Saturday was much better. I had a great opportunity. Air ride let me take their '66 Chevelle in the Auto Cross. Having not done that before, I did a respectable 36.6 sec. That car was so much fun.

Was there more cars on Sat than Sun.? How was the swap meet on sat? Razor was VERY impressive in person, so was Notorious. Every time I found what I thought I found what was the ultimate detail I looked over six inches and found another. Pics can not do those cars justice

I would have to say there was alot more people sat then Sunday.
One of my buddies that had a swap space didnt do so well. It seems to me that the "swap meet" thing might be dying due to the internet. Even the swap at Chevy Vette fest seem to be dwindling.
But I did see a Chevelle SS for sale that got my attention.:unibrow:
The cars there were awesome. Ring Bros :bow:

Paul(chevy II Boy) and I were there sat. Got to watch alot of autocrossing and it looked liked everybody was really having fun. There were plenty of cars to look at. Had opportunity to see marty dad's beautiful 57 and chat with him for a bit . Also got a chance to talk to Mike Ring and look at ''razor'' and Mike showed us some the many mods that I didn't really seem to notice till he showed us.My hats off to the ring bros crew for building such a wonderful piece of rolling art.:hail:. Also managed to see a few old friends and pick up some event t-shirts with the kids car on it. Had a great time and the weather couldn't have any better. take care. Joe.:)

I was there on sat and i meet Marty and also checked out his dads 57 and i must say its a very nice ride. Teddy was next to him but i didnt introduce myself to him because there were alot of people starting to walk up since he started his car. All in all i was very impresed with the amount of cars and weather. Great show indeed. Will def have my car there next year. Jeff

Our 1968 Corvette made it's first public appearance there in the BFG display.
Set 3rd fastest time in the Autocross with barely 2 miles on the car prior to the event.
Did 33.9 sec. behind RSS 33.8 and DSE 33.1
Randy Johnson won the fastest participant award in the AX.
Fun time.
There were about 45 cars running in the AX Fri and Sat.
65 347

I was there with the cuda on sat, got a little hot on the way in and left a trail of antifreeze then on the way back to the hotel blew a power steering hose, decided it would be smart to head back on sun morning, got pulled over and the 3 cops that had nothing better to do than look through everything for about a half hour and then let me go with no ticket thank god. Then 10 mins after that I blew a left rear tire on the truck and I couldnt get the spare down it took me an hour of smashing and swearing but we made it home about 2 hours later than we were supposed to so instead of a 4hr ride it turned into 6. But the show was cool we parked in the pros pick and got alot of attention and met some cool ass people, I will be back next year. telly
