The Vette Fest Experience

[jeff morocco]

i wont re-post all the cars that you have seen already but i just wanted to post some of the pics that my wife took of our EXPERIENCE of Vette Fest. I am glad thet we did this as it was super easy to get in with a 53' trailer and leaving was even better! we decided that it would be best for us to wait until the last shuttle to get our trailer in to load up. we were one of the last ones there along with rick pauley,dennis cumby,rick nelson and i think stefano was still loading up all his stuff and we were still home and in our jammies by 7:30 pm. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif the best Vette Fest i have entered a car in over 20 years !!! AWESOME job Bob!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif here are some of my favorites........

i had 150 Hero Cards made for Dominic to sign, our sponsor Boehmer Chevrolet gave us 100 key chains and my dad gave us 100 pens for the boys to hand out, we came home with 3 cards, no key chains and 3 pens which were dried up...Dru used them all up judging the Z's.

this show has probably cost me another Jr Dragster for my youngest son Cole to drive....i guess maybe a Yenko Duece themed car since it will be our 2nd car....hmmmm http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Salvatore]

Jeff
Was great to talk with with you a bit, and I really enjoyed seeing the 69 Yenko Chevelle for the first time too.
You have two great boy's there that will always make Mom and Dad proud http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
Hope to see you at the next sYc reunion. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

Jeff,

Your very blessed....you have an awesome family. I enjoyed spending time with you and your Dad.

I too have a Special Favor for Chris Short. Chris can you please extend the Yenko visit in IL. until next summer so You, Jeff and his Dad and the Butternut Yenko can attend my all 1969 Chevelle Party!

Another Great Story from this weekend was...while speaking with Jeff....I happened to ask did your Dad ever meet Jack Douglas (The dealership owner of where he purchased his Yenko Chevelle), Jeff said no they never meet.

The next day (Saturday)....I was walking up to the cars, and there was Jack Douglas admiring the Yenko Chevelle. I was so excited for the Morocco Family, because this is what happened next! I was very honored to introduce the two of them for the very first time in nearly 40 years...WOW!

Priceless!

Very nice post Jeff.. I think that its great that you have the boys actively involved in the "car thing" there is no better hobby or sport!!!

[kwhizz]

Enjoyed the conversation with Jeff and Nick......Spent a lot of time talking to Jeff's dad about Drag Racing in "The Day".......Seems we knew a lot of the same people back then.........That's what it's all about........The Cars are Secondary......... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Jeff,
Every time I walked past your area I had to smile. So great to see your entire family together and enjoying this crazy hobby we all love. Let's hope it continues for many, many years. You guys are tops! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[Salvatore]

You are tops too Dennis! Always ready to help someone. And your smile is as wide as they come. Thanks for helping our weekend to be special. Glad your wife hung out this year too. We also can not forget Darrens friend and neighbor Bob. He was the guy that ran out for those killer Windy City hot dogs. Thanks to you too Bob. Sammy http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[DarrenX33]

Believe it or not this was the first time I actually formally met Nick. What a great guy. And that saying about the apple not falling far from the tree... Let me just say that is one great family. A pleasure to call them friends.

[Rooster]

Jeff, Just happened to be looking at Yenko stuff and ran into these great pics. Had to register finally to tell you how great is to have you guys as friends. I shoulda been on board when the Vega stuff was happening but I was lazy. Now I just had to tell all that the Morocco family is for real and you can't find better people. Say hi to your Mom, Dad, and the little creep for me will ya? Russ

[jeff morocco]

THANK YOU EVERYONE !!!!! im very honored to have you guys as friends on this site! everyone is willing to help each other in some way or another whether it be making signs, lending a hand or even goin for dogs!!! that is what makes all the time , effort , and money all worth it. thanks again for all you guys that came by and had the boys sign cards for you, i think the best part was when a 7 year old boy came up to Dominic and said "hey, youre that kid from the magazine i just got." there must have been 20 kids come over and got his autograph each day. im really glad i had more cards made for this show. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/youguysrock.gif

welcome aboard Russ.....what took ya so long geez !!what kind of yenko stuff you lookin at ???

P.S. dominic wanted me to tell everyone that he scored the highest out of all 3 cars on his judging sheet...that little ..............blank !!

I couldn't make VF this week.While standing next to your cars I was hoping they would interview you,your son or your Dad on WGN Tuesday,but the reporter turned and walked clear over to another car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
