See you guys on Sunday, no car, just me and my son .
X2 on what Rich said, turning out to be a good show, and we sure need a car fix this time of year

Mike

I'll be out there on either Friday night or Saturday. I'm driving out from southeast Pa to drop of my engine/trans and other assorted goodies to Micky Hale so he can get them installed in my Nova that he painted so figured I'd stay and check out the show. I'll try to find you all and introduce myself.

I'll stop by and say Hi - Hopefully you will recognize me. ;)

I think I will, your a Bounty Hunter aren't you???

Rich

N.E.O.C.C Club display... Stop in and say hello :scholar:

BIG

Cleveland...

I'm going to bring the L89 car. We should have a very nice Chevelle display. This is an excellent show if you are looking for something to do this weekend besides drinking green beer.

Phil

Getting out in the cold...Brrrr!

BIG

Good luck to all my Ohio clan this weekend!!! :burnout::burnout::burnout:

Personally, I’m going to do what Phil suggested and have some green beer:biggthumpup::biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

Nice coverage Rich. This was a very good show. Something for everyone. Met some great folks and caught up with some old friends. Ready for Summer.

Spectator attendance on Sunday was just incredible given the enormous size of the IX center.

Saturday there was double the attendance. I thought most people would be out drinking green beer instead. That place was extremely busy Saturday from about 11 am until 9 pm.

Here's a few more...

BIG

The Camaro and Chevelle show case displays were excellent.

My Cousin's customized Kelvinator. :)

Loved that display and the Rod... That fridge was plugged in !?!? Saw them in and out of it all weekend!

BIG

Big, your car and display was awesome. Congrats again on your 1st place trophy!! Well deserved..

Rich

That's because of the Beer...:)

Your 68 displayed wonderfully BTW...

Ha! I knew it.. :wink:

Thank you, sorry I missed you. It got quite busy at times.

BIG

Thx! Wonder if the lil ISCA tip’s made any difference..lol. Win lose or draw it was an entertaining weekend.

BIG

It would be nice to have the MCACN Show at this IX facility due to the amount of room and enormous size of the building.. But it's location is not as convenient as Chicago for those traveling to the show from around the country..

Rich

When I moved from the Cleveland area 27 years ago the car culture was strong but I did not really appreciate how strong it was.

But seeing is believing-I mean at $20 dollars a head this show had shockingly high gate even at closing on Sunday.

You just do not see that kind of turn out at most shows these days.

Top award on Sunday was 10K...a very nice parting gift. Multiple awards (10 each ??) of $350, $500 & $750 as well.. I heard over 1000 cars trucks, boats and bikes making it the largest in the series. It’s got a large footprint.

BIG

A little history on the IX center known as the former Cleveland tank plant, they only use a portion of it for the car show, the place is BIG .

Many know that Mikey is "The Man" when it comes to restoring cars, but did you guys also know that he's a techno-geek too?:hmmm:. Here is a rarely seen shot of him teaching a young lad about these new fad-phones that are all the rage. Like asking a doctor at a party, "Hey doc... what's this thing here with fluid coming out? And why does it twitch on its own? ", it's not overly polite to ask him about this stuff in a social setting. But always the gentleman, he helps out us little people from time to time. Let's listen in....."See.... the reason you can't see the image is your screen rotation is off. Just pull your menu down from the top... double finger swipe...press this... and look here! See? That's why you can't see anything. Your screen rotation is off..............ya schmuck!":biggthumpup:

Dan

And second Mister "I restore any make as long as it's not a Chevrolet"...I miss my flip phone...:crazy:

Mikey

Dan
