Camaro's at Carlise

Is anyone attending Camaros at Carlise at the end of July? I will be there Judging the Legends class. I look forward to the event. I will be taking the Yenko Camaro.

I'll be there on Friday, 1st to the swap meet for parts then to the Camaro show. I hope to see some rare stuff, and your D-Yellow Yenko.

A '69 Cortez Silver/Blue Std. interior COPO Camaro will be at this show, I saw this past Sunday at Super Chevy-Maple Grove. The owner is curious about the judging criteria and methods at this show. (Super Chevy judged as normal.)

I look forward in seeing the COPO Camaro at Carlise, You may also want to be on the lookout for a Yellow Yenko clone car that shows up on the East coast shows. His attitude is much like the L/88 Yenko Chevelle guy. He will tell you that it is real and that his is worth more that yours, or that you have the "garden variety" Yenko and that his is the real car. Whatever... The car is clearly wrong with a build date at least one month earlier that any documented example.
Once again I hear a groan coming from the hardcore restoration crowd at a Super Chevy event. This has been the attitude at SC events for years. They are more concerned about what cars are wearing their sponsor's parts than correctness and quality of restoration. There has been a serious drop off in high end restoration cars at SC and most of the cars that do show up do not return. That has been my experience with that show over the years. Anyone see things different about that show?

Brian:
That is the absolute truth regarding the priorities of the SC event staff, if you don't have Trim Parts and Soft Seal all over your car then they turn away. It is quite ironic that at a Super CHEVY Show, you get snubbed for using NOS CHEVY parts on your restored car!! They should call the event the 'Roger Gustin Money Show'.

If I take my car there when I'm done the restoration, it will be to see friends and the occasional nice restored car. Not for knowledgeable judging. Probably the best car at the show was McNeish's '67 RS Z28, it is a nice car with a lot of options. The weather was good too!!

Boy, you guys hit the nail on the head concerning the Super Chevy events. These things have been on a downhill slide for several years. It's a shame we Chevy people don't have an big event like the Mopar Nationals that caters to all. Everybody seems welcome, from the hardcore restos to the racers and makes for a nice show. I think the magazine as well as the Super Chevy shows neglects the resto crowd probably due the sponsor/money thing. Also, the number of SCS events looks to be aimed at smaller regional events (more opportunity to sell SoftSeal, LOL). A few years ago I thought it was becoming a drag race but that's went to crap, too. I guess it gives the Gustin's a venue to run those damn jet cars and make a buck. One year at Indy we got droplets of JP4 fuel on our car... hard to clean off.
