Default LaHarpe!!!

Just got home from LaHarpe a few minutes ago. What a wild time! Those cars are truly amazing. Mrs Fred Gibb even got one today as well.

Hopefully Ann was able to make it as I know Dennis was there in spirit. I am sure she enjoyed seeing all his friends and cars again if she did make it.

Ann was there with the nova and the ZL-1. The nova didn't look the same as it did two years ago sitting in my garage?? The car is great!!! They had a nice tribute to Dennis. Everybody had a good time p.s. those cars are damn FAST. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] Kim

Kim, you forgot the part about the tire smoke almost completly blotting out the old dealership. When Denis Barker is around things get outof hand real quick. Enough rubber on that road that Mayor B should'nt have to blacktop it for a couple of years. Great fun in Laharpe. Schonye [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Geeez! I didn't realize what a crazy man old "Burnout Barker" was. I'm still coughing out chunks of burnt rubber. Then one of Matts guys toasted Belks tires for about 5 minutes. I think his odometer registered about 200 miles during the burnout, but the car only moved about 2 inches. Then it was wonderful to see Ann there with Dennis' cars, very special.

NOt to take away from everyone that was able to go to the delivery, but did anyone think about us guys that were to far away to make it. If ya did good you kindly post some pics please.

It was cloudy down here today and the weather man didn't have an explanation for it, I think all that tire burning was the cause.
