ChuckDX77 and I are leaving my place a little after 7:00 a.m. if anyone else is heading into Glenview from the northwest and wants to tag along. Hope to see some of you fellow 'Chi-towners' there.

Took a ride down to the Glen today and met up with Chuck and Rich....What a beautiful setting for a Car Show, Great Weather and about 75 cars showed up for the Inaugural Event.......But......It turned out that we had the only American Built cars that showed up......The young "Flat Belly" crowd is more into the Exotics......Here's some Pic's...

The "Odd Balls"..........



Rich's "Z" Car



Chuck's Car




"And" the Exotic's

Holy Cr*p, you made the drive back across the 'cheddar curtain' and posted before I even got home...You da' man! Then again, I did take a 'detour' to the countryside and shook the cobwebs off of Ol' Blue. You're right about "Odd Balls"...we were like Huey, Dewey and Louie on one side of the street and the exotics on the other. A very nice location and hopefully we can drum up some more vintage muscle for the next event.

Kwhizz was in charge of cars...and I had to do the dirty work.

That's not entirely true, I have proof!

But first I'd like to introduce myself and address your comment about the "flat belly crowd":

My name is Jeremy and together with a hard working team of several other people I run Supercar Saturdays. The event was first conceptualized only 3 weeks before it took place, and as any of you who have run an event of any kind know, there just aren't enough hours in the day so to speak.

We had a lot of things to take care of from developing the website and establishing a team to marketing the event and coordinating with the venue. Since we were pressed for time, the only advertising we were able to get done was internet forums / message boards which posed a few problems:

<ul type="square">[*]There aren't very many classic / vintage / muscle car boards (especially when compared to contemporary cars
[*]The ones that do exist are hard to find as Google mainly turns up the modern, plastic muscle cars
[*]We didn't have established relationships on those boards and in most cases when some new guy who isn't established within the community shows up advertising an event, things don't go smoothly[/list]
I personally sent out email invitations to a hand full of organizations to try and bring a broader selection of cars because to be honest with you, all the newer stuff starts to look the same after a while.

As I said to Chuck over lunch (which he was kind enough to buy me, thanks again Chuck) my personal goal for the June 6th event is to get more participation from the collector crowd to compliment the already stellar participation we have from the contemporary guys.

I need your help! I don't want to be "that guy" showing up at car shows and advertising a separate event, but I desperately want to increase the assortment of cars and think that the older stuff you don't see every day is far more interesting...so, how can I do it? I already put you guys on the logo

Thanks for reading, now on to the pics of some American cars you missed:















These guys must have been looking for Rich...even though we told them to turn their hearing aids down for ya






And of course the already pictured stars of the show:





Hope to see you at the next event on June 6th, and please let me know if you have any ideas about how I can go about increasing vintage / collector car participation!

Jeremy
