I </span>only had a quarter and had to make a decision of whether I wanted
a handful of chicklets, a chance to win a watch or maybe a necklace, or
possibly got a tattoo. I put the money in the slot and slowly turn the dial. . .
clickety, clickety, and then CLACK…With my hand below the spout, I waited for
the gumball lottery machine to reveal itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With a thump, the little plastic egg found its way into my hand and rewarded me with a well-deserved treat …or…I get the item I wanted
least of all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dash plaques bring back
that feeling for me because I never know what they are going to look like or
what they will be made of, but I do know that I will be taking one home.</span></b></div>

argued that he had not seen a Tractor Supply Store anywhere in sight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The car show was supposed to be across from

and brag that I knew what I was talking about, but instead, I focused on the

was very picturesque, nestled at the bottom of a hill with a creek hidden among the trees that lined the park on three sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a car show peninsula.</span></b></div>

didn’t win.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The anticipation of winning
was fun, though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Below is a picture of
the trophies for all of the “Best of Show” cars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The trophies were rather impressive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The largest ones looked to be about 4 feet
tall. The class winners received plaques.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although, Toby is not usually fond of plaques, he really liked
the ones at this show. On each plaque was the picture of the owner in his or her car that was previously taken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That made winning even more
special.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who didn’t place still
received their picture. No one left this show without a keepsake.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Today was a great day for a car show. The weatherman promised a day that would be mostly sunny with temps in the low to mid-80s, and he delivered. Registration was scheduled from 11am – 2 pm. At 8:30 am Toby called to confirm the registration time and was told that six cars had already arrived. We didn’t get as early a start as we had hoped, but finally our two-car caravan got underway and headed to Lebanon around 10:30 or so. </span></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">On arrival, we realized that the attendees that decided to get an early start had the right idea. The line was rather long. Even though we had to wait, this proved to be a great advantage because we had time to wipe off some of the bugs that had decided to cross our paths on the way there. This was especially important since this show was using drive-through judging. The The Mid-TN Regional Car Club has a pretty good system for this. As you are in line in your car, you are greeted by one of the Mid-TN Regional Car Club </span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">members with a clipboard and pen to fill out the paperwork. Once you pull up to the registration area, you pop your hood and trunk. While you are registering your car, the judging is done right then and there on the spot. To make this process seamless and fast, the organizers set up three lanes for judging. Below is a picture of the judging area a little later in the day when the bulk of the participants had already arrived. True to the flyer, judging and registration lasted until 2 pm.</span></span></b></div>

We even made it in time to be one of the first 200 to receive a dash plaque. Additionally, there was a bonus – a nice red, white, and blue participation ribbon for showing up. This was a fun little reminder that we were at a fair, which was a far nicer reminder than the smell of farm animals that were housed next to the fairground fields. </span></span></b></div>

Toby had several opportunities to talk about his car with other car show enthusiasts as well as the “ordinary” person who may not be a car aficionado. We even had the pleasure of meeting someone who worked at the fair and compared notes about his favorite cars, car audio systems, and car modifications. </span></b></div>

During one of our strolls around the field, I visited with some SSR acquaintances whom I had met at another car show in Dickson, TN. These guys are great. They are helping me convince my husband that I need a brand new Grand Sport Corvette. </span></b></div>

Parked a couple of cars down from me was a member of my own Music City Camaro Club in his very nice red Camaro SS with an engine that thumped, thumped, thumped behind me while we were in line during registration. Definitely a great modification.</span></b></div>

Although scheduled for 4 pm, awards were actually given out at 3:30. The event organizers gave ample notice so that every participant could be in attendance. </span></b></div>

Not only did this show have record turnout, but it also had at least one entry for every class, which is a first for any car show that I have attended and a first for any car show sponsored by Wilson Bank and Trust. In fact, there were so many winners that the </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Mid-TN Regional Car Club</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: large;"> members that usually get a first place trophy for helping with the show graciously gave up their trophies so that participants could be given their awards. The announcer called each person up by his or her name and by car. He even called out how many cars were in the extremely large groups. For example, in car class 26, there were 12 cars. </span></b></div>

Below are pictures of a few of the winners accepting trophies as well as a red, white, or blue ribbon. One thing that was different about this show than other Wilson Bank and Trust shows is that there was only one award for first, second, and third for each class. Often classes are split if the class is large, and there could be more than one winner in a class for different places, such as two second place or two third place trophies. There were two specialty trophies. One for Best of Show Original and one for Best of Show Modified.</span></b></div>

I can’t complain, though. The competition was tough, and our next door car show neighbor brought home first in our group. There were other very impressive cars in my group as well as some interesting cars that I hadn’t see at car shows this year.

A fair requires a bit of caution on the part of the car show participant. If you decide to do a car show taking place at a fair, be prepared for lots of children and adults who aren’t used to typical car show etiquette, such as “Don’t Touch the Cars!” We stayed close to our cars the entire show to make sure that they were not manhandled by the crowds.</span></b></div>

</span></b> <b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: large;">When it was time for awards, Toby and I were very fortunate; we were parked near the presentation area and were able to move our chairs to the front of our cars during the awards. Unfortunately, this is the same time a young man wearing his “wife-beater” tank top came bustling through describing how he “liked a Cobra better than a Saleen” right in front of us. That is fine. When you display your car, sometimes you get haters….A few minutes later we heard a tink, think, tink sound. We looked around and were horrified that he stuck his head in the window to get a closer look and let his dogtags clink against my husband’s driver’s door followed by the familiar click of the driver’s side door being opened rather quickly. This guy looking ready to hop in for a test drive. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: large;">The analogy of touching a man’s car is like touching a man’s wife is absolutely true in the car show world. Toby looked ready to leap from our well-placed folding chairs to defend his car’s honor. He told the guy very abruptly to shut the door and get away from the car (in not so nice words). The offender tried to excuse his actions by saying he didn’t know this wasn’t allowed. On this, he was set straight, and he left our cars to probably go manhandle someone else’s car during the awards. </span></b></div>

If you wanted to stay for a bit and hang out at the fair for a while, you were already parked. The Wilson County Fair is one of the largest in Tennessee. We only walked around for a few minutes to grab a quick lunch, but it definitely looks like it is worth checking out. Today’s event was interesting in that we met new people and saw cars we had never seen before. If you haven’t been to a car show at the Wilson County Fair, you should add it to your calendar for next year's events. </span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This certainly turned out to be one of mine and Toby’s most exciting car show days in a while, or at least trying to get to the car show was adventurous. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
It’s August 11. Destination: Pegram, TN, a little town about 1 ½ hours from our home. We got up early and were both in our cars at 7:00 am heading down the road with only a quick stop momentarily for gas on the way. I guess Toby was feeling especially frisky this morning because I kept pushing my Camaro to keep up with him as each red light turned green. For those who know Toby, you know that he reworked his engine by adding a blower over the winter months. Of course, he didn’t just buy a blower kit. No, no, no. That’s too easy. He had to buy a blower that required extensive modification and custom work to his car. Although, I was greatly worried this install would turn out disastrous, everything buttoned up nicely and ended up just fine. </b></span></div>

