160 entries, WOW...
A couple of cars I am anxious to see are Grumpy's '70 Prostock Camaro(owned by a sYc member)and Jungle Jim's Vega, which I believe is out of Big Daddy's museum. I know Larsen and Jacono are going to a nearby track on Sunday for a match race, would be wicked to see several more of these cars make an appearance.

Just got back... was a great show. Met some nice folks and saw some excellent cars. The sYc had a very strong showing, with many new cars that have not attended in the past. I took a bunch of pics for those who could not attend, some didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but I'll post 'em anyhow.
