Re: Club display at Fall Vettefest
YES, That car is AWESOME. I had the honors of taking that car to many of the local car shows and a photo shoot in Albany for the 2008 Camaro Calender. Everyone was just blown away by the Paint and Color. Frank Arone of Arone Autobody, Homer City Pa. lays down the finest paint that you will ever see. I have brought home for Kenny many Best of Shows and Best Paint awards. All i can say is "WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU!"

He had the T-shirts for sale....trust me... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif...https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
Actually Benny is a hell of a guy! I had a blast laughing with him and a lot of others all weekend! Hung out with all of the guys that "get it". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Mr. Ashton you did a hell of a job! I was one of the negative critics of Vette Fest a couple of years ago and I have got to say that you turned it around in a BIG way in record setting time! I have attended for the past 10 years in a row (8 showing a car and 2 spectating) and this has to be one of the best times. Thanks again. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif |
Re: Club display at Fall Vettefest
Talk about a great show. Chad and I literally decided late Friday afternoon to make the trip and were very glad we did. What a great time. This is the only time once a year and sometimes twice that many of the car guys and just as importantly the wives are together that I get to see and it made the trip well worth it. Someone asked me how the cars looked and I responded, "what cars?" This is all about the people!
Great job Bob Ashton! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Rick |

Re: Club display at Fall Vettefest
All right, well that was a GREAT show!
Vettefest he!!, they shoulda called it "CopoFest"!!! And I forgot my Camara... I did hook up with Bruce, spent a lot of time hanging with him as he introduced me to various people. Bruce, it was great meeting you and thanks for all the intros! Charlie, a privilege to meet you as well. One of the main reasons I went today was to find you and shake your hand, so you made my day. "THE" pace car is awesome in real metal and rubber. A genuine time machine, and one of one too boot. That ZL1 pictured above is beautiful as well. Both are original down to the paint, not 20k miles on them together. Stephano, it was great to see you again. The Nickey Chicago gang was out in force, with some 6 cars there, including a real 69 Nickey Camaro, an unrestored 63 Nova drag car, and the first Nickey "continuation" Chevelle. I've been told the world will soon see a bunch of NEW Nickey Chevelles and Camaros. Bruce introduced me to a man named Ken, and I spent quite a time talking cars with him and his wife. They'd DRIVEN 4 cars down from Kenosha, including 2 mid 60's Chevelles, both power tour veterans, an L78 Nova, and a slick blue 11 second shoebox Nova. Ken told me a story of how he got roped into buying a 17k mile perfect Camaro, that he didn't want because he'd be afraid to drive it! Ken gives true meaning to the term "enthusiast." And I met Helen Gibb. The Gibb's had a big display, including 2 of Helen's personal cars. They had set a table OUTSIDE the ropes full of old photo albums from back in the day, right there for anyone to page through and look at. Late in the afternoon, Helen had set her chair right by that table, seemingly just looking for passersby to stop and talk to her. So I did. Wow, I'd love to take her to dinner some day and have more time to pass with her. She has some serious good stories and wonderful experiences and loves to share them. It was funny, I asked her how it felt to be part of making history, and she looked me in the eye and said "young man, we had NO IDEA at that time. We were just living our life, going racing, and raising a family." Helen, thank you for sharing some time with me today. JimM |

Re: Club display at Fall Vettefest
I am home...finally!
I, too had the most wonderful time at Vettefest! It was well worth the trip! I visited with Dennis Cumby and Vicki, Tommie K. BBBenny (so sorry that I didn't realize that you were there for a while https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif) Helen and Nancy Gibb, Brian Henderson, Joe Swezey, Kenny Pascoe, Mark Hassett, Tom Clary, Stefano, Charley, Mike G., Rick Nelson, Chad, Kevin Hand (I finally met him...what a great guy!)John Platania, Dan Vasic, Darren, Bill Pritchard, "Big car" Mark, Frank and his Dad, Saw Colin briefly (does that guy ever slow down?)70 Forest Green Z, Jim from the Camaro site (glad that you finally were able to meet the guys and gals that make the Yenko site the best site on the net)and a few others that I've forgotten https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif But mostly I'd like to thank Ken and Paulette Tibor for their wonderful hospitality and their friendship. Paulette picked me up at the airport...and they both treated me "as one of their own." Finally, Bob Ashton... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif Bob treated me like a VIP (I had the "all access pass")and brought me a magazine that I've been searching for...for years! He wouldn't take a penny from me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif Thanks to ALL...I had an awesome time! Now, before I get really tired...I'll load a few more pics! |
Re: Club display at Fall Vettefest

I'm also tired...it's bedtime now! |
Re: Club display at Fall Vettefest
We all thought it was going to be a real mess getting out of the Convention hall....The doors opened at 6:00 and we waited for about 5 minutes and drove the cars right out...had the car loaded in the Trailer and I was on the Highway and 6:25.........
From my own Personal point of view, I think this location is much better than McCormack Place.....Next year I'm sure getting into the Hall will be a little better, but from my perspective it was still a lot easier than getting into McCormack Place was last Spring.......Way to go Mr. Ashton https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Again, to all that were there, it was a "Pleasure" to meet everyone https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif Ken https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif |
Re: Club display at Fall Vettefest
