The Ninth Annual HAMS Model Car Show & Contest was held on August 1, 2015, in Spring, Texas. Fourty-four modelers entered 163 models in 21 categories. The quantity & quality in some categories was so good that three (Foreign & Exotic, Heavy Truck, and Small Scale) were split, so that we now awarded 24 sets of trophies instead of just 21. Thank you to all who attended, and a special thanks to our vendors and to our sponsors.
