That title sounds familiar. They block off the entire downtown area. Pretty impressive. If you can't bring the car try to come spectate. I'll be there with the 69.

I think we left my house at 7am last year. John correct me if I am wrong on that time. When we arrived there were already a lot of cars there. Lets hope the isolated thunderstorms don't make it to the show.

Very cool show yesterday. Not sure if the entries cracked 1000 but it was well over the 700 they had last year.
Unknowing to me, the original owner of my car was at the show with his family. His wife spotted the car and knew immediately it was their old ride. A very cool moment. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
Once again Dan (PostSedan) was the show photographer. We'll see if we can get some pictures up soon.

Hey guys sounds like a great show. Frankfort also had a great show at the same time with over 325 cars in their downtown area. The thrill of the show was the apperance of Troy Trapanier's "Chicayne" car. Twin turbo +1000HP '62 (I think) Biscayne. Arrived with 4 Billett Specialties Employees inside. It has been driven almost as a daily driver since built, awesome car.
