Wow! That`s Big News! I wish Guy all the success in his new acquisition

Dan

I am happy for both parties. If Dana had not bought the show years ago, it would have probably died. I am sure that he is so busy with his auction company that owning Bloomington Gold did not make much sense anymore. I wish Guy great success with Bloomington Gold. Registration opens tomorrow so I am looking forward to June.

As a brief aside, is it true the Benchmark road test is scrapped this year due to construction in the area of Pheasant Run?

They are moving the show in 2013. I think it's going back to the State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

Ed- I thought I heard it was Champagne, IL

Yes, you are right --Champaign in 2013!!

Jake,

That's what I thought as well. I got an e-mail that said Champagne but then a number of people told me it was Springfield?

All I know for sure is they're leaving St. Charles after this year. I for one will miss Pheasant Run.

Yes, that is correct. There will be no road test this year due to road construction.

Congrats go out to Guy Larsen.

As an aside, Guy had his goegeous LS6 Corvette in our &quot;Class of 1971&quot; Invitational display in 2011 and we have already been discussing having him bring in a very rare and unusual '72 Corvette from his collection for our &quot;Class of 1972&quot; Invitational. He is indeed a real &quot;Car-Guy!&quot;
