Hello

[DarrenX33]

While I have been a "gearhead" for most of my life. It is this year that has brought me in closer with events like the Fred Gibb Car Show and SCR5. I guess it all started as a kid while I watched my brother tune his 71 Z-28 on weekends. With the addition of his friends, there was no shortage of Camaros, Chevelles and etc. in my driveway. The car I learned to drive on was a 69 Z-28, which I later restored at the age of 21 (you would think I would be more concerned with buying beer).
The Fred Gibb Show was a turning point for me. Rather that thinking "wow, that 67 Z that says 'little hoss' is nice". I found myself thinking "Wow, I can't believe the amount of history that is here!". I was a year old when my Z-28 came off the line so catching up on what I missed has been a rewarding adventure. This website has been a wonderful source of information and has kept me informed on such great shows. The degree of friendliness among all of you is amazing. Heck, I approached Ken Barnhart at SCR5 with a question about his car and he graciously talked with me about it for a good while.
While I don't have a true "Supercar" I hope you don't mind if I tag along for the ride. Over the year I have learned a lot of the names behind these great cars and I hope to formally meet everyone as the shows continue.

Pleased to meet you,
