Re: The start of another great show
Just got back home from another great Supercar Reunion...What a fun weekend! Was nice to see old friends as always, but it was also great to see lots of new cars and new people too! I know i say it every year, but this show just keeps getting better and better. From Thursday's parking lot party to Friday's racing and wrenching, to the banquet and late night viewing of the supercars, followed by more parking lot party and of course the big show on Saturday, It couldn't have been a better weekend. I had a blast with my debut gig as "auctioneer", and want to personally thank all of you who bid, won, or at least didn't throw food at me.https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif It was my first try at something like that, and was totally taken by surprise when I was asked to give it a try. I know it wasn't without a couple mistakes on my part, but it was still a ton of fun. I was honored to be asked to help raise some money for such a great cause. To all the folks i met for the first time this weekend, cheers to you. I can't wait for next year and the 10th anniversary SCR, I've been to every one since #1, and each one seems to top the last. Thanks to the sYc and all its members. I Hope everyone had as nice of a weekend as I did! -JB

Re: The start of another great show
Joe,
You did a great job for your first time as auctioneer....I only wish we could have had Jim M. speak longer and tell us more interesting facts and stories. Dan. |

Re: The start of another great show
In Jim Madison's talk at the Banquet......he had a lot of interesting info about the COPO orders..........But.....he never once mentioned Fred Gibb.....
Who actually was the first to place a "Performance" COPO order.........Gibb or Yenko....... I know he was a Guest speaker and we appreciate his input..................But.....I think that the Gibb involvement should have part of the History lesson Just my $.02 Ken https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif |

Special thanks to Mr. Bob Ashton for shooting over to the Gateway Center and squaring off the floor and taping out all the car spots so the floorplan looked nice. He worked alongside Johnny Cat and myself for a couple hours to get it right....the show was layed out perfectly. Thanks Bob... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif I spent a ton of time hanging out by that Z-11 !!!! One thing we are going to do next year is ban cameras from Postsedan and Mr. Sensitive Darren. These guys have ill intentions with their pictures. Looked like Helen Gibb and crew had a good time as usual sitting next to their beautiful Nova too. All in all it was a blast again. The drag racing is getting bigger and better every year and as usual the SCW was there to lend a hand if anyone needed a wrench and a pair of hands or 3. Dinner was great...Camarojoe is an odd looking fellow but no one else wanted to volunteer to be the charity auctioneer. Haven't read all the posts yet but we raised a good chunk of change for a very worthwhile cause. Sixyiesmuscle stayed awake during the whole dinner....and we were sitting with some crazy woman that was later taken away in a straight jacket...not sure of her identity though !!!!!! Safe to say a GREAT time was had by all and we are already looking forward to the 10th anniversary next year !!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |

Re: The start of another great show
Wow! SCR9 - what a show! Saw some great cars as always, that yellow post sedan is awesome, and the Z-11 BelAir - what a great car with a great history! Hangin out with Hank and Verne was a good time too! It was great to see all the Chicago "gang", and everyone else too - SC69Sam, Hawaiian Camaro, LVCamaro - we missed you guys!!
Here are a couple more shots from the track - Bimbi and the boys checking out a cool 69 post sedan in the pits http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...seIIIclone.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...otionclone.jpg |

Re: The start of another great show
Dan,
This is Greg Cullum`s 300 Deluxe Postsedan Baldwin Motion Clone...look for it to be displayed at the next Chevy Vette Fest in Rosemont, IL. This car was duplicated using all the correct hard to find Baldwin Motion Phase III components....including Holley 950 / 3 barrel, Edlebrock 427 intake, phase III box, Steel 2 piece bell housing. Next year we will race it down the track at SCR10. Dan. |

Later on John and I went to the line together and I managed to get a 13.84 @105.79 on the Indy Profiles. Breaking into the 13's and not breaking the car was my goal for the day was my goal so I was happy. |
Re: The start of another great show
Just wanted to say thanks again to the Alton gang for all the hard work they put in 365 to make the SCRs the greatest show on earth.
This was my 9th reunion, and certainly one of the best. It's always nice seeing everyone having such a great time at the track and simply enjoying the Supercars we all love. Even after attending every single SCR since the start back in '98...every year seems like a new event, as it truly is the people, personalities, and shared stories that really do it for me. I always learn something new, meet someone new, and see at least a few cars that I've never seen before. The experience and excitement everyone shares always makes the trip worth it. Already looking forward to next year's 10th anniversary show, and if you missed the reunion this year, shame on you, but all the more reason to start making plans now to get there next year. One last thanks must go out to LVCamaro for providing EVERYONE in attendance with a great embroidered sYc hat even when he couldn't make the show himself. A nice gesture I wish I could have thanked you for in person Steve. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif |
Re: The start of another great show
Another fantastic show and was great to see everyone. My Nova ran an ET of 13.02 @ 108.5 mph. It should go mid 12's with a new driver. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
I did manage a 0.003 reation time and then promptly blew the 1-2 shift. Looking forward to SCR10. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif |
Re: The start of another great show
Hey I'm home finally! And I have an iinternet connection again.
Like it has been said already...it was great to see everyone again...and some for the first time. Thanks to everyone who put so much hard work into the event...I know what it's like to do someting like that! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif It was great seeing Ken and Paulette Tibor, Dan Vasic, Charley, Gags, Colin, Mike G., Stefano, Dennis Cumby and his gal, Rick Nelson, Annie, Eddie Martin and his wife, Darren, Verne, COPO Anders, Joe Swezey, my neighbor Bill Edel, Steve Shauger, Mark Hassett, Dave C and his cool LS6 Convertible (that he asked me to back into the convention center https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif), Helen Gibb and Nancy, Don Stowers, Ken Barnhart and his wife, John Platania, Tommie K, Schoyne....the "great" Bob Ashton and the list goes on and on... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif I had a major blast! Also, I'd like to thank the excellent auctioneer Joe Barr for his tremendous effort in the auction. Don't take this wrong Tom...but you're fired as auctioneer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif. Joe did a great job and the SCR gang raised over 3500 dollars for the Children's Heart Fund. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Hey Bob...nice to see and talk with you at the airport this morning. Pics coming up as soon as I can get them loaded into photobucket... |