We made it roughly five or so miles from home when we reached the last light toward a bypass that heads out toward Goodlettsville, TN. True to the other lights, Toby lunged forth on the green and proceeded through the gears. I, in turn, kept up. As he was shifting from second to third something went terribly wrong. White smoke puffed from both tailpipes like a steam locomotive. It didn’t look good. I kept waiting for the whole car to blow up, but instead, white smoke streamed out from underneath the car and came over the top. There was definitely a catastrophe in the engine bay.</b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>He finally eased his car off the road to a parking lot, raised the hood, and discovered the problem was minor. He had popped a radiator hose, and all the bellowing white smoke was simply water and coolant burning off the engine. It took about an hour or so to clean up Butter Bean (the nickname I gave his car) and my car. Yep. My car was splattered with antifreeze that had shot out of his car even though I was a modest distance behind him. At the beginning of the trip, we thought we would arrive in plenty of time to receive one of the dash plaques for first 50 entrants. Turns out, that this may not be the case considering registration starts at 9:00 am and we weren’t even leaving Gallatin, TN until 8:45. <br />
</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Although, Toby does not like to take the interstate because his car is so low, he relented, and we were on our way to Pegram, TN. Surprisingly, it only took us about an hour or so to get there. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The drive to Pegram, TN was very peaceful and scenic. The town is approximately 8 square miles with a population of around 2200 people. If you blink, you would certainly miss the town and the car show. Harvest Fields made sure this wouldn’t happen today. On arrival, there was a huge sign painted on a bed sheet directing the car show attendees where to go as well as another sign at the entrance.</b></span></div>

Once we had our two cars nestled into their spots, the chairs and cleaning supplies unloaded from the trunk, and our campsite for the day established, I headed to the church basement to register both cars. </span></b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Registration was simple, twenty dollars for each car. There weren’t any classes in this event, just a Top 50 and a few Specialty Trophies (Best Paint, Pastor’s Choice, Best Engine, Best Interior, and Best of Show). I filled out two pieces of paper for both cars. One went on the dashboard, and the other sheet was for the church. If we filled out the second sheet, we got 5 extra points on judging. I got excited about a point system being used. I always feel that my car gets a fair chance to win when there is a concourse style point system in place. If not, my poor plane Jane Camaro is generally not a “standout in the crowd” kind of car. Thankfully, Toby’s car is, so we are covered with or without a point system. To my surprise, we were still in time to receive dash plaques. We were entry 25 and 26.</span></b></div>

If you wanted to get out of the heat for a bit, the church was serving up lots of great food: hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ, ice cream, etc. Of course, it was all very reasonably priced. In addition to the food, there was also a silent auction that had a plethora of options such as hand-covered, car-themed photo albums, tickets to places to visit such as the Science Museum, and other typical silent auction items.</b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Clean up on the cars was a bit more work than what we were accustomed to. The pepper spray of antifreeze followed by the touchless car wash really wrecked havoc on all of the nicely waxed painted features of my car, not to mention what the explosion of antifreeze did to Toby’s engine bay, which was also followed up by a rigorous spraying at the car wash. However, the car show gave us an opportunity to completely clean the parts we can get to. Looks like my car will be going on jack stands soon to rewax the undersurface…</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: large;">L</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Toby’s car got a nice fresh wax from one end to the other, which it needed.</span></b></div>

There were a variety of the typical car show favorites such as the early model Fords and Chevys. There were also several ratrods, a Grand Sport Corvette, and other custom cars along with a variety of stock cars. In total 47 cars registered for the event. The music was supplied via a radio turned to “Hippie Radio 94.5,” which played some good classic tunes. Another perk was that some of the children of the church walked around from time to time selling drinks.</span></b></div>

After closer inspection, I realized that the trophies really didn’t match each other. I believe they were left-overs from the past 11 years, which gave them a nice eclectic look. For fundraising purposes, this is a great way to save money. At this event, the top 50 trophies were each unique. My husband had his eye on what we would have deemed the third rung of trophies.

There were also several children available to hand out the trophies to the winners. They stated that they were handing out the tophies in order of points received. I knew that my car would not necessarily be among the top because there were many other very clean and prestine cars at this show, especially for the turnout. As each name was called, the presenters gave each person enough time to come up and be recognized. I really liked this. Sometimes at other shows, they rattle off names so fast, you just can’t keep up with who won what. They announced the Top 50 first and moved on to the Best of Show. My husband missed getting his “Flames” by having a couple of points too many. I think this was the first time he ever wanted a lower score…LOL…My stock 2010 Camaro SS must not have impressed anyone. Although it is spotless and never driven, my trophy didn’t come until the bottom rung of the 50 along with Semekia’s emaculate Roush. Based on this judging style, I wouldn’t really recommend this show to someone who is serious competitor who has a late model stock vehicle. You won’t be bringing home any big awards from this show.</b></span></div>

