“Chicago” Slot Car Show

[WB2]

Anyone have information on the show in northwest Indiana this weekend?

[zilger]

It's at the Lincoln Center on Lincoln (Ave?) in Highland, Indiana. Take Indianapolis Blvd south from I-94.

Doors open at 10:00 CST unless you want to pay extra to go in early.

This has been a great show with many vendors.

Boy what memories. Used to go when it was in Matteson. We used get the rooms with all the other vendors and had a ball going room to room on the night before the show buying it up lol. What a sight it was seeing almost a whole hallway of rooms open with toys all over the beds.

Great memories Harry! Sure was a fun venue for a slot car show, food, drinks and show space all in one location.

I wasn't planning on going, haven't gone since they where in Matteson way back when. Out of curosity I wanted to see where Highland IN was, and I noticed the show was within two miles of a brewery I like, Byway. They have a awesome Poutine along with good beers. My wife was going out with her mom and sisters so I decided to take a ride. Got some good deals. The Airfix kit was $5, and the two loose bodies were two for $5.

Nice haul, but where's the pic of the poutine and beer?

Looks like it was worth the trip
Also some fine bodies you picked up.
Thanks for posting your fines

Show was good, it seems like a few more tables than usual. Lots of options in all scales which is great to see, but I knid of wish they would make certain aisles HO, 1/32, would make it a little easier to navigate personally. I did score a bunch of bodies with good glass, and a few wish list items I have been wanting. Love being able to haggle a little and also not have to pay for shipping.

One of my finds at the show.
HO scale Red Lobster March by Michael Smith of Kansas City.
I have a number of his cars; nice work.

Looks like a Cuda body?

Oh my Mr. Urbas...nice picks!

Looks like a Cuda body?

Yes it is.

Some of my haul. I had a few Testa Rossa and the Jaguar bodies. Time to start working on chassis designs and hopefully a new aircompressor for Christmas.
