, below.
Below are links to photo galleries for recent model shows and contests. Many thanks to our own Kaz Shibuya for his great coverage of Ferrari Expo and GSL XXII. Make sure you follow his link to Stephen Miller’s site for more information about his amazing Porsche Carrera GT1.

We were fortunate to have Henry Trent bring his latest models to NNL West 2009. He showed two impressive Group 5 Capris, his Champion Audi R10 concept car, and his first GT40. Here are some of Henry’s models as seen at NNL West.
Henry also gave a presentation on kit-bashing sports cars. NNL West has always been a hot rod show, and hot rods are often kit-bashed. So there was a lot of interest in Henry’s sports car kit-bashing and scratch-building techniques.
Henry Trent is President of the Atlanta Model Car Enthusiasts club. ACME runs the Southern NNL, which is a major event on the model car show calendar. Many sports and racing cars are on display each year. This year’s show is on November 14. Check the ACME-IPMS Website for more details. Also see the ACME Fotki Site for club images.
GPMA Award Winner – NNL West 2009
Lola Mk4A by Patrick Galleguillos
This car was part of a display of four formula cars, and it is distinctive in its simple, straightforward design. The model is not built from a kit, but rather the result of transforming a toy car into a scale model.
It was great to meet Patrick this year and present the GPMA award to him.