</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Mount Pleasant, TN is a small town located 12 miles west of Columbia, TN. The town is 11.1 square miles in size with an approximate population of 4,500. The car show was held at Williams Spring Park in Mount Pleasant, TN. The show location was very easy to find and is located directly off of US-Hwy 43 S coming out of Columbia.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">This was the fifth year for "Classics in the Park Show" and was the largest turn out they have had to date. For the last two years, it was typical to see a turn out that was just under 100 registrants. The charities that benefit from the show’s revenue are mostly local to Mount Pleasant. For example, in the years past they have taken money raised at the car show and donated to the local fire department to help finish some building projects. They have also donated money to the local school system. From what I understand, the club has even donated funds to help a few families that have had sudden and unexpected deaths. <br />
<br />
I had originally decided not to do any car shows Saturday. The weather forecast had indicated possible rain around 1:00 p.m., and I had decided not to get the cars out in the weather. Mount Pleasant is also just outside of my hour and a half general rule of thumb for driving to a car show. But, late Friday night I had decided to take our '06 Mustang GT daily driver and go check out the show. My wife gives me a hard time every now and again...in the regard of, just going to see a car show. Her words are "We don't have to participate in every one of them.” To be honest, my entire thought process on that remark is "Where is the fun in that?" I thought this would be a good show to kind of meet her in the middle. While I had no plans to merely walk around, I would go to the show and leave my competitive hat at home. Figured I would drive the '06 Mustang through a car wash along the way, take my detail bag, and knock off some dirt when I arrive. It would also give me an opportunity to pass out car show flyers for the upcoming event in the hometown where I grew up. <br />
<br />
I got up Saturday morning, printed off 150 flyers for the car show in Westmoreland on September 22, went outside to start the car, and remembered that I haven't cleaned up the "splatter" left behind under the hood when I buffed out some clear coat scratches a few weeks ago on the '06. So, before starting the car, I grabbed the water hose and a bucket of car wash soap, popped the hood, and quickly started spraying and washing off the left over compound that worked between the fender and hood seams. This actually turned into a bit of a job. I spent about 30 minutes cleaning the engine bay. I had already spent more time cleaning on the car than I originally had intended. But, I figured there was no reason the old girl had to look like a pig on the field. I could at least dress her up a little bit and insure she was at a minimum "presentable" even though I didn't have any anticipation that she would bring home an award. <br />
<br />
You could feel the humidity in the air Saturday morning. While the outside temps were in the low 80's, the air was still fairly sticky. The drive down to Mount Pleasant actually went pretty quick. I simply left Gallatin, TN and headed down hwy 109 over to the 840 bypass, looped down to Interstate 65 South, and got off of exit number 46 from 65 South. I made a right hand turn onto US-412 / TN-99 at exit 46. This is actually where the road that turns into US-43 South. So, after making the right hand turn off of exit 46, I simply stayed on that road and drove 19 miles to the park entrance that was on the right side of the road. <br />
<br />
I did make one detour along the way. When I came into Columbia, I grabbed my GPS and did a quick search for "Car Wash." I found one and drove the '06 Mustang through it and vacuumed out the car. Then, I proceed the remaining 12 miles to the show. <br />
<br />
As with most shows, registration was a breeze. As you pulled into the park, they had two lanes to pull up into. This was the "staging" area for you to park while you walked over to the designated awning and registered your car. There were plenty of people around to direct where to go. I don't recall my exact registration number...but, I think I was car number 85. Either way, I had at least made it in time to receive a dash plaque that was being handed out to the first 100 cars. At the very least, I was going home with something in hand. <br />
<br />
After registration was finished, I pulled forward and followed the marked off path that lead onto the field for parking. As I pulled up on the field, they had some very nice folks letting me know where to park. As I was pulling into a spot......I was told "you can move over more if you like and put more space between you and the other cars." <br />
<br />
The show field was huge...... In the last three years...I have never been told that! I am always the guy trying to put more space than allowed between me and other cars. I have on the other hand...been told more times than once that I needed to readjust and take up less room. This was a nice treat at the event. After being told I could take up much more room.....along with the sun in full effect with clear skies, I had started to regret not bringing out my good cars. Be that as it was, I got the little '06 Mustang nestled into her spot and began to unload my chairs and detail bag. I was actually fortunate enough to spot our good friend, Semekia's 2011 Roush and had parked in the row directly behind hers. Almost directly behind her car! Another bonus....as the temps were slowly climbing to the higher 80s and the humidity was starting to rise along with it, Semekia had stopped and picked up a tent this morning. She already had her "set-up" established behind her car and was in the middle of her "detail ritual" for the show. I thought to myself...”this was going to be a breeze of a day”.... I was going to relax, set up some chairs, and just kick back. <br />
<br />
After getting my "nest" set up under Semekia’s tent, I started to do some detailing to our little late model Mustang. Even with 100K on the clock, she deserved to have some attention and clean up. I popped the hood and trunk. began to clean off the brake dust on the wheels, cleaned off the few bugs I picked up on the 12 mile drive over from Columbia, and applied some "plastic & vinyl" conditioner to the underhood items. All in all, she cleaned up to look respectful enough for display on a field that was filling up rather quickly with some amazing cars. <br />

</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">The show field was level for the most part and pretty clean. It did not have any harsh "bush hogged" effect to the landscape. This was also something that is rare to find at a show that could easily accommodate another 150 cars on top of the 150 cars they already had. Actually, I would guess the grounds for this event would be able to handle north of 500 cars with plenty of space left over for spectator parking and trailered parking.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">The show had a handful of vendors on site. As you will find out later in the post, due to weather..... I was not able to take time out to truly investigate the vendor offerings. Before the weather interruptions that came later in the day, I had made a mental note to check out a few booths. However, because of the weather...I just wasn't able to do it. I do recall a few vendors that had some good old fashion "gear head" type stuff for sale. They also had a few arts and craft booths for those of a female nature. Like any good car show, they had great food at a very reasonable price. I recall a cheeseburger for $2.50 and a coke for $1.00. They also had more than one option for concessions.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">The vendor I stopped at for my car show cuisine was located in the corner of an "L" shaped setup for the vendors.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Before getting something to eat, I had actually gone around and placed my car show flyers in the cars. This was actually the first time I had passed flyers out at a car show. It was pretty uncomfortable at first. It really felt like I was violating someone else's car when I simply reached my hand into the open window, much less the awkward feeling of when I released the flyer into the seat. I have to admit....I couldn't keep doing it. I let my wife take over that job. It just felt too violating for me, but I really wanted to try and promote my hometown’s car show. So, while my wife respectfully placed flyers into the cars, I took a picture of each and every car. This turned out to be a very large undertaken. While It didn't feel very hot outside, the humidity was high enough that you would have thought I was a water tower that had sprung a leak!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">After taking pictures and getting some rest, Semekia came back to the tent and had been asked to help with the judging. At first I felt sorry for her....they had a lot of fantastic cars on the field. However, this provided a silver lining for everyone. Now, I have a chance to report back to the method of judging used for the show. Semekia is also a great person for judging cars. While she has a passion for Mustangs, she is very fair and loves all cars. She is also about as picky as I am when it comes to a car being clean and in good working order. As you can tell from the pictures, Semekia's role was undercarriage. Whoa is the person that forgot to clean under their car! As luck would have it, Semekia did not get to judge my car. So much for an insider’s advantage. Even though I had already come to terms with not actually being at the show to compete, it’s still hard to turn it off!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Judging was as follows: They had two teams of judges. Each person was responsible for a section of the judging sheet. Semekia had undercarriage and only reported the points for undercarriage. Then you had a person for interior...another for exterior...so forth and so on.. Pretty standard stuff. They appeared to be very organized. It was announced when Judging was officially started and reminded everyone to have hoods up and trunks up. As you can see from the above pictures, they did have mirrors to check under the cars. Judging looked to be pretty thorough.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Close to the time judging was finishing up, they announced a weather advisory had been released for thunderstorms coming in our direction. After the announcement, we starting hearing the rumble of V-8’s firing up. The ones that had been judged and were local to the area began to start up their cars to take them home and come back to the show later. All of the trailered cars got wrapped up and tucked away. We also began to pack up our little nest. At this point, the sky was still clear. A little bit of wind had started to kick up but noting to give indication of a storm about to sit in. </span></b><br />

