Despite a one hour rain delay, this was again one of my favorite shows of the year. The schedule conflicted with the Goodguys, but they are two different shows.
1000 cars, from a 1903 curved dash Oldsmobile to Mustangs and Lambo's with dealer tags on them.
Several "Show within a Show" classes, as this is such a well organised event with the room for them, the Corvette, Porsche, AMC, Mustang, Buick and a few others were there in force, along with many other fine examples of automotive history. Too many to show.
First off, the Friday night cruise in drew close to 1000 cars, but I was lucky enough to park next to Mark Hasset and his 1 of 3 Baldwin-Motion Phase III, L88 powered Camaro. With open headers, this car is LOUD, but despite not winning a 6 foot trophy Friday night, he did win a Blue ribbon on Saturday. Could not happen to a nicer guy.

First off, Friday night. The only Baldwin-Motion and COPO cars at the show.

Now for the Saturday show. The AMO regional show was across the row from the Camaro Class.

PT Cruisers, this is their big event for the year, (thank God). http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif These are the most tricked out group at the show.

Great pics Andy! Really like the 94 Camaro Convertible! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Sorry didn't get time to talk with you, was out judging those Cudas, The Lime green one was 1st place, fresh resto,very very nice, rumor had it that he paid about 700k for it. Mr. P reportedly sold the Tasca Boss 429 a couple of days before the show for 675K. Really great that Mark won Best of Class with his 68, its easy for cars like his to get passed over, since most people don't know how rare they are. Was a real nice sound when he came through the awards parade! Final tally for Saturday show was close to 1000 cars. This show is one of the best mixed make shows in Ohio, well worth the trip, especially with Good Guys so close, you can go back and forth between the two. Craig

The parade is the best part. The L/88 nearly blocked out the announcer at the stage, and the parade was kind of like a human avoidance challange as many jumped out to take photos.

The parade portion of the show in a car like Mark's is a real treat http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

Yes it is, Bruce. I could have taken more pics of the PT's, but then I'd have had to shoot myself. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Like I said, this is their big fundraiser, so they show up in force for a good cause. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
Same thing for the Mustangs, except there were more of them.
