Default Re: My (Bob Ashton) MCACN Thank You's (Very Long!)

Bob and Vicki,
Not enough can be said about the tireless efforts you have not only put into the previous VetteFest shows and now the MCACN show. The show was great, the cars were the best of the best, the celebs could not have gotten any better and the atmosphere was alive with electricity. The people that came forth with the financial backing and expertise made a very wise decision to hire you both on and continue with what you do best and I feel the show will grow leaps and bounds. Pity to the old VetteFest, their loss!

I heard nothing but great things all weekend long about not only the quality of cars but also the excitement of having all the other makes present. I, who am a diehard Chevy fan thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the other makes there and have a new found respect for those cars.

Just like the Supercar Reunion, this was a reunion of sorts were we no only get to see old friends but make new ones. My customer Mark P and his lovely wife Kim drove all the way from Virginia to see the show and view their car in its present state of restoration. They quickly found that we are all one big family and within minutes joined our group of friends and were treated like they had always been part of that group. That is what these shows are all about.

Thanks to all the owners, backers, sponsors and car owners who made the show possible. What a great time! Lets do it again next year.

In closing, only one thing can be said about Bob and Vicki who said goodbye LATE Sunday evening (somewhere around midnight) and passed me as I was waiting to load the last cars out of the areana (3:30 a.m.)! Bob and Vicki were completely wiped out and Bob could barely focus he was so tired. So much that I was concerned about him driving to the hotel. They asked how I was doing and I commented that I was doing great other than starving as I had not eaten since noon. About 1/2 hour later Bob and Vicki came back to the loading dock door with a complete and large meal for me!!! You cannot imagine not only my surprise but graditude. They had WAY more important things to do than to worry about then me. That my friends is what these two are all about. GREAT people and I thank you for all of it!!!