</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">After we got everything packed up, let the hoods and trunks down with the windows up, we made our way over to the area where the awards would be given out. They had already announced earlier in the day that the awards would be held on the left side of the park under another pavilion. Again, I am still impressed with how well organized and laid out this event was. Most car shows are limited to not only how much space is available to host and show case the vehicles….but, they also have even less space for the awards ceremony. At the Williams Spring Park, they had three pavilions, and the event organizers utilized each of them. One pavilion was used for car registration as you arrived into the park. Directly opposite of that location on the other side of the grounds was a pavilion that had been set up with audio equipment and displayed the “Best of” trophies. While at the back of the park, they also utilized the third pavilion as an area to tally all the scores for the car show results. While everyone was slowly packing everything up and preparing their cars for the weather that was supposed to move in, Semekia become our storm tracker and was checking the storms current conditions on her phone. As she was reading through the advisory…..she saw an advisory for possible hail. At this point, I told Semekia that I was going to stay for the awards and if she needed to leave…then do so. If she wins anything, we could meet up later and make sure she receives it. Semekia took me up on my offer and left to take her Roush north to Hendersonville.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Within the next 30 minutes, the weather around us started to change, and you could smell the rain coming. This was a time that was actually a blessing. The temps had hit the 90s and humidity was out of the roof. With the overcast starting to sit in and the wind kicking up a bit more, it really started to cool things off. </span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">When the rain started...it was a light drizzle and all of a sudden......the bottom dropped out! You can see from the pictures below. When the rain let go....it just poured down.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">At this point...all of us are really getting to know each other as we squeezed in under the awning inside the pavilion. Admittedly so, I have to say that the award ceremony was actually fun. While we were all huddled together in the pavilion and trying to stay comfortable making room for everyone to stay out of the rain, it actually wasn't that uncomfortable. The announcers starting talking and letting everyone know that the awards will be passed out very soon. It seemed to keep everyone at ease, and no one appeared to be getting to anxious in the tight quarters. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">As the flyer for the show stated, they passed out a first, second & third place plaque for each class. I sat and actually paid attention to what cars received an award for each class. This was a very different feeling. Usually, I wait eagerly for the announcer to get to the class I am in. I typically have a feeling of excitement and nervousness to find out how my cars may have fared against the competition...hoping and praying that I was fortunate enough to be awarded for all of the hard work that I have poured into my car, while at the same time mentally processing the competition I had in my class and constantly going back in forth with what I might have missed before the judging started.....Well, not this time. This time I was able to simply enjoy the show. While listing to the winners, I would try and recall a mental picture of the cars that won an award.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">It did take a community effort for passing out awards. When someone’s name was called, the plaque was passed back to you, and everyone of course showed respect and applauded the winner for each placement.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="" border="0" height="480" src="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/72/img1839sm.jpg" width="640" /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">While I was not waiting for my class to be called with the same vigor of most car shows, I still had to make sure I paid attention to the winners in class 18 (Mustang Original). They finished up Class 17 and was about to start on class 18. I was waiting to hear Semekia's name and thinking of how funny it’s probably going to be when everyone hears the name "Semekia" and then see a 5'10" middle age, overweight, balding white guy stand up to accept the award. Of course I kind of snickered to myself and think of how large Semekias's personality is...I figure everyone will actually still be looking around for her when I stand up becasue...I'm sure at some point, she has chatted with everyone with her great personality that isn't soon forgotten.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">I hear my name said, and I look at my wife because I was off daydreaming. At first thought....I was thinking she had said my name to remind me to pay attention. Well, as it turns out.....it was the announcers calling my name for the 3rd place award in class 18. I was in more shock pulling 3rd place at this show than when I got a best of show with my real car! With a feeling of being "awestruck," I stood up and accepted my award. Within seconds of accepting my award, they called Semekia for 2nd place. While I had a bit of mental comical relief prior to them calling winners for class 18....I was still in shock of winning an award and simply said I'm accepting that one too.........</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">As I sat back down and still feeling a bit of confusion from being taken off guard with an award, the gentlemen in front of me turned around and said..."It didn't look like you thought you were going to win that." All I could say is..."You haven't seen my car.."</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Winning an award at this show actually reminded me why I love entering car shows and why I enjoy them so much. I have evolved over the past few years into looking at car shows as a competitive sport (and still do deep inside)...but this show brought back that feeling I first got when I won my first car show award. I grew up figuring that I would never be able to afford a "Car Show" worthy vehicle. I always had a passion for all things automotive and would flip through car magazines like Hot Rod, Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords...even Classic Chevy, thumbing through them like it was an old Sears catalog at Christmas. I admired the feature cars and studied the pictures of an engine bay while paying close attention to the small details in those articles that made the car special enough to be in the magazine.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">When I won my first award with the 1999 Mustang GT....after I had 95% of it rebuilt, I had an emotion and thought of "I have finally arrived." I had become a member of an elite group of automotive historians and preservationist. With a car show....it’s not always about being the coolest cat on the block. It’s also not always about the person that was able to spend the most amount of money. A car show to me...is about showing your dedication to taking care of a car and being able to maintain, restore, modify with attention to detail. While I feel I have always taken care of my vehicles regardless of its intended service...daily driver, work truck...ect., ect., ect., winning an award today, informed me that I have truly learned how to take care of my car...Doing the car show circuit has taught me how to properly maintain a vehicle outside the bounds of running it through a car wash and proper mechanical maintenance. Rather, I have learned how to not only maintain a car....but, also how to take care of a car for the long haul with 100k on the clock.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Today's award is being dedicated to my Father. It took 36 years for me to understand that maintaining a car was not the same thing as taking care of a car. He always said to pour 100% into everything you do regardless of what it is. While I felt I was not going all out with my car today, it does look like I gave it 100%. For that, my dad would have been proud.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">I think it also brings back to the surface...no matter what you have..whether it’s a car, house, job, family...take pride in what you do have and take care of it. Regardless of the condition and/or state things are in, take care of what you do have and you will be rewarded (or in this case...awarded).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Normally I like to take pictures of the people I am with along with the awards with the cars. But, today...the weather just didn't allow for that. Below is a picture of the "Best of Trophies" and a picture of my plaque. The "Best of Trophies" were HUGE!......</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">After they finished with the plaques and trophies for the car show, they began the cash prize drawings. First they did the 50/50 with a take home pot of over $200. Then they began a drawing for the big money. When we registered cars, we all got a red ticket. This became the "Red Ticket" drawing. I was getting fairly excited. mainly because they were going to have a five $100 drawings, two $250 drawings, & one $500 drawing for a total of $1500 to be given away. I normally don't get excited about any of the "cash" drawings...mainly because the odds of winning a very low. But, with this one...it was only for the folks that registered cars. We all had an equal footing at an opportunity to take home some cash. While I was getting excited about the drawing and possible anticipation of winning, I had leaned over and told my wife..”When I was registering for the show and they handed me the ticket. I said I would donate the money back if I win.” It’s fair to say, she wasn't on board with that idea....so, we come to a compromise. Since she technically owns 100% of everything I got....oh, I mean 50% of everything I got, if I did win a cash prize...I could donate back 100% of my share...basically, 50% of the winnings. As luck would have it, I didn't win and probably could have kept my mouth shut about giving back the money. However, it was a great time and experience eagerly waiting to hear the drawing results.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b> <b><span style="font-size: large;">As a wrap up to the report, this car show will be put on my list of "Essential Car shows" to attend. Obviously, it has grown year after year and has a ton of room to grow in size. It is very well organized. It’s for a great cause and over all gets an "A" for the event. In the future....if they move from plaques up to trophies, that will net them an "A+" from me. As anyone that knows me....knows I like my double-posted tiered trophies. Overall, great experience and if the weather looks better next year, I will go ahead and break my golden rule of drive time for a car show and bring out the modified 1999 Mustang next year. If they do happen to bump up to an actually trophy for the regular classes....I'll most certainly drag out my wife and her Camaro as well. I'm pretty excited about doing the show again next year and look forward to reporting back with hopefully what will turn out to be an even bigger event!</span></b><br />

