TSRF at the Chicago IMHE Hobby Show
|
The TSRF booth was well attended, with TSRF's Veronika Durdova from the Czech Republic, visited here by Jim Russell of Racemasters Inc., importer of the Tomy-AFX line. |
TSRF's Philippe de Lespinay demonstrated the speed and handling of the TSRF cars over the 4' X 8' Carrera 2-lane track set for the show. Veronika took care of commercial contacts and orders during the show. Dealers and the public alike were impressed by the performance and simplicity of the product offered. The new TSRF Courage-Peugeot prototype was shown and driven on the track. Most of the current TSRF offerings were on display. The TSRF 1/32-scale chassis won the "Most Innovative Product" award from the show organizers, as well as "Best in Class" for the slot car category. Many cars and chassis were on display, as well as the new TSRF bodies. The TSRF32 "Speed-8" RTR went to destroy the track records on no less than 4 other display tracks at the show. The new 1/32-scale wheel inserts by BWA-Minispeed were also on display and should be available from the TSRF soon.
