The Chicago supercar personality set up at the show was really cool! Hellen Gibb is a total sweethart and all the good things that were said about her were a gross understatement. Truly a classy woman.

Unfortunately Jack Douglass was unable to attend the show due to having the flu.

Mr Ed was great! He met a lot of members and was able to spend some time with the Fencl Tufo Deuces that he ordered and sold in 1970.

This first pic is of Ken "Charles Manson" Schoenthaler (im kidding Ken!)with "Mr. Ed" Schoenthaler (yes they actually may be related!) discussing the Deuce LT1.

The next shot is of Gene Engler "taking delivery" of his new Deuce by salesman Mr. Ed! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Many people were interested in what Mr. Ed had to say about "the old days" including Bill Wildt from Motorsports Unlimited TV.

My father with the sweethart of all sweetharts....Helen Gibb. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Jeff Murphy]

Thanks for the pics, Frank. From what it sounds like, I've made a serious error in judgement by missing the show. Oh well. I'm working away on the Reunion CD though, so I'm suffering for the greater good. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Disappointing to see your dad in a Day 2 look -- I was hoping to see the loud flares from the original picture of him. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[Bill Pritchard]

Nice pictures, Frank /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk with you yesterday, but you were in a lengthy chat session with Mr. Ed and Tom Clary and others. I did get to meet Charley and say hello to several other familiar faces from this board. The show was awesome, especially the incredible display of Supercars.

Also nice to see Darren, who has taught his young son how to correctly describe the women from "Motorsports Unlimited" TV show /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

BTW, a minor correction, the dark green Yenko Deuce is owned by Dan Hornback /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
