The Supercar Registry - 2nd Annual MCRD open house

Finally got a little time to sit down and post some photos. I must apoligize as I did not take very many pictures as we were running most of the weekend. The weather on Saturday sucked but many people showed up anyways though the car count was down understandably. Thank you Dennis/Bob/Nancy for adding to the excitement of the weekend with the delivery of Bob and Nancy's Gibb Camaro. Also to Nancy and Helen for coming as I know Helen is not feeling the best these days and for bringing your Gibb Camaro as well.

Bob with a smile that could be seen in the next county upon seeing his completed car for the first time.

Bob and Nancy taking their first test drive in their new car. Needless to say, they gave several 'test rides' throughout the morning. Also needless to say, Bob was NOT afraid to stretch is new rides legs and what an awesome sound this car made. In this shot I am telling Bob to uncork the headers as I am personal friends with the Police Chief and he was not around that day anyway! Besides, he also owns a Camaro and is a gearhead himself.

Here is Annie taking her shot at starting this 1000 horsepower digger for our little cackle fest. Thank you very much to Galye Jenkins and crew for this opportunity. You made her day! I did not realize how much pain Annie was in at this time as I was unaware that she was suffering a migraine headache, vomiting and an abscess all at the same time. She did not let on how bad she was feeling yet was not about to pass on a chance to start this dragster.

Just a moment of some 'idleing' of the engine while warming it up. Gayle even let her mash the peddle a couple of times.

This is just part of our Sunday Hot Rod Power Tour group. Thanks to all who stopped by for refreshments including the Jackass and crew as well as Bob and Vicki Ashton of the MCACN show and Dennis and Vicki Cumby all of which were a special treat and a great group of people!

Evelyn and Glenn Brandt stopped by as well. She is the 87 year old owner of Brandt Consolidated and was given the opportunity to start her car for the very first time after a sleepless 3 1/2 month full nut and bolt restoration so that we could get the car done for our open house. We only have a few minor things to complete but at least she could hear her little baby run again after almost 10 years. Her mom bought this car brand new in 1963 after her dad was hit by a train earlier that same year. It was very rewarding to see the smile and tears on her face.

Well that is about all I took unfortunately. I fail every time with the camera and never seem to take enough pictures. Our heartfelt THANK YOU again for everyone who came to both events and shared the weekend with us. One more time, the people make these events all worth while and the cars are only an excuse to get them together. Thanks especially again to Annie for all your help pulling this weekend off especially when in so much pain! What a great woman!
Rick and Annie
