SCR7 thank you
 

I would like to thank everyone who had a hand in helping the sYc make Supercar history. Rather showing/racing a car, helping with show duties, lending a hand to fellow drivers, whatever, WE did it. All previous records have been broken. Thursday's "meet and greet" was by far the largest gathering, in both cars and people. Friday at the track we had 45 or so cars racing, with several more on display, and nice a turnout of fans to cheer us all on. Saturday evening the banquet room was filled with over 200 folks enjoying the fine meal and the outstanding speakers. And Saturday, what can I say? Over 70 cars on display indoors with the Gateway Camaro club's outside cruise-in drawing about the same number of cars.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif to everyone. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Was a GREAT weekend... We're still on our way home, but already looking forward to next year... Was great to finally have a car of my own there after attending every year without one. Nice to meet so many new people and finally NO RAIN for the drags on friday. I'd definitely rate it as the best SCR yet. Thanks Tom and Rob for putting together a super Show. -Joe Barr

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

It really was something special again this year!
If there was anything better then the cars themselves,it was all the People around them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
As one of the race spectators,I'd like to give a HUGE Thank You to BKH-Joe Swezey-Camarojoe-Supercarkid & Rob Clary,among others,for organizing and scrambling to get Frank (Hvychev) a new working water pump installed (And painted https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif ) in record time,on his Deuce in time to make the Drag race Match happen.
I wouldn't object to a 3 day long Reunion in the Future... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

I want to give a big "thank you" to the Clary family for opening SCR7 to everyone that wanted to bring their cars to the track Friday. I could only stay for the one day, but next year I'll make plans to be there for the whole program. It was great. Thanks........ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

What a great time it gets bigger and better every year. Thanks to Clary's for putting it all together. What a great group of people without them and their cars this couldn't of happened.. I met a lot of people this year I have never met before and really enjoyed it.
The best part was watching everybody race weather you turn 17's or 11's it didn't matter it was just to cool to see the cars doing what they were built to do. Thanks again see you next year.

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

I had fun myself so I have to give a big thanks for this eventto Tom and Rob, and all the rest of the crew that were involved in putting it on.

Dee has never been to anything like this so it was a real learning experience and she loved it. I had never shown a car at a event like this and just wish it had lasted one more day. I could have talked and met more people for at least one more day. Ed (55chev) stayed up till 3am doing just that. How many beers was that ED??


I am so excited that someone had the one thing that I was needing to go back on the white Motion car of mine, and that was a pair of the original Motion valvecovers with emblems. Now next year it will look like it did way back when it was new.

Charlie Lillard wants me to leave the paint just the way it is and just get it running with the LS-7 motor again, but I want to see it looking like new all over too. Sorry Charlie !!!. I know he had fun because he had a smile on his face everytime I saw him.


Getting to meet Franks dad, Frank sr. almost made me cry. You don't know how neat it is when I get to see a father & son enjoy something like that together. I was only 15 for a month when my father died. So big Frank, you make me proud to see you with your boy and having such a great time. I realize that there were more there also and please don't let me leave you out of the list.

To those that missed the show. Tisk Tisk!!! You just don't kow what you missed.


Wait till you see some of the pic' and you will be sorry.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I can't remember... but I had fun https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif I even hung out with some of the local Camaro club guys before calling it a night.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif I would second a 3 day event for SCR8.. It just keeps getting better every year.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

To all that had a hand in the show one word "stupendous" it just gets better and better. Thanx to the whole gang! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

We arrived home safe and sound. What a great event. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to all the people that help set this show apart from all the others. There were so many neat moments that they would be hard to list. Nick Morroco and his family getting into his old Chevelle with new owner and few friend Chris Short. The Thursday night kickoff party was IMO the best one ever. More cars and people than ever before. The Thursday Nighter is starting to become legendary. Meeting people from all points of the globe, jetting into Collinsville is just amazing. Once again Tom, Rob, Mo and their crew did a great job with an event which has no equal and will only continue to get better. New ideas will be kicked around and next year will be even better. The dinner and speakers were great Friday. I just want to say once again thanks to this special group of owners and enthusiasts. It really is like a family reunion. I heard many people tell me that their special cars will be done for next year and they cannot wait. SCR8 will no doubt be fantastic as well...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

