Wow, what a race we all had going! 3 members Monte's were out ahead of the pack leading up to some tense moments. With Turbo Monte and Leprechaun93 edging away from the group, it would be one of them winning without a miracle come from behind win from one of the other Monte's. Just when Leprechaun93 seemed to be taking the winning lead Turbo Monte came on strong coming up alongside Leprechaun93 nose to nose out of turn number 3 putting us into a "Sudden Death" situation. As the one day tie breaker voting time expired, both were still nose to nose going into turn number 4 adding yet another day of voting to this tense race. Then the magic happened, John's time to shine was now or never, he pushed Turbo Monte harder than he ever had before, the Turbocharged engine screamed with all it had and with a fenders lead dashed across the finish line for the checkered flag, winning a hotly contested race. Super job John, very nice win. Congratulations!!

Leprechaun93's submitted picture is in and of itself, an extremely nice photo of a group of many members Monte's. I hope there is a contest in the future where it we may find Keane using it yet again, it would look fitting in the permanent "Contest winning " photo thread. The photo is simply quite stunning and a winner in it's own rights. Congrats Keane on being a final participant in the first ever double Sudden Death tie breaker.

This contest would have not been possible without all the wonderful support from our fellow MCF members. All of you here who either voted or submitted photo's, we all appreciate very much your help! You definitely kept this particular contest interesting. THANK YOU!!!

Turbo Monte as our winner, his reward as with all the winners is to come up with the new contest theme. This contest will be called "Animals". John wants you to be able to show case your pet, best buddy and valued animal family member with your other family favorite, your Monte Carlo. What do you have to put up? A parakeet sitting on your rear view mirror, a gold fish swimming in your cup holder? A canine, a feline? Lets see who loves you unconditionally, lets put them in the spot light, show em some love!!

All photo's will be submitted to this thread, winter time rules apply (waived 3 month old) requirement. Midnight Sat. the 30th of Jan. is the deadline for submissions. And your Monte must be in the photo.
