REUNION AWARDS!

Bruce Blackway, owner of GASSER Models and and a new advertiser in the club magazine, has cheerfully donated some of his 1:18 scale resin GASSER models for awards.  In addition to his '40 in the 'garage' case, he's also donating an Anglia, Henry J and a '49 Chevy.  All the models will be on display in the club booth until they are awarded.

The above model will be presented to BEST GASSER in the car show.    See ya there!

GASSER CHAMPION TROPHY!

ANYONE can call a trophy shop and purchase a nice, but run-of-the-mill trophy.  Thanks to Ken McIntyre's original GASSER REUNION trophy creations using car parts, our trophies are WAY beyond anything you can buy over the counter.  That artistic tradition continues in 2012.

Do you know Don Moyer?  Besides being one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, he pilots his REBEL REAPER '41 Willys to record setting wheelstand heights.   At the 2011 Reunion, Don blew up his REBEL REAPER's rear end while doing a giant wheelie. 

After the race, Don volunteered to create this year's GASSER CHAMPION trophy.  Where his vision would take him was anyone's guess.  All I told him was, "Go for it."  He did, and with excellence.

Sad as his broken rear end wheelie was for him, his destroyed parts live once again in the kinetic sculpture pieces of this year's 'exploding' CHAMPIONSHIP trophy. 

The trophy will be on display in the club booth until one of you win it!  

Thanks Don.  You blew me away with your artistic creation.
