Awesome show!
Novas... Novas... Novas!!! They were everywhere!
They had probably over 1200 cars plus 300-400 bikes.
Saw Frank (Fast65) there with some of his frends from Rochester, NY. One of them brought up a stunning custom 1st gen, Black with a Red Pearl and Red Pearl ghost flames. :drool:
Every year they do a memorial to people we've lost in the automotive community. This year I was part of the memorial service with a "cacklefest" style showing of revving engines and a moment of silence after shutting the engines down. I was next to a Sox & Martin car.
Shot the breeze quite a bit with Diane Sox, Bobby Allison (man he looks great for his age) and Lou Santiago. This was easy to do because they gave me prefered parking directly across from their booth. I found out that Lou lives about 20 minutes from my buddy in Charlotte, NC. It turns out we have a lot in common and he invited over to his house the next time I'm out there. One of the things we have in common is my favorite burger joint in Charlotte, Pinky's. :drool:
Lou had kind of a family reunion at the show. It turns out that there are a couple of his old Marines buddies that live in the area and a couple more met him from out of state. It was Semper Fi in the heart of town and under my tent! :usmc:
