If anyone bumps into Howie, tell him Carlise is a hour ahead of Missouri. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]


Howie called bright and early this morning (see above) and said he was having a good time, most of the time. Even though not there to be judged, one of the judges at Carlisle made a point to stop by the display and tell Howie that his car should be Red, but is now Purple. I guess he knows, afterall he is a judge. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

I just came back after vending since Thursday morning. A few more years and there will be no more vendors left. Bathrooms and showers were closed so the 4 showers in north field are suppose to service everyone... bs.

Howie was happy after he ate a few boxes of T-Kakes. Forgot all about the color of his car! There was some outstanding Z/28's to be judged by MacNeish and Company in the one bldg. especially a paint delete Hugger orange??? 1967 Z/28. What a car! The solid lifter display was real good again this year. Those Gibb novas and Joes 1969 harrell camaro are my favorites. K.Howie was sturring up trouble again with his antics. A great guy to be around. Always stirring the pot. Loved talking to Mike Angelo and Grady Burch also. Two more guys with plenty of knowledge. Spent some time with our own Verne Frantz in the vendors area listening to stories about Strickler/Jenkins and the 409 days. Another guy with a bunch of nostalgic info. A warm but good day. Worth the trip IMO.

Ken Lucas did an amazing job with the special paint code (orange) 67Z - all his work is top notch. Here are a few pictures of the car (prior to completion)

hitting the road in six hours. hopefully the solid lifter showroom will be worth the trip, not much for the vendor area or the car corral this trip. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Just arrived in after 10 hours driving. I loved the Solid Lifter showroom and also the building where the judging was taking place. There was not many vendors in my mind. New camaros sure out numbered first and second gen cars.Looks like the way a lot of shows are going.

I drove over on Satuday. Only an hour from Lancaster. Solid lifter showroom was great. Saw Jerry M. and Bob Harris - in the judging area. Lots of Zs this year. The Pace Car display tent was great too - 396/375 Track car - very cool.