What a fun weekend. Thank you Tom, Mo, and the boys and all the other organizers. Just got home, its raining here, glad it was not at the track, as my "rent a racer" needed some action. This was the best event so far, and thank you Matt for that special ride! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Just got the 2 trucks and 2 trailers home with the cars "SAFE & Sound" about 2 hours ago. AGAIN, it was Great to see ALL the cars and Friends, made a New Friend all the way from Sweden!! The Best was being there with "MY SON" and to see him Race down the track and had a 509 light with the SS Truck. When he raced the NOVA and at the end of the truck when we saw the Cloud of smoke I almost had a "heart attack", nothing turned out to be wrong so it maybe was just carbon?? Oh yea really lucked out by having my "Friend" Sheriff Officer when I got stopped going 85 mph on the way to the Drag Strip and only got a Friendly Warning!! Great time and Great NOVA turn out and ALL the Nova guys were really friendly and I think they have accepted me into their group. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif THANK-YOU All.

I really do think that we can call the Thursday night meet and greet an official day of the show.

When Tom and I pulled into the parking lot I told him then that this was going to be the best show ever. bkhpah and crew had things well in hand for the 1st night of the show.
There was already a very impressive display of cars lining both sides of the parking lot. And lots of happy smiling faces.

Then day 2...and wow what can you say. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif We had burnouts that could satisify even the biggest dragrace junky. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif Mix that with 110 octane fuel, big blocks on poly-glass tires, small blocks without rev limiters, friends helping friends and new faces taking some very beautiful cars down the track and it doesn't get much better than that.

And last but not least day 3. The best and easiest move in we have had so far. I don't know the head count of people in the convention center for saturday but I know it was a record. With special guests and car owners answering questions all day long it was great. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

I personally want to say that any time I needed help with anything there was always someone willing to help or offer thanks for the things being done. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

I think I will wait until Tuesday to ask Tom what we need to do for SCR8 I need some rest. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I'll second that Mark!...I'd bet that was the biggest gathering of Deuces in one place ever, including dealer lots in 1970! Truly an amazing experience, and one I was glad to be a part of! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

I am sitting here in Chicago thinking of what I experienced this weekend, WOW ! The cars were faboulus, but you guys were even better ! I want to say thank`s all of you, and especially to Mark and his guys for taking good care of me.

Today I`ll meet Tom Migut, a Nickey employe in 66-67. He said I might get to see another COPO this evening. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Take care all of you,
and I hope to be there next year.

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

I want to say THANKS to TOM ROB and MO and everybody that helped on this years Reunion. I had a great time as always. I wished I hadn't broke the driveshaft in the Damm trailer. I do want to thank everybody that helped push. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Kim

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

7000 RPM in the trailer??

I would like to say to all it was nice to be able to fly in and meet everyone as well. Nothing but the best of the best in folks and cars. WEll worth the time to come and enjoy the event.

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

How many cars were there? What happened with the Yenko Camaro with 200+ miles and the 68 Hemi Barracuda with 100+ miles that was supposed to be there? I haven't saw any mention of them.
James

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Thanks to the Clary's! A good time was had by all. Really was encouraged to see so many people enjoying the track! I always feel at home there. Enjoyed meeting a lot of ya. Sorry I did not get a chance to see everyone. Guess I'll have to go to SCR8 to see the rest of ya!

I really enjoyed talking briefly with you,& watching you Run.
You make it look so easy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

That was the Only Disappointing part of the Reunion.We were all asking eachother that same question.Where was Fasttoys1?
I guess it was all Hot Air. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Just dropping in for a second. We got an email from him early Thursday...I'm not gonna go into specifics, but he had a family emergency. He was still gonna try and make it, but was tending to his priorities...

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Hope everything is ok...Gives us something to look forward to for SCR8! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I was thinking something may have come up like that. We almost didn't make it as my mother had a stroke one week before the Reunion. We did not get there until Friday afternoon, but boy am I ever glad we came! Bill and I had a GREAT time! It was well worth the 12 hour drive https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif and every penny we spent!

