I will be there shooting video. Also will have a space in the manufactuers midway selling out DVD's. I won't be taking the 500 though.

Anyone staying at Excalibur?

I was down there last weekend for the Chrysler 400 and forgot to cash out one of my gambling ticket there for 38 bucks.  :'(

Anyone?

Thats Great that a few of you are going, I will be there friday morning, I wish my 69 R/T was done but it wont be done until Aug. so I will be taking my Dakota and might have it in the show. If anyone would like to meet let me know and maybe we could arrange something.
I'm staying at the Luxor and will have my laptop and will be checking in. Hope to meet anyone

So is anyone from this board taking their Charger? If so I'd love to add it to the video I'll be shooting out there. I mean I haven't had the chance to shoot too many of the members of this board and their cars yet on any of our DVD's.

I had planned on going, but its not very practical right now. I'd like to buy Chryco a beer though.

No, I didn't get to go last year either. At this point, contrary to my last post on this thread, there is a slight - very, very slight - possibility that I may go after all.

The last time I talked to Vain he said he probably won't make it either because of other commitments.

Seriously, the only reason I'd want to go would be to meet some of you guys - otherwise, most of those same cars show up at Spring Fling 2 weeks later.

Ah well I'll have a booth selling DVD's.

D.E.L. Productions is the name of the company. We will probably have DVD's available at 2 booths actually. One for just my company and one in conjunction with TEAM RACING and restoration shop.

Here are a few pics from the event...
first, a shot from the top of the grandstands on saturday afternoon (swap meet was out-of-shot to the right)
a 1200HP twin-turbo viper than ran mid-high 9's @ about 150mph
a sweet custom '70 Bee (I'm a fan)
Kenny Wayne Shepherd's Extreme Lee
the new Challenger concept was there...very cool
two of the 17 Hemi Cuda convertible's (including the Motor Trent test car with the red interior) on the drag strip
...just a couple highlights

Ah in the photo you shot of the field you can barely make out my vendors space. I'm right in front of the Red tent reading TEAM Racing.

would love to go but cant, if one of you guys going would look for new 3.55 gears for a 742 case i would be forever greatfull.please let me know. thanks much!

TheGhost

For all you guys that did go, did any of you happen to get pics of this car?  It appears to be YY1, the same color as my car, and I've been beating my head in, trying to find a picture of that color in good condition.

69_500

I will go through my pictures and video here in the next few days/weeks and see what I have.

And yes, that is where I was located by the TEAM Racing/Restoration tent, I was out there shooting their promotional video.

70charginglizard

I see they had the concept challenger there. So what did you think of it? Wish I could have been there to see that in person and scream at Chrysler to not allow charger history to repeat itself on that thing.

69 500,  What other shows do you shoot and sell videos at?  Do you go to Monster Mopar in StlLouis (Madison IL)?
1969 Dodge Charger 500 440/727
1970 Challenger convertible 340/727
1970 Plymouth Duster FM3
1974 Dodge Dart /6/904
1983 Plymouth Scamp GT 2.2 Auto
1950 Dodge Pilot house pick up

69_500

Yes, I'll be at the Monster Mopar show in St. Louis again this year. We were there last year shooting. We will more than likely be shooting this year at the chrysler Classic in columbus Ohio. I know for sure we will be at Carlisle, and we will be at the Mopars at Indy show. Still waiting on word that we are allowed to shoot at the chrysler classic events. We have been denied access to the Mopar Nationals.

Steve P.

Come on guys. Where are all the pictures from the show?? Hell, I know more than a few of you went!! Let's see em'........... :scope:

I was there , I located virtually no one except Rick K & Charger afficinado, I have 300 pix & I need to resize everyone idividually to post them here as every single one is too big  ::)

Well I shot a few photo's of  the show, not nearly the 1,400 like I did last year. I didn't have the advantage of having another guy running a camera this year, so I had to do all the video taping for the company. So no chance to shoot photo's like I love to do.

Is this the color you are looking for?  This looks like the original paint job.

It looks similar, but I don't know the post 68 code for the color, or if they even had it after 68.
