MassCar meetings are held at
150 Rustcraft Road, Dedham MA (click here
for a map on Mapquest)
Every third Wednesday of the month starting at 7:00PM, and every second Saturday
of the month starting at 1:00PM.
Every meeting is packed
with how to seminars, a “show and tell” segment that will spark ideas on
everything from new kits, or maybe an old forgotten kit, new tools and little
tips/tricks that will propel your imagination and personal skills. Our club
in-house contests are just for fun, but some great subjects will peak your
interest.
You will find “coming
to the meetings” will become your best tool in your model car tool box.
A builder may only place once with the same car per year. If you want to place again you need to bring a different entry!
