Great to here some LS1 people plan on coming. I have had ALOT of people say they are coming. Now if it really turns out this way then please be patient coming in and getting pictures. It will take a little while. We will have some real neat displays this year but the key is it will only get better. This will be an annual event so please remember to let me know the good the bad and the ugly of the event so we can make it better.

Trying right now to get Champion to bring out a Camaro or even a Z06 or ZR1 to show off. It looks promising.

I'll be there. I don't care to enter the car in the show but if that's what I have to do get a pic with a jet, I'm all for it. Any way we can order anything larger than a 4x6?

Yes on both parts. We will be printing out the 4x6's and have a place to pick them up. At which time you can order larger prints up to a poster.

I'll try and show up with my mis-matched wheels and squeaky breaks..hopefully Big Red will be nice and back to show-quality before that but if not, maybe i'll just hitch a ride w/a friend lol.

I hope I can get my car up to show-ready before then..i'd LOVE to get another picture of her with a jet!

The F-84 on sticks on HWY3 in front of the VFW by Ellington would look cool, too. That's a pretty rare bird. Of course the F-4 at the event would be the bomb. But, alas, no F-4U "C" HOG and the show to take a pic with...*sigh*

Hey, guys just a reminder this weekend. Right now looks like at least 200 cars. We are hoping for a huge show come on out.
