| Hi Gang July 10, 11 & 12 is Indy Super Chevy @ O'Rielly Raceway Park, or for you "older guys", Indianapolis Raceway Park. I'll probably roll in sometime Friday AM. Any Indy area wagons coming? Larry | |

| OK now I know you just love rubbing your job in my face Larry. I used to look forward to weekends, now I hate seeing where Larry and his wife are having a great time. The only way I will be there is if you were to pass away and you insist on being driven to your final resting place in a B Body wagon. On second thought ,you already have a Fleet so, NO I am here wishing I were there. Have a great time and remember we love Pics, Lorne. | |

Have a great time and remember we love Pics, Lorne. Hi Lorne First, they Mrs. had to work for Charlotte Super Chevy (where the Yenko Wagon got an "Outstanding" in "Big Body 90 & Up") and will be working at the hospital for the Indy trip, too. She's a R.N., and has a "real" job. Sadly, Mrs. Acme dont get to go on alot of the "long road trips", due to her schedule. Since most of the gang here cant get to FL for the shows I work for, I was hoping I could get "to a neighborhood near you soon" Just where in "the great white north" do you live? Lorne? I do know Super Chevy doesn't have any shows north of the border......................yet. Are you thinking about maybe attending the Woodward Dream Cruise? When the time comes Lorne, (and I aint that old yet) I would love takin' my "last ride" in your "b body hearse". Maybe you could be "The Official Funeral Director of Super Chevy" Larry | |

| Larry the Atlantic Nationals is the largest show in our area. that is where Foose was last year. http://www.atlanticnationals.com/Galleries/2008/Centennial/photo89.html Ironically in Todays paper the show organizer said he picked the date originally so it never interfered with others.He goes on to say that he is getting complaints because we are competing with the Goodguys event in Columbus Ohio. Little did we figure that would happen he says. Now next year is the 10 th anniversary and there is a book being done. All the cars over the decade( or most) and my car is the feature with Foose for 2008. How neat if another wagon,of any kind,let alone one of your status be present. I heard Chip may be back as well. My wife is also a nurse so I have to work around her to attend shows as you do. Somehow Daytona is more attractive than here for a vacation. | |

Are you anywhere near where they film "Ice Road Truckers", or maybe where Santa Clause lives?? How far are you from Columbus? I go to shows reguardless of if she can go. My job is kinda like being in the military, I just go where they tell me to. She can come along to all the shows I go to as far as my boss is concerned. However her boss would like her to be at work when they need her. Larry | |

| Yes I am contemplating Woodward. Pat has given me options as well. I would love to get caught up in that environment from looking at the pictures. It looks like a blast. | |

This will give you an idea Larry.Four lane to Moncton ,which is an hour and a half south of here. Thats where I grew up and is where the show is.
Big Nascar people too. Oh Jeez Lorne Its ONLY a 29 hour drive straight through from your home to mine. If ya leave now ya can get here in time to see the 400. Actually, you DO live near Santa! Its a nice little drive for you even to go to Woodward isn't it? YIKES! On a serious note, I can't see where you guys would lose cars to Columbus Good Guys. Rhinebeck <sic?>NY, maybe, (if that show was the same weekend only alot closer) but not Columbus. Someone up your way is just being a "whiner". Nothing more. If they wanted to go to either show, their gonna go. I have the display all ready to open tomorrow (7/2) at Daytona Intl Speedway. Just have to "spot" that cars where I want them and its "Show Time!" The Yenko will be used in the display again, along with a trick '69 Camaro. Hopefully the race will get at least 1/2 way and be official so I wont have to come back Sunday. Then late the following Thursday PM I will leave for Indy. As Casey Kasome used to say on the radio; "And The HITS Just Keep On Coming!" Larry | |

| I think he was referring to the car owners who want to attend from the New England and New York area but it conflicts with the Columbus show. He is proud to be competing with such a great show,I think anyway. Santa Clause you are talking to him,just ask my 5 kids. | |

Chris Hi Chris Nope, I'm not retired, yet. Actually, going to car shows IS my job. I work for the people who put on the Turkey Run and the Spring Show at Daytona. I travel to shows promoting our events. That is how I get to go to all the shows I get to attend. Larry | |
