I'm not gonna make this one. I wish I'd plan for it. It looks to be a promising show.

I thought about it approx. a month ago, but the drive didn't seem worth it after talking with Jon (he went like 3 years ago). Plus I have a baby to SN Razz GGLE with at home.

The show was really good. There were over 100 registered show cars and a lot of vendors. Ermal decided to go with a Top 75, rather than the usual show classes. It made for a much more laid back atmosphere.

It was hot as hell though Shocked

Yep.. See Beth registered the car... He gave the Best engine award to me.. I wasn't even registered :-)

He has only awarded me once before and that was a long time ago...

The 50 bucks that came in the envelope with it was what I was talking about!

Crazy things happen when people walk past the engine bay and have absolutely no freakin clue as to what they are looking at!!! Some guy asked if it was a six cylinder :-)

Thats another 540 miles on the beast, Beth only saw the Speedo at 90 MPH sustained one time.. It feels like 70, not 90 and the car REALLY smoothes out above 85 or so... Just like my 912 :-)
