Re: SCR10, from the "pres"
 

Another note is that my brother Erik is the only one of the 8 who has been to all 10 reunions simply because he loves the hobby and the people associated with it... he hasn't had a car there(yet) but plans his life around making sure he gets to SCR every year. At 27, he's been coming to SCR's for over 1/3 of his lifetime! Pretty cool.

Another great part of the weekend was when about 10 of us headed to the go kart track on Sat night. Think Demo derby with track workers looking the other way.......

I was thinking the same thing. I guess that's what happens when you get old. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: SCR10, from the "pres"
 

We must have knocked Charley around too much go karting - I think he took a hard hit to the head? For the record, I didn't hit my head in that damn trailer - it was my back and boy did that smart. But at least I provided some comic relief for Charley and Cana who not only got to enjoy watching me sweat my https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif's off loading the cars but then watch me double over in pain as I was locking the trailer down https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Next year we need Gags back at the go kart event, it really wasn't fair for us to go counter-race and keep ramming Charley and Mike G. Hey, in my defense, I didn't think Cana took me seriously when I pointed to those two guys and said "go get 'em" LOL. Who knew that $35 slipped in the hand of a 18 year old go kart track "official" could buy so much track time and make them look the other way for all of it?? Certainly one of the highlights of the weekend.

One last note: I think we all learned a valuable lesson at the track on Friday- never let your resto guy insist on "concours correct" fasteners for your crank pulley https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif They tend to shear off after a couple of runs and then you have to drive by the smelting plant in St. Louis to get to Bob's Auto Parts to buy a drill bit, and easy-out, and then raid Pete's trailer for bolts and tools. It has been said here many times, but out of all the clubs I am in this group is the most down to earth, fun, and genuine group of true "car guys" you'd ever hope to find.

Oh crap, I must have hit my head too https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: SCR10, from the "pres"
 

One of the true highlights was Mel Bogus being reunited with his demo Yenko with owner Barry Coughlin...BKH

Re: SCR10, from the "pres"
 

Got a call from Mel this morning..he is still excited about SCR10, said to put he and his wife down for SCR11. The grin Mel had when he slide behind the wheel of his old demo car was priceless.

Brian, you did good putting this together. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: SCR10, from the "pres"
 

I think we all enjoyed his presentation at the banquet as well. You could feel the sincerity in every word he spoke. He was having a good time.

Re: SCR10, from the "pres"
 

To tell you the truth, I didn't think there was enough time to get it done. Brandon Barr has to get a good deal of credit for this one. He was the one that tracked down Mels son Bart who joined the board just weeks prior to the show. He PMed Bart to see if Mel was a relation, and bingo it was his Dad. I inturn PMed Bart just to talk to his Dad about his involvment with Yenko and about the gold demo Camaro. A few days later Mel called the shop. I was floored that he called. We talked for a good hour, and I asked him knowing the SCR was just a few weeks away if he would come. Being such short notice I figured maybe SCRXI would be a more logical goal. But to my surprise Mel was able to attend with Bart. Sooo, an emergency trip to Baltimore and rounding up another trailer/truck for SCRX was put into motion. With Mel there, we needed the gold demo. Barry agreed and he in turn also changed his plans and attended the SCR. I big thanks to Barry, and Fran Roberts for lending us the truck and of course Mel and Bart for making this reunion very special...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
