As Ken said, the Nova Nats was a blast. On "the hill" as they called it, looked like a mini supercar reunion. Mix in a ton of other outstanding Novas, some of the nicest folks you will ever meet, super weather, WOW. Schonye, his wife Becky, Jeff G. and the other locals really made us feel at home. Everyone involved with the NNN and the host Nova club are to be commended. It was really neat to spend quality time with other sYc members, talking about our cars, our families, the past and the future.

The ones in charge had Helen Gibb set up right in front of the main doors of the hotel, which was really neat. Helen and Ray Morrison were the stars of the show with their Gibb Novas.

Marlin's presentation, in the middle of a bunch of supercars, was well attended and received. In addition to Marlin, Helen and Nancy Gibb both spoke, as well as Ray M. Was nice (and sad) to hear Helen speak about her late husband Fred, and Nancy remember one of our own, Dennis Hartweg.

Congrats to several members here who got awards. I am sure I have left someone out, but here are some I remember. Kwhizz, Schonye, Hasset (1st in restored/original), myself (runner up to Mark's Deuce).

To top things off, got to meet another original Deuce owner, Moses. Several of us had dinner with him Saturday evening, sitting in awe as we listened to the stories about his car. As happened with most of these cars, known to be invovled in a street race or two.
