MCACN who’s going?

[chevyman0429]

How many here are going to the show ? My brother and I will be in on Friday to walk the town but of course the show on Saturday!

[dykstra]

Jake(RPOLS3) and I will be there. We have a swap space.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I am helping with move in and attending the show.

Can’t wait!!!

Ryan W31

[napa68]

Oh yeah........bringing this old heap. I'll be over in Vintage Certification.....if not over by the Dykstra's:beers:

[big gear head]

I'm going.

[Lynn]

I will be there.

[bergy]

I’ll be there with the “Racer Pacer” in the Tribute to the Military display. Can’t wait!

[chevyman0429]

This will only be my second time attending but my brothers first time. Really looking forward to Saturday and possibly meeting a few if the Yenko family!

[1967Z28]

I will be there. It's always a great time.

[Lynn]

Oh yeah........bringing this old heap. I'll be over in Vintage Certification.....if not over by the Dykstra's:beers:

Old heap my A$$. You want to see some old heaps, come to my house.

Looking forward to seeing this car. All your stuff is AWESOME.

[Lynn]

We need to coordinate a meeting place and time.

I got to hang out with Stefano a couple (or three) years ago at the Nickey display area. Still have my killer Nickey shirt.

[olredalert]

----As always, I'm one swap space away from the Dykstra brothers and thier cookies!....Bill S

[67since67]

I'll be in the High School Reunion Display.

But of course a visit to the Dykstra Bros, Bill S, Tim S and the Certification area, Barn Finds, etc, etc,...so many people/cars, so little time...

[carnut4life]

I've been every year they've had it since 2012 and see no need to break the streak so I'll be there. Hoping to see my three favorite Bill's while I'm there too.

[Too Many Projects]

I know Freddie, for one, likes to watch the unveilings so what time would be good to meet ? All y'all could wander over to the Vintage area and watch Mr. Shauger run around between 18 cars and I'll be there too.
I keep hearing about the Dykstra's fabulous cookies, but they are always gone by the time I can get over there.
I need to get over to Crash again and exchange the stiffener I got last year for the correct one, so maybe I can find some crumbs around the area...:laugh:
I'm staying at the Crown this year, and I know a few others are too. It would be nice to meet for dinner at the Caddy shack Saturday, if that would work. We would probably need to call and make reservations now for that, if we even can anymore.

[thehornworks]

Yes ,I will be there. Have swap spaces with Joe Smith

[SS427]

Myself and Don Stowers will be there on Saturday, Friday if I can find a set up pass. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

[Derek69SS]

I'll be there all weekend

[tom406]

I’ll be there Fri night, Sat and Sun this year. Would like to see a Yenko.net meetup, even if it’s just a quick flash meet n greet at some point.

[scuncio]

I’ll be there Saturday afternoon, leaving early Sunday morning.

[dykstra]

I'll be in the High School Reunion Display.

But of course a visit to the Dykstra Bros, Bill S, Tim S and the Certification area, Barn Finds, etc, etc,...so many people/cars, so little time...

Can’t wait to see your red ‘67 Bill. I was only able to see the bottom of your car last time because it was on one of your lifts.:worship:

[Too Many Projects]

I’ll be there Saturday afternoon, leaving early Sunday morning.
Sounds like just a delivery/pickup run, Tony. Sorry you can't be there longer. I have that cowl section for you...

[Lynn]

Tony's bringing my headers and side pipes for the 70 LT-1.
https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=177523&highlight=Kustom+headers

Anyone needing any small parts delivered from my area, let me know. Not bringing a big vehicle, so they can't be huge parts.

[RPOLS3]

I’ll be there Saturday afternoon, leaving early Sunday morning.

Stop by and say Hi Tony!

[Wakepowell]

I will be there with my Ram Air IV Judge

[Jonesy]

I'll be there Friday, Saturday for sure. Driving down 7 hours.

[67since67]

Can’t wait to see your red ‘67 Bill. I was only able to see the bottom of your car last time because it was on one of your lifts.:worship:

Come by on Friday Dave and you can hear the 'ol street fighter run. :beers: Although it was nastier when I had the L88 in it decades ago.

[Steve Shauger]

I like the idea of The Supercar Registry members meeting-up at MCACN. The Vintage area is next to the awards area. It would be great if we could meet in the awards area. they have seating as well there. They do have guest speakers using it from time to time. I have stick-on name tags. If someone wants to organize LMK. As Mitch mentioned we have actually 19 cars so we will be busy but definitely would stop by and love to meet everyone.

Safe travels and look forward to the show and seeing all our members.

[Hawkeye]

It’s been a tradition since 2012. No sense in breaking the streak now. See y’all Saturday and Sunday. Safe travels.

Cheers,
Marty

[TimG]

See you there, I will be judging '67 Corvettes on Friday and Saturday.

[Too Many Projects]

See you there, I will be judging '67 Corvettes on Friday and Saturday.
How many '67's are going to be there that it takes 2 days...:shocked:

[TimG]

I believe there are 11, we will try to get four or five judged on Friday.

[Too Many Projects]

Dang, going to have a show of their own. I'm going to have to try to get around more this year on Saturday. Friday is usually barely controlled chaos in the Vintage area, moving cars.

[Wakepowell]

See you there, I will be judging '67 Corvettes on Friday and Saturday.

Oh no, I thought I had the '67 all set for the Triple Crown but now that I know how tough the Judge will be I had better go back through the car.....

[LetsFNgo]

I’ll be there with my SC360 Hornet in the barn find area. And will be working the show directing people where to park cars on Friday. Stop and say hello.

[A12pilot]

Sorry we’re going to miss it this year:frown: Yous guys have fun. Next year I am going to help by lending my expertise where it’s obviously needed. I’ve been appointed Executive Sanitation Production Manager for next year’s show!:headbang:

Cheers

[RPOLS3]

Sorry we’re going to miss it this year:frown: Yous guys have fun. :headbang:

We will have a cookie and beer for you in your absence Dave...

You’re a good man, Jake!! I’d expect nothing less from the Dynamic Dykstras!:beers:

[Canuck]

Of course I will be there,Vintage Certification as usual.

[bashton]

See you there, I will be judging '67 Corvettes on Friday and Saturday.

Thanks for being a part of the Judging team, Tim and for the continued support and participation.

You are going to be a busy guy, as we have two blocks of '67's in our Triple Diamond gallery! In fact, the largest field ever of TD contenders, with 56 ranging from 1954-1972. Whew!

Bashton

[bashton]

I’ll be there with my SC360 Hornet in the barn find area. And will be working the show directing people where to park cars on Friday. Stop and say hello.

Thanks so much for joining the "team" and for showing the SC/360 in Barn Finds. What a cool car.

Yes...Friday is a crazy day and we will certainly put you to work. I like to think of it as "organized chaos" and I am confident that our team has things really dialed in this year. We have had several team meetings (in several states!) coordinating and exchanging ideas.

Oh...best of all is a whole lot of additional trailer parking!

Actually, best is when I walk in Saturday morning and see how it all came together when most are across the street resting up for two awesome days!

Counting down the days....

Bashton

[TimG]

It's a great show, Bob. I don't know how you do it.

[Steve Shauger]

It's a great show, Bob. I don't know how you do it.

MCACN is put on by team people. From security, traffic coordinators, judges, staff that organize and answer all questions and resolve issues, many...many volunteers, sponsors, show partners, Bob's tireless efforts and most importantly the participants and attendees.

This show will be like none other!!!

[chevyman0429]

Im really looking forward to my second time at this incredible show and hopefully to meet some of you from this great site!

[Rsconv68]

This place?

[Too Many Projects]

Yeeeees, Tatoo

[Too Many Projects]

Thursday afternoon: quite quiet but transports are rolling in.

