LOL. OK, who's going?

I actually went out today, and boy did that wipe me out and hurt. With Beerdog still job searching, and my continued medical issues, I guess it'd be up to him, doubtful I could do any of the drive (but I keep improving). Possibility would be for me to hang at the Driller's or a nearby hotel (but then I'd need a car), with Beerdog accompanying you to Summer Blast. Oh, I don't know... we'd need to make pet plans, new dog still not trustworthy.

JP, call Mike and see what he thinks, I don't feel like going downstairs to talk to him.

But FYI people, this is a fun trip, and tends to be very inexpensive. Plus you always go home with souveniers.

As always, your car looks amazing.

Was it a smaller turnout this year? I know I had been planning to attend, but the dates just didn't work out. I really had a good time at this one last year,

Yes, it's always been right around my birthday. They moved it this year to get a private track rental.

As it turned out, the track event was canceled due to not enough registrants. :(

But a good time was had anyways. I'll post more pics later. ;)

Here's the picture that I promised you JP. This pic is actually a blend of three different pictures that I took. Ah, the magic of post processing. lol

Great looking car!

You're all set for next year's calendar. :thumbsup:
