Dear mom and dad. Having fun and meeting a lot of nice folks, please send money. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Friday night ran into several members, including Belair and sixtiesmuscle. Belair was carrying around 2-3 gold spinner awards, which he said he won, but I am inclined to believe he got them at a flea market. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Thanks to Belair, did get to sample some Chicago style pizza. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

The sYc club display is drawing a lot attention again this year. Out in front is Sandlin's '57, being showcased on one of mrrec's turntables. Next is mr70's dealer sign display, really neat. All this is followed by two rows of supercars. Several of the cars were judged yesterday and it will be interesting to see how they do. Rumor has it, one scored a 999(not mine). https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

The shooting of the video was fun. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Over all a another nice event, and a big thank goes out to Al @ Mid America for his hospitality. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

Just talked to Tom for a min. congrats to all of the SYC members who won gold spinners. And now the SYC group has a top gun.

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

You mean we have taken Top Gun 2 years running.Frank and Caleb Arone took it last fall with their 69 Lemans blue COPO Camaro. And congradulations to this years Top Gun winner, Rich Gregory and his X-66 Daytona yellow camaro. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

Sandlin's '57 'Vert got the Modified Chevy "Top Gun" award, and Rich Gregory got the Stock Chevy "Top Gun" award...our '69 Yenko Nova as well as Frank Arone's '69 COPO Camaro both got Gold Spinners. Dad said he gave away LOTS of SCR8 fliers!

(Sorry if I left anyone out, I just got to holler at dad for a second on the cell.)

This pic was taken from our room yesterday in the Hyatt hotel that's attached/adjacent to the McCormick Place exhibit hall...just to give an idea where the show is located in Chicago.

There were several other sYc members and their beautiful cars scattered about the exhibit hall. This is all the pics I got before my camera battery gave it up.

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

There were a bunch of cars there that I wanted to see. Overall it was a good show, it was hard to top last year with the turnout of supercars that showed up for that event. I watched some of the filming on Saturday, should be a good production. The sYc display was great.

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif to all who were there and congrats to those who won awards.What a showing of the sYc! Wish I could have made the trip this year..


Steve https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

Had an excellent time at this show. Hope everyone made it home safely! We still have 2 guys on the road headed west. Let's wish them continued safety on their trek. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

I am working on two hours sleep, so bear with me, but here goes.

First of all, my apoligys to Rich for his car not getting parked in the sYc area. A really well done car, which is evident by the fact that Rich took home one of the coveted Top Gun awards, along with Steve Sandlin. This makes 3 for the sYc in 2 years, Rich & Steve, 2004, and Frank A. 2003.
2005 ????

Here is how I think it went.

Yenko Sportscar Club, special club participation award
Tom C.- '69 Yenko Nova, Gold Spinner
John P.-'69 Douglass/Yenko Camaro, Gold Spinner
Glen Hanson-'69 COPO Camaro, not-judged (GS quality)
Frank M.-'70 Yenko Nova, Blue/Gold Bow Tie Boulevard
Rich G.- '69 Yenko Camaro, Top Gun & Gold Spinner
Chad B.-'69 Yenko Chevelle, not-judged (GS quality)
Steve Sandlin, '68 Chevelle, DH conversion, not judged
Steve Sandlin- 2004 HRSS, Blue/Gold Bow Tie Boulevard
Steve Sandlin- 1957 Belair conver., Top Gun & Gold Spinner
Frank M., SR- '01 Camaro, Blue/Gold Bow Tie Boulevard
Frank and Caleb A.- '69 COPO Camaro, Gold Spinner(999 pts.)

Now to the women folk.

Ginny Hasset, 1994(?) Camaro, Blue/Gold Bow Tie Boulevard
Helen & Nancy Gibb, '02 ZL-1 Camaro, Blue/Gold Bow Tie Boulevard

And, I know there were a few other folks who hang out here who had cars there. Hopefully they will let us know how they did.

Special thanks to Rick (Mr70) for the dealership display and Dave (mrrec) for the turntable. And to Kenny, Gus, Darren and the other fine folks who were there to lend a hand when needed.

Even though there were less supercars attending this year, the public, and the judges as well, were really impressed with the sYc display, especially the qaulity. And speaking of judges, top notch. I do not envy their job. The gentleman who judged my Nova was a former NCRS judge, who was very knowledgeable, and very courteous.

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

I had a chance to spend time with the guys Saturday and , although the number of cars was down, the Quality was as impressive as ever. Great Job again Fellows! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Here's a shot of our esteemed front man "On the Job" Saturday afternoon.

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

I know that Bob and Larry Adcock were there with their beautiful hugger orange '69 Z28, but I don't know if they had their car judged. It was an absolutely gorgeous Z, which doesn't surprise me knowing Bob & Larry. Congrats to both of you! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

I forgot to mention another valued member of the sYc team. That is Caleb Arone, our resident supercar artist, who, as always, amazed us all with his artist talent. I beleive Steve's "Incinerator" was among the cars immortalized in ink.

Re: Supercar showcase at Fall Vettefest
 

Indeed Caleb is the best! He did one of my Z. I ran home and framed it. Thanks Caleb. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif <--make that root beer. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif
