Not a whole lot I can add to Ken's coverage. He always does a fantastic job of bringing the feel of an event to everyone who isn't able to attend. to you Sir.

Here'a a few more shots I was able to grab between rounds of chat with so many good people.

The trip on Friday was thankfully uneventful, UNLIKE what the Eastern guys had to deal with. Very happy no one had any serious issues, other than frazzled nerves.



Got to Rosemont, pulled through the Staging lot and right into the building,.......... only to run into some crazy lady trying to fly.



Things started filling up fairly quick and the floor plan started coming together.





After some serious weather delays, the SCW bunch finally started rolling in. Glad everyone made it there safe.
Fran Roberts' fresh L-78 car.



Joe's Dana Nova.



And the "White Cars" finally met.





Then it's clean-up time.



Later in the evening, time to unwind a little and relax with friends,



grab something to eat,



and get cozy.

The Nova display was absolutely outstanding. Congrats Brian on putting together an amazing display. Glad I wasn't part of the voting, I'd never be able to pick a favorite. My wife however fell in love with Rick Thayer's Nova. Couldn't believe how much time she spent by the car..
