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.

I thought it appropriate on my "396"th post to comment on how much I Love seeing Tom's 396/375 nova
...This show gets better every year ....and the cars coming out of Brian's shop are truely works of art
...the Gold Yenko Camaro and Joe's Gold Dana Nova....
..."WOW"....just awesome
...Mark's Motion Camaro is a show in itself....
...and seeing an "original" Yenko Deuce ( I think that's spelled right )
....along with finally getting to meet up with Joe Barr and surprise him with a "Colonial" dealer emblem for his car
...seeing the 1970 Dickie Harrell car
...and meeting Helen Gibb and her daughter with the Blue Gibb Copo Nova....and then seeing the rest of the show...
...WOW....What a weekend ....
...thanks for everyone that brought there cars to make that such a great event