Friday mid day: lots of cars now and starting to get in their correct locations

Friday evening: looking like organization and still many hours before it all comes together.

[bashton]

Can’t wait to see your red ‘67 Bill. I was only able to see the bottom of your car last time because it was on one of your lifts.:worship:

So, coincidentally the ENTIRE ROOM by Bill will be filled with our High School Reunion Invitational participants. Nearly 50 cars are joining us for this awesome feature and coincidentally, Bill's '67 happens to be in close proximity to your booth.

Amazing how these things happen at the MCACN show, isn't it?

Bashton

[bashton]

It's a great show, Bob. I don't know how you do it.

Many years ago I read Lee Iaccoca's book and he said something I'll never forget. "Surround yourself with the right people..."

THAT is the key to my success.

Mitch, you forgot one like, Monday morning at 1:00 a.m. waiting for the transporter to come back and pick us up. Thanks to Bob and Vicki for driving BACK to the arena with some food for me. I have never forgotten that!

Wow, that must have sucked. Monday 1 am I am home in my own bed again and snoring like a freight train from exhaustion.

Believe me, after spending 4 LONG days at the show, I was MORE than ready to get home and that delay really sucked but we do what we gotta do. LOL

As for this year Bob, since this is the first time in a long time I will be there without a car in the show, I will be home in time for a home cooked dinner on Sunday but thanks for the offer. ;)

[R68GTO]

Decided to make the trip. Hope to see all of you on Saturday!

I feel the same way by noon-1pm on Sunday after having been there since 10 am Thursday. I don't get home in time for dinner, but I'm ready to fall in my own bed after an 8 hour drive.

[Wakepowell]

Detailed and getting loaded up to go get the Triple Crown. Not bad for a survivor.

[Steve Shauger]

This is one of the cars I can't wait to see in person! It is in the Veterans Display and the owner Mike Vietro is a proud Marine. It has achieved many awards but is now competing for the Concours Gold and Triple Diamond @MCACN

Here's the detailed history and documented achievements.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to only be an hours drive away for this show.........those in the suburbs even closer.

[67since67]

What's not to love about a Marina Blue '67 :beers:

[TimG]

Both the Survivor 435 convertible and the L89 are great cars. They have both been to our Texas Regional, also.

[Pro Stock John]

I'll probably swing by Saturday.

[Wakepowell]

They will be together again.

[TimG]

I recognize the car on the right, old Baby Blue is in good company.

That would be Triple Diamond, my friend. We are not affiliated in any way with the old CVF show that no longer exists.

Safe travels!

[big gear head]

I had to cancel. I'm not able to sleep yet after having my shoulder repaired. There should be a room available at Embassy Suites now. I canceled my reservation this morning. I hate to miss this, but I just can't do it right now.

[Too Many Projects]

Sorry you can't manage this and had to cancel, fully understand about recovery from surgeries taking too dang long ..LOL

[Pro Stock John]

I've only met a few of you guys over the years, say hi if you see a 57 year old guy who people say looks like Kevin Spacey. I'll wear camo pants too to help.

In that sea of people, pants are not visible. Maybe a bright pink hat would be noticeable...:laugh:
If you're there on Friday, wander back to the Vintage area, with the 4 post lifts, and say hi. When you come down the steps from the entry, turn right and walk until you hit a wall LOL

[tom406]

Hello all-I've been talking with Steve Shauger about the planned informal meet and greet for Yenko.net members and fans. Steve is going to set me up with some name tags for us to identify ourselves with and I will plan to be in the awards area near Vintage Certification on SATURDAY from 11am to 12 noon and be the host. First official usage of that area is the Shelby talk at 1, so we should be clear for folks to mingle, put names to faces, and make the event even that much better. Swing by when you can, for as long as you can, it's all good. See you all Saturday. -Tom Breske aka tom406

[SS427]

I will be there to get a name tag. Our annual reunion which is the reason I go to the show.

[Lynn]

I will definitely be getting a name tag. Looking forward to seeing some of you guys face to face.