Approximately 7 Tractors & 5-6 Motorcycles with an approximate count of 105 Cars & Trucks.<br />
<br />
Wow....what a fantastic day this turned out to be. Weather was perfect, the surroundings of a sleepy town under a few large maple trees on the town square with weather in the mid 80's all morning up until about noon.............made for the perfect ending of car shows in the month of July 2012.<br />
<br />
This was the Fifth Annual Car show in Brownsville, KY to support "Relay for Life". A few interesting facts about Brownsville, KY. The town is only 1.6 square miles with a population that hoovers around the 950-1000 mark. Needless to say, this is truly a small town in the heart land of America. <br />
<br />
We started the day off here in Gallatin, TN at 6:00 a.m. heading north on hwy 31E toward Scottsville, KY. The morning's weather was very nice with temps around 75 and no real traffic to speak of, made the drive up to Scottsville a delight. By the time we had made it to Scottsville, KY and about to turn left on highway 101 toward "Smiths Grove, KY" the sun had become fully awake and setting a wonderful landscape across the hills of Kentucky. The drive down highway 101 from Scottsville to Smiths Grove is about 19 miles and still has an abeyance of a lost highway with the exception of maintained asphalt. Smiths Grove is located at exit number 38 on Interstate 65 in Kentucky. After making a Coffee stop in Smiths Grove, we continued the remaining 14 miles down highway 101 into Brownsville.<br />
<br />
As we came into Brownsville and started approaching the square. There was a man standing at the right turn to the square directing "show vehicles" where to turn. As we made the right hand turn and rolled up on the square. They had another person giving direction regarding how they would like you to back up to the side walk of the square and to back in straight. They had another volunteer standing on the side walk giving you an idea of how close you were to the sidewalk and respectfully told you when to stop the car. This was a nice treat, our cars were stopped with about 12 inches of space between our bumpers and the sidewalk. As I stepped out of my car and my wife got parked in her car. They let us know "when we are ready" where the registration was located.<br />
<br />
While my wife got our cars registered, I begin to unload the chairs and cleaning supply's. We arrived about 7:45 in the morning. Outside temps were still at a nice and enjoyable 78 degrees. With the aid of Maple and Oak trees casting a nice shade over the parking area of the square, I knew my clean up regimen was going to be nice and easy. I popped and raised the hoods on both cars, so I could take advantage of letting the engine bays cool off in the rare low temps and shade. When my wife returned from getting our cars registered. I asked if they had any classes or if she had gained any useful information regarding how the car show was going to be judged or what type of format the show was going to have. After she replied with "nope" and handed me a sheet that had my name and a number on it. I knew this was not going to be a show to have high concerns of perfection in way of clean up. I simply grab my towels for wiping the cars off, a few of my wheel cleaning rags, wax for the bugs that had met their untimely death on the drive up ...and my tire shine bottle. No need to bring out the big guns and unpack everything at this show, nor was their a need to prepare where I was going to be laying down to wax and wipe off chassis components. While I was cleaning up my car and hers....I got to know some of the locals that would walk up and talk about our cars while we had begin clean up. As I had finished wiping down the back of my car and was about to start on the wife's Camaro....I heard a too familiar rumble pulling into the square. As I looked up, I seen the wonderful smile of our friend Semekia. It always amazes me how she keeps that 2011 Roush looking so good.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture my wife grabbed of me making a a new friend while I was finishing the clean up on our cars. I only had two wheels left to do on the other side on my car and I was completely finished for the day. The individual with me in the picture. Had been with me while I was cleaning the wheels the Camaro and finishing up the drivers side of my car. I did not catch his name but, we talked about everything from motorcycles to old flat heads. He was truly a salt of the earth type of person.</div>

After clean up was done, it was time to enjoy the day. As the flyer stated for the show, they had a "Top 40" with plaques and "10 best of show" Trophies. Every plaque had a local sponsor and was printed on the plaque and/or trophy. As the time went by....other cars started showing up. I had registered as entry number 6 and my wife's car at 7. Semekia had showed up in time to register as number 14. I personally didn't think many more cars would show up. This was my first time in Brownsville, KY and I can't say....that they had very much around the town. However, as you can tell from the 117 registered vehicles. They actually had a very good turn out. As a matter of fact, If you think about the turn out of car registration and the towns population. Registration alone grew the towns population by about 10% for the day. Knowing, all of the trophy's had sponsors tied to them. They raised a minimum of $1,170 for "Relay for Life" just based off of the registered cars. Not a bad day for a small town fund raiser car show. I'm pretty sure the event coordinators had not anticipated a turn out of this scale either. They ran out of food about 11:30 that morning. Which was okay with me, as I had already had one cheeseburger and was returning for another because...it was a very good burger!<br />
<br />
Fairly wide verity of cars showed up. We had about 8 late model Mustangs. They had three 2010 and up Camaros. Probably 7-8 late model Corvettes. One truck stuck out for me. Someone had brought a 1994 Ford Lighting. It was a nice treat to check out a First gen Lighting. The rest was pretty much early American muscle.<br />
<br />
The event had a few exhibitor (Vender) booths outside but the majority of them were located inside of the community center. Bathrooms and concessions were also located inside the community center along with a live band. Below are a few pictures taken inside the community center. They had a fairly wide verity of venders inside. <br />

