Chevy Vettefest Championship Auto Shows Thanks You

[bashton]

WOW...where do I start! First off, I hope everyone had a safe and uneventful ride home and your "babies" are safely tucked away.

The Supercar Showcase was absolutely awesome and the collection of automobiles was second to none. A huge THANKS go out to Tom Clary and everyone who participated.

Tom Clary; it was a pleasure meeting you and what can I say; your Harrel 68 is stunning! Let's keep this going for many years to come. (and at our AutoRama and World of Wheels shows too!)

Dave M. (and son) Again, a real pleasure. Your collection of Z-16s was awe-inspiring and a fine addition to the show. Your hard work in making this display happen is much appreciated! I still can't believe it...THREE Z-16s; before, during and after restoration; whew!

Frank M., both Jr. and Sr. Two more fine gentleman with beautiful automobiles. Nice to see a Father and Son enjoying this great hobby together!

The Arone family; and speaking of Father and Son teams; what more can I say! Caleb, you looked great on TV and your car is unbelievable!

Alan B.; Thanks for the "tour" of your Z/28. It does indeed fit in with the other Supercars!

Bernard P. aka BBBenny; yet another fine Gentleman with a gorgeous automobile, a pleasure indeed! This car was one of my personal favorites.

Ann H.; your Gibb "Mystery" Nova is beyond words! A real piece of Musclecar history.

Tom K.; and speaking of Gibb Nova's...wow; your #44 is a stunner!

John O. Again, a real pleasure meeting you and your Bro. Congrats on the "Big Win"...it was indeed well deserved and be sure to tell Wayne B. he did a great job on that fuel line!

Rick T. Yep, another Gibb Nova and another beautiful car; THANKS for being a part of the show.

Darren B. Your Z/28 is beautiful in and out and I LOVE that color. Thanks for the great spec sheet...made my job easy when making the info sheet!

Mike G. words cannot describe how happy and proud I was to have the REAL Grumpy's Toy VIII Camaro at the show!

Tom T & Paul L.; I don't think I caught up with you in person,(did I?) but let me apologize for not having your info sheet at the beginning of the show. That is one gorgeous SS 396 and another fine addition to the show. Thanks Guys!

Helen Gibb; what an absolute sweetheart! You and your daughter are true inspirations to this hobby and I feel honored to have met both of you and to have your beautiful #50 Gibb Nova in the show. Thank you so much for sharing the story of locating your car too! How about a ride sometime?

I am sure there are many more well deserved THANKS. I got home around 3am after a day of paperwork and loading stuff at Mid America Promotions from our purchase and I am running on 3 1/2 hours of sleep. (I will sleep good tonight!). It was a great weekend and I look forward to a long and interesting future for the upcoming Chevy Vettefest shows. It is Guys and Ladies like all of you that make this happen and it is only going to get better....

I am sure I forgot someone, so THANKS to you too!