THANK YOU so much Tom, Rob and all of you guys who helped them make this such an AWESOME event! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif After helping my husband run a GTO show for 11 years, I know how much work it is to put on something like this! I have attended many events over the years with hundreds (and even thousands) of cars, so this was one of the smaller events that I have been to, but it was, without a doubt, the BEST! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif (just goes to show, size does NOT matter! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif)

It was GREAT getting to meet so many of you guys (and Annie too!) I was blown away by how nice everyone was, and I can't thank you enough for making Bill feel welcome at a Chevy event!

Rita https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

BTW...The first time I saw all the "Supercars" was when they were lined up to get into the Gateway Center Friday. I am trying to put into words how I felt, but about all I can come up with is that I probably could have done one of those "Herbal Essence" commercials, LOL! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

"Herbal Essence" commercial huh? That I'd like too see (hear). https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Firstly, I'd like to thank all of our members and sponsors! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Without them, NONE of this would have been possible...yeah, that's a cliche, but it's the TRUTH! You guys all continue to out-do yourselves every year, and it shows! From Imagine hauling cars & helping with the goody bags, to Berger for the CHP handouts & banner, MK Insurance for helping some of the owners at the show out on their insurance, to all the members pitching in at the drop of a hat...and so much more.

I've also gotta thank the gang from Alton that helped with the work load...Mo, Johnny, Kevin, Jared, Jon, Travis, & Otis. Dad and I owe you guys BIG TIME. From helping load/unload our cars (& others!), to working at the track, working at the Gateway Center, and lots of other chores that get unnoticed.

Also those members who pitched in at the show...BKH & the SCW gang helping get the cars in their places, Biele and Andrew for getting everyone lined out at the registration booth Friday night, Andrew for working the mic at Gateway, Jeff and Annie for taking over 1,000 pictures of the event, all of you behind the scenes guys, the Gateway Camaro Club for throwing a pretty sweet little show of their own, our guest speakers Bob McClurg, Ed Hedrick, and Warren Dernoshek, all the folks at GIR, and the list goes on and on and on.

I'm sure there are some folks I'm forgetting, it's totally unintentional and I apologize...but thanks again to EVERYONE for their help in making this THE biggest/best Supercar show on the PLANET!

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Oh yea really lucked out by having my "Friend" Sheriff Officer when I got stopped going 85 mph on the way to the Drag Strip and only got a Friendly Warning!!

I heard from the grapevine, it was ficticious front plate, no seat belt(s), as well as doing 85 mph. Man, I wish I had friends like that, where can I find some?

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Lets just say next year's "special guest" will be a member of the Collinsville PD. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Ref the above quote. Mark your son cut a 5.09 light, that had to be the best light of the day. For a 23 year old NHRA Sports Compact driver, driving a SS Silverado, that's awesome!!! Know of anyone cutting a better light?

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

What will the topic be, "How to get out of speeding tickets"???

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

I cut a .008 light durring the 2nd round race with Marlin. See attached time slip.

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

If I recall you were in the LEFT LANE with a .142 light, taking a nap!! LOL, just kidding. GREAT JOB!!!!!!

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

I have to agree with everyone else !! AWESOME EVENT !!

I was quite humbled having my Biscayne there in the presence of all of those killer SuperCars. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Thanks for letting me "hang" with you guys for the weekend. It is definitely a *must-go-to* event for me from now on. It was really cool to see all the guys that ran their cars on Friday at the track. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif That's what these cars are all about, and we got to see some of the rarest iron on the planet making passes down the dragstrip. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Kudos to Rob and Tom and all of their "clan" that helped with the event. GREAT job guys !! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

You have a Great Piece of Chevrolet Iron there Casey.It was fun to watch you race it,and very Pleasant to meet your wife right there at the track as well.She seemed to be as enthusiastic about it,as any of us! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

I could type a book, but would only repeat the words of others, so, in short = awesome show https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

It was pleasure to meet so many nice people; Bill & Rita, Frank Sr & Jr, Anders from Sweden, Ed Gilpin, Dave Thorson, Alen Colvin and his wife, Steve, Jeff, Annie... the list goes on and on. It's always great to see those friends from prior reunions or pure stock events, another long list.

Can't wait for SCR8 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: SCR7 thank you
 

Jeff Murphy (GarnetM20) and COPO Anders put on a few mile to get there...great to meet them both... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...arleySucks.gif
