So many people to thank, and I'm sure I'll forgot someone, so forgive me! Firstly, all the folks who brought cars, memorabilia, or just an enthusiam for these old cars...without y'all, this could never happen! Also, all y'all that liked the nametags and dash placards, thank Dennis Cumby and his printing skills! And those of you who liked the parking job and layout of the cars inside the Gateway Center, then thank Bob Ashton and Johnny Kat for leaving the racing fun early to mark off the floor. And you folks who got another cool (and free!) "sYc" cap, once again thank Steve Sandlin...he also sent a few SWEET cars for our viewing pleasure! All of you who enjoyed Friday night's festivities, thank our special guest speakers Bob McClurg, Lynn Yenko, and Mel Bogus, as well as our talented & entertaining auctioneers, the Barr brothers! Thanks go out to the Mayor & First Lady for not only running the Deuce shootout, but the bracket race as well...and big Mo for his duties at the starting line! I'd also like to extend a personal *thanks* to Brian & Joe and the rest of the SCW gang...when dad hung out his neck to put together SCR1, Brian gave us his word that we'd not just be a lone Yenko Camaro sitting in a grass lot in the middle of Tennessee...from that Labor Day weekend almost 10 years ago, all that you saw this past weekend was spawned.

And as impressed as I was about the show itself, the part that probably touched me the most was the outpouring showed at the auction...not only by the bidders knowing that the proceeds were going to a good cause, but by the folks willing to help by donating items, some by folks that knew they couldn't make it!