[chevyman0429]

Yup Ill be up for a name tag as well!

[Andy]

I should be rolling in around 12 to 1 on Saturday. My flight from Atlanta lands at 10:50. I'll have to wait on the hotel shuttle to pick me up. I'm at the Crown, which I believe is across the street from the convention center? My first year attending and I can't wait to see the show and meet some of you all!

[dykstra]

We will be at the bar in Gibsons for the majority of Friday night with the usual suspects. You know who you are! Lol

[Lynn]

For us knuckleheads who don't know, where is Gibsons?

[dykstra]

Gibsons Steakhouse is right across the street from the MCACN show. It’s in the Double Tree hotel.

[L78_Nova]

Gibson's is worth the trip..... even from Winnipeg !!!!

[Pro Stock John]

Nice chatting with Dykstra, Tenney, Steve Shauger and a whole bunch of Chicago locals.

Another great show.

[LetsFNgo]

I’m sorry that I missed the little meetup. Met a few members which was awesome and I’m having a great time at the show.

[R68GTO]

It was nice to meet a few members only known to me by their SYC handle - Thanks Tom406 for organizing it!

[TimG]

What a great event, and I got to meet a few of the members here.

[68camaroz28]

Great show again and sorry I missed many of you but did see and meet many of our car friends. Quite busy on Saturday with all the activities.

[RPOLS3]

I’m sorry that I missed the little meetup. Met a few members which was awesome and I’m having a great time at the show.

Me as well. I know Dave made it over there to meet with others. We had a pretty steady stream of friends old and new stopping by our space and unfortunately I didn't get out much to see others. One of the highlights for us was being invited to dinner Saturday night by Tenney and his group which included Carl Bolander (a previous Owner of our 409) and Dru. In addition to being able to partake at Gibson's two nights in a row - we really enjoyed the conversations.

We intentionally used the early vendor entry time on Sunday to try and take in as many cars as we could and glad we did. Another great show by Bob and crew - I say this every year but how he still finds 500+ excellent cars every year is beyond impressive.

See you all next year.

@RPO LS3, you were the guy that Steve intro'd me to I think?

I saw some faces walking around but didn't want to bug ya if you were deep in conversation.

What do the volunteers do, help set up the railings, carpet, move cars around?

I remember we had a meal together years ago with my son and you explained that you do everything with your wife, and you have an awesome tow vehicle, and you bought a muscle bike from Mark Meldrum…. Guess where I got my muscle bike???? From Mark :-)

Darn we missed each other at MCACN!!! (I got so sidetracked with the MSU Project W31 car)

[tom406]

Thanks to everyone who chatted. Apologies to all who came at 11 and couldn't identify the meeting spot. I tried to be conspicuous in my Green Yenko branded shirt, but there were a number of people hanging out/resting in the area. I was able to use the PA system around 11:30 to call people together, but I'm sure some had moved on by then. Steve Shauger and I discussed the logistics after the fact and it will be more organized and deliberately gathered in the future. It's a sound concept and goal- the folks I met were just as personable and solid in person as they are online. Thanks to R68GTO, Lynn, Dykstra, LS6owner and all the others who were patient and found us.

[Too Many Projects]

I, for 1, can never understand what is being said over the PA. I was standing behind the Vintage Cert table and thought that was where you would have people meet right in front of that. The discussions going on on the stage was news to us, as Steve had looked at the schedule and didn't see anything.

[Charley Lillard]

I just watched that video of Lynn buying the bike and his running away from home story. I suggest scrolling up and watching the interview. Good story Lynn.

[Lynn]

Getting ready to post the long version of the story.

[Pro Stock John]

Just watched the video, great story!

[Steve Shauger]

Lynn, great meeting you at the show. Congratulations on purchasing the bike. Now it is time to relive the journey to Lawton! Thanks for sharing that fantastic story...

Thanks Mark. You made this MCACN especially memorable for me.
