York 30 Show

[sYc]

Had a GREAT time at York. Thanks to Mo, who had the engine purring like a kitten (well, a loud kitten), Joe, who was brave enough to get into the car and help fire it, Brian, who put everything together, Mark, who had to move his car each time we fired the FC, all the other sYc members who were on hand to help with the car, and Shor, for his hospitality while dropping the car off in NJ. And, what topped the weekend off was when it was announced that the Supercar Registry won the "Best of Show" award. The York show is a must attend event and I hope to be back next year.
