On April 28, 2012, the TCA, as a mid-month activity, participated in the annual Chevy Showdown which was held at Catalina Foothills High School and sponsored by the Classic Chevy Club of Tucson. It was a great event and several TCA members helped with judging and parking. There were a little more then 100 cars including 9 Corvairs belonging to Ron Bloom, Van Pershing, Ken & Heidi Farr, Jim Mills, Charlie & Sandy Evans, John & Amy Young, Wes Reynolds, Joe Hiller and Frank Pella.

This year John Young placed First, again, in the Corvair class with his '66 140 Monza. Second place was won by Frank Pella and Joe Hiller a took home the 3rd place trophy. Charlie Evans' V8 Monza won the Best Daily Driver trophy. It was a great day if your car was BLUE!!! Ron Bloom and Jim Mills both received Certificates of Merit.

Jim's and Terry Mills hosted a barbeque at their home following at the show.
