PISTON POWER SHOW

[Mr. Chevy]

I attended the 2nd annual Piston Power Show at the Cleveland IX Center this past weekend. Chip Foose made a guest appearance to sign autographs on Saturday.. The show contained everything you could imagine from musclecars, hot rods, modern cars, boats, motorcycles, semis, trucks, construction power equipment, military vehicles/tanks and airplanes.. It is a different show..

I took my 69 Chevelle SS ragtop. There were approx. 1,000 cars registered. It was a judged show.. My ole' yellow jalopy took a first place trophy in it's class and I was delighted!!

Took lots of pictures, enjoy.....

Rich

This is one BAD A$$ Mopar.. It won best musclecar.. I know the owner. He drives this car to local shows and events. It is a real Mr Norm's/Grand Spaulding sold car and was a race car in the Chicago area early in it's life before he bought it and had it restored back to original...

That was a great show, what Rich failed to mention was that his yellow 69 SS convertible took first in his class. Congrats Rich.

We had a nice time at the show, becoming a nice show too. The IX Center is BIG.

Grady took this picture of Trophy Winner Rich &quot;Mr Chevy&quot;, Doug &quot;C O P O Cartel, and me.
Grady was going to be in the shot, but felt intimated by the chair... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif

LOL... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

[Mr. Chevy]

Somehow I knew this picture was going to show up here.. I have to say that it was my stupid idea to sit in that ridiculous chair for the picture. We were just being goofy.. This was actually before the beers were consumed... Grady took the picture but refused to be a part of it..

Doug had us laughing our a$$e$ off all day with his jokes and teasing the girls selling the beers!! We had a good time..

Thanks for posting MIKE!!

Rich

[Xplantdad]
