We ended up staying under the canopy for about 2 hours. It was nice though, had Tillar, Topher and Tuffcat to talk to. Hope you have a good time tomorrow Jackie. Friday is my only day up.

Twas there Thursday through Today. just got home. Had a blast. John drove my General Lee on Friday, as well as my good friends on Sat. Made his week. I was just glad to see him happy. Signed both cars as well. Alot of headache messin' with Carlisle "Planners" to try and get the stars there and set up, but all in all, not a bad weekend. Just HAD to rain Friday, thank goodness we were in the building all weekend. The picture above was of my friends General Lee. Don't know if you guys met him and his wife, but his name was "Roy"..Helluva nice guy. Met some of you when you came by the building. Some of you might have seen us cruising one of Carlisle's Green Golf Carts with a Gold Grille "V" Emblem glued to the front.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnewyAb0-T0&feature=player_embedded

These are a few to get you started....


This was the autograph line as of only 5min. into Friday....It reached a fever pitch of around the corner and down about three car lengths for a total of about 300FT. long...








This is my good friend Roy.. We had a blast!! He was beside himself with pride this weekend...
This was right before John drove HIS General Lee at Carlisle.....Roy will have to get me video and pics of My General Lee, but the video does show it pretty well..











And here's John signing my GL....


And here's Lou Santiago and son...

Right before that parade down to the grandstand, all the celebs had breakfast with some winners from local radio stations and I was lucky enough to be able to join them.  Had a buffet breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatos and some fruit.   Spent about an hour with them all asking questions and shootin' the sh!t.   :2thumbs:

So... I got the results from the club participation. We managed to have only 8 cars registered - 4th lowest of all 29 clubs with a tent. But, to be fair, remember that cars invited to be in the buildings or special displays do not count. I believe there were at least 7 of these which could have added to our total. As mentioned previously, we need 25 to qualify for a free tent. In previous years we've always been close to 20.

On the brighter side, and even though we weren't offering lunch this year, we had a great turnout for the group photo (even without a bunch of people forgot about it - again!). Every year I am introduced to members I've never met - and that's the big attraction (for me at least) to this show. The cars become secondary to all the great people. Thanks to Tufcat and Tilar for passing a hat and collecting enough donations to cover the tent expenses. I really do appreciate it!

It's definitely great meeting the people, and I'm glad that there was enough to cover the tent even though it didn't look like there was that much there. That's a lot of cost for one person to absorb when so many reap the benefits.

Dave, I agree with you 100%. I know many members who came up and paid Troy even before the hat was passed....and you're right it's a small price to pay for shade, security for your stuff, and protection from rain as we found out on Friday.
