I've been to 3 of them from up here in Ohio. Every year I long to get back to it. Miss the swap meet and Bellaire Plaza. Talking to one of the vendors (he and his dad have many swap meet tables at the DTRR) at the Canfield Ohio swap meet,he said they weren't expecting a typical good event as because of the past seasons' flooding events down there,people would be spending money on home repair and car repair/replacement and wouldn't have any funds left for use at DTRR.

My Z on A1A.

Alot of the area was definitely affected from the hurricane but at the same time alot of the people who go arent from that area so I think it will probably be pretty big again. I went over to daytona about a month after the storm and other then a few trees still laying dead on the wside of the road it was all pretty well back to normal.

Weather sucked Thursday, Friday was overcast but still a big turn out and Saturday was slammed. Maybe only saw about 15 or so 4th gens..... there gets to be less and less each year it seems but everything has a LS Engine in it though it seems.

Good to hear Friday and Saturday turned out well.
For the 2008 Daytona 'Dream Cruise',the 4th gens corresponded on this site to set up a get-together. We met at the Home Depot parking lot.
Mine's the one in the middle with the front license plate.

That's awesome. It would be nice to see more of them around at the shows but in my head they aren't that old but in reality the most recent one built is still 15 years old....sad