Judging was pretty simple and fast. I only watched them judge a few cars. They simply reached into the car, grabbed the sheet that had your name and "car number" on it. took a few steps back to look at the car. Walked off to the next car and performed the same routine. Take your sheet, step back...look at the car and move on. I could be wrong, but I am fairly confident this was not a point judging show. It was going to be a toss up to who may or may not get anything. As I sit under the maple tree enjoying the mid to high 80's weather and a nice calm breeze of 5-6 mph flowing through down town. I kept watching one of the vendor booths next to us. He had a tent set up and was doing some old school pin striping on a few pieces of old wood. Next to my wife's Camaro set on older but well done matte black Chevrolet pick up. I had watched the guy that was doing pin striping go over, set up and do some painting on this guys dash while at the show. I have personally always been a fan of "Old School Pin striping" but never really had anything to put it on. With the exception of a motorcycle helmet...but, I of course don't ride to car shows with my motorcycle helmet with hopes of getting it striped up. But, I could not pass up a chance of getting something done. After an hour or two of debating what I might have that would look good with pin strips. I gave up and decided to have my amp covers done. While "Old School Pin Striping" does not belong on any late model Mustang...and certainly does not flow well with my car. I think it turned out pretty well. It also added some "Old School Cool" to my car and I absolutely love it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of the amps covers getting painted. I decided on two colors. Black and grey.<br />

As the day came to a close, it was time for the awards. We all gathered around the main announcers tent and listen as they started calling off the Top 40 cars. He begin with..."These are in no particular order". The first 5-6 cars were 1930's and 1940's....I thought to myself, we are not going home with any plaques or trophies today. They went on through the list and had passed out about 20 of so plaques. Still haven't give anything away to a car manufactured before 1970. In the mist of leaning over to tell my wife I was going to put up our chairs while they did the awards....low and behold, Semekia was called up for a top 40 plaque. For the record. They did have a nice white Roush 5XR and a new 2013 Roush RS Mustang (the new V6 Roush). Neither of which placed in the top 40. So, as it turned out.........Semekia's Roush made an impression on the judges that the others did not. When they had finished giving out all of the top 40 plaques, I had came to terms...that I was not going to leave with anything in hand. Neither my 1999 Gt nor the 2010 Camaro made a big enough impact on the judges to be honored with an award. In all fairness, neither did 60 other very nice cars and trucks on the field. I was very happy that at least one out of our group of three had gotten something. At this pint they had started giving out the "specialty best of show" awards. I was ready to go finish packing up. I have personally never got a "Best of Show". I have always been a strict points show car winner. I leaned over again to tell my wife "I'm going to go finish packing up". She of course says no and reminds me who the boss is. So, I stay and respectfully clap for all of the other show winners. As they are starting to finish up, I hear my name called for a "Best of show 1980's & up all cars". As I was in a bit of shock...I humbly walk up to except my purple trophy with gold stars..............<br />
<br />
As a wrap up to the report. This car show is an event worth checking out. Its not the best organized event in way of handing out awards or even the judging process...(which I'm pretty sure they had some type of system, just don't really know what it was. I'm fairly confident.....based off of Semekia and I winning something. The car had to stand out in some form or fashion and appeal to one of the judges). I will probably go back next year but with a completely different approach. I will most differently only take my car because a perfect stock Camaro just isn't going to pull an award. i can simple donate an extra 10 bucks that I would have paid for two cars instead of one...I may even through another 10 bucks in the donation for the gas that would be saved by only taking one car. However, I would not anticipate winning a best of show again.......nor would I anticipate winning a top 40 with my car. But, I would go back because this years experience even without the awards....was a very good one!<br />

<br />
Sunday was by far the hottest day on which I have attended a car show to date. With temps exceeding 100 degrees.....this turned into a day with great debate of packing it in and going home. However, I had my eye on the prize and couldn't bring myself to leave that little red trophy for someone else to win! We are definitely in the "Dog Days of Summer".<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/928997/fullsize/sn158721.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
Registered cars were approximately 115<br />
<br />
This was the 6th annual Car Show and the 4th installment of 8 that Wilson Bank and Trust are affiliated with this year. The show was hosted in the parking lot of the bank. Unlike other Wilson Bank and Trust shows this year, they did not have much property around the bank to utilize for participant parking. If in the future, anyone ever plans to attend this event...arrive early unless you want to run a chance of being thrown out in the middle of nowhere. I think they had pushed the limit with 115 cars, and they packed them in pretty tight.<br />
<br />
One aspect that I always enjoy with Wilson Bank & Trust car shows with the help of the AACA...the registration is always simple. After registering for the event, you simply pull around and park. No one directed a specific spot for the class you're in and where they wanted you to park. I did try to double park and was later asked to move over and take up one space instead of two. No doubt this turned out to be a required request. They had the typical 48 classes with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class. It is a point system, which gives the show an opportunity to have multiple 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place for each class (I actually figure a lot of this is based on how many classes do NOT have cars registered in them...in other words....the amount of left over trophies they will have). At registration, I was asked to write down the color of my car in the corner of the registration sheet. I was told this was to insure they had all of the cars judged when they added up the points after judging. This was a first for me but my wife said she had always done it with her Camaro. Maybe I hadn't been paying attention in the past. I am convinced that judging sheets had been lost in the past. Especially given the results of a few car shows earlier in the year with some much deserved cars not placing in a class.<br />
<br />
They had a live band playing on one side of the bank, but they also had typical "Sock Hop" music playing on our side of the bank. I honestly did not pay much attention to what venders were at the event. The only time I walked around to the vendor area was when I was going to buy more water or food. It was so hot that day, by the time I got around the bank to the "Food" booth, I already had tunnel vision from heat exhaustion. I do recall vendors selling assorted girly stuff inside the bank. You could also go inside and get free popsicles. They did have the typical "inflatable" slides for kids and a few other small games for kids with a "misting" tent. Also, they had a pink port-a-potty for women.<br />
<br />
In other words..........IT WAS FREAKING HOT!<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Class 25: Cars 1988-2001-all</b></span><br />
<br />
Registered cars in class 25<br />
<br />
1. 1999 Mustang GT (Me)<br />
2. 1993 Camaro<br />
<br />
Results of the above, I got 1st and the Camaro got 2nd. I have to admit, I figured I would get 2nd place in this one. For some reason, my driver side window stopped working on Sunday. So, instead of rolling both windows up half way, I rolled the passenger side up all the way while drivers side was all the way down. I was hoping this would balance out as half...lol. I have no clue if the logic worked or I simply got more points in other areas...but I did get 1st.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Class 26: Cars 2002-Present-all</b></span><br />
<br />
Registered cars in class 26<br />
<br />
1. 2010 Camaro SS (my wife)<br />
2. 2010 Challenger Black in color<br />
3. 2007 GT500 (RootsBlownSVT)<br />
4. 2012 Roush<br />
5. 2010 Mustang GT<br />
6. 2010 Challenger Silver in color<br />
7. 2004 Impala SS<br />
8. 2012 Challenger White in color<br />
<br />
Results of the above, Tina pulled 1st place and RootsBolwnSVT for SVTgarage.com pulled 3rd. I don't recall what other cars placed, but it was not like the other shows we had been at. In the past, it was common to see Class 26 have 2 or 3 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. The best I can recall.....I think class 26 only had a tie in 2nd or a tie in 3rd. Might of had a tie in both....they rattled them off pretty fast but it did not have 6 or 7 winners in class 26 like I had seen in the past shows this year. However, competition in class 26 was pretty stiff. They had some very clean and taken care of cars in that class.<br />

