Haha, that's the place alright. My mom is a teacher there. I'll be out there even if I don't have my car finished in time.

Default Gateway To Florida

It was a great show, there were 93 vehicles registered, 7 cars from Brumos's private collection and 4 cars from other collectors. We had approximately 1500 people attend the event. Just what did you not like?

Next year we hope to to invite local clubs to help us make it bigger and better show. We have 81 acres of land and only used a small portion of that.
All of the Manufacturers we had on board will be back with us next year plus we should be able to add a lot more Car dealers from the area. We put this all together in a little over 2 months. We are starting next week to go over the good and the bad so we can improve next year. If you would like to get involved call the school.

I went with my friends. We though the show was really cool. The viper and matching bike were awesome. I really liked the 71 Chevelle on the 325/50/15s and the 68 Camaro. That one Porsche race car was cool too. I like how they had the intercoolers routed so that the vents in the body cooled them off. I took about 40 something pictures of cars at the show. I'll post them up when I get home.
