Spring VetteFest

[bashton]

So many people to Thank, so tired right now and have to be at Cobo in Detroit first thing in the morning for Detroit Autorama.

I agree...the sYc members DO need to have some kind of "I.D." tag so I can put some faces with the names I know so well on this sight.

Just wish I could have more time to spend with all of you, what a great group of people. Awesome people, awesome cars and all kinds of great stories. This is what makes all the late nights, early mornings and long hours all worthwhile.

The Nickey Chicago display was incredible and looked to be the "Hot Spot" of the show all weekend.

Great to get to spend a few brief moments with Lynn Yenko and as always, a real pleasure (and honor) to chat with Helen.

We lost 61 cars due to the weather but as I said, there are ots of things I can control but weather isn't one of them!

As expected, the response from participants and spectators alike strongly favors the Rosemont facility, and we have committed to more floor space, so Rosemont here we come November 18-19, 2007.

Lots in store for the Fall '07 show, yes indeed.

Looking forward to having a chance to really sit and spend some quality time with many of you at SCR-X.

THANKS!!!

OK, message received. Maybe something we can do for SCR X that can be used at future shows? The wheels are turnin'.

Bob,
Hope you can come on down for the Thursday evening party. Kick back, have a couple of cool drinks and RELAX for a change. Also glad to hear about Fall plans at Rosemont again. Like I said before, a lot of us were skeptical of the move but I think most everyone prefers that venue now. We're makin' plans to come back in Nov/07 if you'll have us.

Congrats to all the Winners:

If you have not seen a SCW restoration up close and personal, then you are truely missing out.

I know that other sYc members also took some awards home:

Joe Sapp's Copo Camaro was awarded a Bowtie Boulevard Gold

Brad Kosic's L78 Nova was awarded a Gold Spinner

We had a few Judged as well:

'62 Corvette 340 hp; Silver Spinner
'58 Impala Rag Top; Gold Spinner
'55 Nomad; Gold Spinner

I hope I didn't forget anyone?

Thanks to all who participated, Bob and his crew, as well as all the Judging Staff!

Stefano,

You forgot Albert.....who won Silver Spinner.....my opinion should have won Gold.

Albert....a CE block is the next best thing to the original born with engine...JMO.

Thanks Dan..first my thanks to Bob and his crew for a excellent show. I have worked several shows and it takes lots of effort to pull one off especially one this size. I also agree with Dan that achieving a Gold Spinner was on my list of accomplishments for my car but a CE block does not qualify as a valid engine code so a automatic 40 point deduction. Not to pick on one car directly or complain, but the orange 69 L-78 with cowl plenum..an orignal 325 hp car converted to L-78 with a L-78 motor code on the pad can win gold..doesnt seem fair! Seems to me that there is too much emphasis on motor codes on the block but none on verifying what was orginally in the car( vin/factory paper ) But I had fun..saw some old friends..made some new ones ...arrived back home safe and sound and I still have my COPO so all is not bad, although another Vettefest does not seem to be in my future.

Sorry Al, I forgot about your situation. Your car is certainly Gold Spinner quality. What's is the deal with CEs/Judging? I thought those rules were changed?

[DarrenX33]

Al I don't remember anything about the CE block deduction. Outrageous I'd say. Your car is an prime example of a quality restoration deserving no less than a gold. Should have been a gimme. It was great having you out in our neck of the woods. Sorry about the show results cause we'd sure enjoy having you back.

[ORIGLS6]

It's damned sure GOLD in my book!