SVTgarage milestone</span></u></i></b><br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/928990/fullsize/sn158714.jpg" /><br />
It was a momentous occasion Sunday. The first official inaugural unveiling of the "SVTgarage banner." It is a very attractive clean design on the banner. I really like the fact that it does not have any "in your face" type of graphics on it. The banner has a large tachometer with "SVTgarage" swooshing off at 8000 rpms.<br />
<br />
While the day was long and hot, gathering under the SVTgarage tent offered the required relief. During the earlier part of the day, I would clean a little and come to the tent to cool off between my cleaning regiment and the feeling of passing out. A few times I got worried with one of our garage members, Kim, looked a little white a few times. All of us did manage to make it though the day without having to make a trip to the hospital. Without Tim & Kim at the show, this would have been a blistering miserable day with regret of even going to the car show.<br />

<br />
Saturday turned out to be a pretty nice day for lounging around at this event. We only had a few moments during the day that seemed too hot to be out and we did get spit on by the rain one time but nothing major.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/927744/fullsize/sn158624.jpg%20alt=" title="SN158624.JPG" /> <br />
<br />
<br />
Registered cars were approximately 18<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if this was the first year for this event or not. But, if they decide to grow the event.....they will need more space. While we only had 18 or so cars to show up. It would have only fit another 7-8 cars in the lower parking lot.....where they had directed everyone to park.<br />
<br />
Registration was very simple and painless. Easy to see signs and they also had people at the entrance directing you where to drive. As we pulled in off of the highway, we drove up the hill. Stopped at the reregistration tent. Filled out a simple information card and drove back down the hill on the other side of the church. Down to the lower parking lot that had a front side view of the main road. They had people to help guide you while backing into a space......(that's always a nice treat). They only had two classes and a total of six trophies. The two classes were.....Motorcycle and Car/Truck. No judging at this event. It was 100% voting for crowds choice and then they had a "pastor choice" award. Upside to this event, it was absolutely free..............zero registration fee. Door prizes in way of gift cards went on through the day for visitors of the event with a "car show" attendees door prizes that were handed out just prior to the trophies being awarded. The music for the day was...for the most part pleasant. They did mix up the playlist to a few things beyond "sock hop" and Elvis songs. At one time I was duped with one song. The announcer asked that we remove our hats for the national anthem. While I was in mid stride of wiping down the side of my car...I took off my hat. Stood up straight and then they played Lynyrd Skynyrd. Feeling like a total moron...I chuckled to myself and went back to wiping on my car. The concession stand was simple and very reasonably priced. I don't recall everything they offered on the menu but I do recall...they did not have hamburgers. However, they did have hot dogs and homemade ice cream. The hot dogs were good and from what I heard...the homemade ice cream was tasty also.<br />

<br />
They had two inflatable slides there with one having a little pool at the bottom. The bathrooms were located inside the church at the top of the hill. But, the church had a nice double seater golf cart to transport folks up and down the hill.<br />
<br />
While no one from SVTgarage.com got any trophies. Three of us did manage to take home gift cards from the event. Tim, Brett and myself got the win on those with a total cash value of $65 collectively.<br />
<br />

<br />
<u><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>It's official</b></span></i></u><br />
<br />
I'm breaking out of my die hard intentful trophy winning spirit of only attending car shows with judging and trophies. Now added to my list....will be relaxing days at "show & shine" events...such as this one. That will have members of the garage in attendance. One could considered this event...more of an "SVT Garage" get together. We accounted for 1/3rd of the total turn out for the event. <br />
<br />
With this being the 2nd event that had a good "SVT Garage" turnout. I feel that I was able to get to know everyone on more of a personal level, that went beyond a common interest of cars.<br />
<br />
The line up of SVTGarage.com members in attendance were:<br />

