Default JUDGES STAND -- New Improved Mod Marker!

Well Summer is officially over (never ends here in SoCal though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) so its time to free up some bandwidth and start a new spiffy mod marker <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

With this comes a pledge to actually move the marker when I come in the room..

Let the madness begin!!!!!

I thought it ended officially on the 15th?? How can it end on the 23rd when im attending the FALL CLASSIC CAR SHOW on the 22nd??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Isnt that false advertising????? <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

In other news, Super Chevy re-shot the engine pics for the upcoming magazine deal so im happy that i get to "put my best foot forward" in the article.. he also showed me the pics they have decided to run so far. 5 pics.. on of the front with mountains (big) a 3/4 shot of the back of the car. shot of dash (might make marks plaque famose) shot of the interior and engine shot.

It was all pretty exciting <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Im going to Hillco next week to get all your stuff.. Did Mark want anything? let me know

Good luck at the car show.

Cool news on the Super Chevy article. I'm looking forward to seeing your car in print.

As for Hilco. No I don't think Mark will want anything. Thanks for asking.

Had a total blast at Bowling Green!

Same synopsis:

Rained on us for the drive up and trashed the Berger.

Friday washed up Berger, toured the Corvette Plant, went on a Country Road tour, (got Rained on) BBQ was tasty, had a blast,

Saturday, went drag racing and fully embarassed myself! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> Cleaned up the Berger some more, had the Banquet and auction. Oh and got threatend by the local police for "Unlawful Assembly"

Sunday car show, won a "Peoples Choice Award" Then had to go home. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

All in all had a great time, met tons of great people, look forward to next year!

The Berger can run the 1/4 in 12.7 sec. I ran 13.9! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Let me just say BFG KDW's traction blows. Spun 1st, 2nd and even in 3rd!!! Hell did the most embarassing and stalled it on the line. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> Well just need more practice.

You and your damn mods. Althouhg you should see my garage now!