<br />
<br />
We also had two "Honorary" members of the garage. Brett's fiance accompanied him. Bryan's wife also came out to spend the day with us. Both of which....provided even more opportunity to learn more about our garage members.<br />
<br />
This was my first opportunity to check out the modifications done on ShelbyGT500 (Bryan) had performed to the GT500. I really dig the side louvers and "Shelby" accessory caps under the hood. The shifter knob does look a ton better in person then on the forum. I am now a big fan of the hood struts, after eye balling them on both Brayn's car and Steve's...this may be something I look into for the '99. I'm just going to have to see someone with them on a new edge. If they look as clean and factory as they do on those two cars...I'm definitely investing in a pair. I wait with much anticipation for seeing the radiator cover on Bryan's car. Hopefully, when I get a chance to see the radiator cover installed on Bryan's car...he will not bring the rain with him again............lol<br />
<br />
It was a pleasure to meet SVTBrad (Brad) for the first time. Brad has a Lightning model truck with a very interesting back story. I encourage everyone to meet up with Brad. You must see what this truck has become after Brad acquired it, especially knowing he had to clean "growing moss" off of it. I would go into more detail on the truck but that would take away from the experience of seeing the Lightning and hearing the story in person. Also, keep an eye out for his dirty little secret lurking under the tonneau cover in the bed! Brad is a real sharp shooter...both figuratively and literally.<br />
<br />
SteveStang10 (Steve)....arrived fashionably late. From what I understand...this is a little out of character for Steve...considering he really likes to get from point "A" to point "B" with much haste! As Tim pointed out in a previous post. We all got to actually confirm...Steve's car does in fact...have a top! However, with the top down on Steve's car...no one can get bored of seeing how good that windscreen looks. Steve uses a very clever device to "prop" his hood up with. While he doesn't need one with the aftermarket hood struts installed.......He claims it is to prevent a hard gush of wind from slamming down the hood. I think we all know its to be used in the event he is recognized for taking home the "Big Dog" trophy at Mustang Mania. Gives him something to reach for to beat back the fans...or simply whip out to beat the competition. Knowing that Steve is always "walking tall".....I would feel secure attending any event with him even in the sketchiest of areas............<br />
<br />
Cobra097 (Brett) manage to throw me off balance very early in the morning.......before the car show even started! I was traveling down highway 70 from 109. Headed to meet up with Bryan and Tim at Dunkin Donuts. When I was approached by what first appeared to be a sleek red Saleen...but, then I noticed a cobra badge in the grill and figured it was just a confused horse. I was quickly distracted by the driver flailing his arm out of the car....I soon realized it wasn't a confused Mustang trying to figure out if its a Saleen or a Cobra, but rather...a confused driver headed in the wrong direction. Apparently Brett was going to his fiance's house. While Brett was accomplishing this said task...he also manage to make me second guess my sense of direction....forcing me to rapidly fumble through my hand written address and double check my GPS directions....Thanks Brett! <br />
<br />
I also learned that Brett and I have more in common then an admiration for the Saleen style new edge Mustangs. We also share the same taste in clothing apparel and how it should be worn. While...for most fashion critics...they would give Brett a free pass on his style. A few might consider my shared views of style to Brett's as inexcusable...for we don't share the same deficits in the reasoning behind our choose of clothing. It appears that for me.....simply having "Bad Taste" isn't a good enough reason. However, if you would like to know why Brett also feels that wearing plaid shorts and sporting a pair of dress socks pulled up to his knees should be excepted for public viewing........you will have to meet up with Brett at an event and gather under the tent.<br />
<br />
Last but certainly not least....the ring leaders of our "Motley Crew". Tim and Kim were in high spirits as usual. Even after meeting both of them numerous times prior to this event. I am still learning new things about each. For example, I was able to learn....Kim actually has a bit of "antisocial" tendencies and a phobia of people setting to close.....HA! (told you I would get that one in....) Tim is quickly becoming the groups "MacGyver"...whipping off his belt in a dier time of need to strap the tent to a pole for wind stability. Even with Kim's social anxiety....she does have passion in her heart for the tiniest of creatures. We all took a moment of silence, to mourn the passing of a squirrel......that had successfully crossed over to the other side with Tim's help on the drive up to the event.<br />
<br />
As you can make out from the Shows review. The day turned into something beyond a general cruise in. It become an SVT Garage gathering of members. For me, those members are quickly becoming more then a "profile" that I've come to know from various postings on the site. Rather...you all are becoming my friends that are no longer categorized by user names. Getting to know each of you beyond a "cyberspace social media"...is becoming a truly joyful experience.<br />
<br />
I will most certainly go back to this low keyed event as long as SVT Garage members will be present.....<br />

<br />
It was a fantastic day!<br />
<br />
Registered cars this year came in at 114. They announced it was up from last years 94<br />
<br />
While "Mustang Mania" is on its 4th year. You can certainly see they are still just getting their feet wet with the event. As we pulled in off of the highway, they were trying to get people "registered" and taking up the fees for the show. Initially, we had a few decisions to make when filling out the paper work...in way of, what body (build platform), Driven or trailered, Stock, Modified, Special (SVT, Roush, ect, ect,). It would have also been useful, if they would have had options or directions on the registration sheet with a guideline to what the build platforms are what they were asking. I simply said; "New Edge, Generation 4, SN-95....what are you asking for". The responses was..."I think we have been using New Edge". I personally just chuckled a little to myself and went on. I already knew that the lady that had asked the question had no real idea what she was asking for. While a lot of people know what a Fox body is.......... Their are a lot of people that don't know what Generations these cars fall under. We all hear the "nicknames" given to them or the "code names"...but unlike the GM fanatics out there....Mustang owners don't always keep up with the Generation classification of the cars. Below is the "official" year a generation build for reference.<br />
<br />
Generation 1: 1964 1/2 - 1973<br />
Generation 2: 1974 - 1978<br />
Generation 3: 1979 - 1993<br />
Generation 4: 1994 - 2004<br />
Generation 5: 2005 - 2012<br />
<br />
Also, keep in mind. While the above is the official Generation list. It has sub-groups inside of those classifications.<br />
<br />
As the cars piled in, it was announced that they had a "miss hap" and the event will only have two classes...still divided up by "Generations" but they will only have modified and stock class. The specialty cars (SVT, Roush, GT500) had to choose...stock or modified. It is certainly in the owners best interest to choose Stock rather then Modified for the specialty cars...unless, they are heavily modified. I can only speculate to the reason for this but my best guess....not enough trophies. Short of that guess, it may have been a break down in communication between the event organizers and the Mustang club that was helping with the judging. As it was later announced that the show was being judged using "MCA" (Mustang Club of America) guidelines. They clearly did not have the separate judging sheets for Generation 1 through 5 and or the separate sheets for Shelby and Roush cars. Registration started at 9:00 a.m. and judging begin at 10:00 a.m. Normally this would have been the strangest move on the earth at a car show...but, if you were not ready to be judged. You could simply close your hood and/or trunk...or just tell them when they came around that you are not ready. Judging did go on all day. When they thought they had judged everyone's car....they announced a request..that all owners check for a sticker on the headlight to insure all cars had been judged.<br />
<br />
The show had a lot of late model SVT Cobras, Late model Roushs, Approximately 5-6 Bullitt & a number of GT500's. We had two Saleen tribute (clone). It had One true Saleen that was actually the Cobra/Saleen from a soon to be member of our garage. We can all thank Tim for that rare find. The show even had an older Mustang II, which was a rare treat. Not including the Saleen/Cobra......the rarest cars on the field were "true stock none special addition" late model mustangs. Of which...we also had one from our garage. The show had more V-6 model Mustangs in it then any show I've been to this year....again, one of which was a member to the garage.<br />
<br />
It was a hot day Saturday but with Tim bringing the tent...it helped cool things off a great deal. I have to say...for myself. The highlight of the day was spending time under the tent talking with everyone and getting to know each other better. The awards and opportunity to check out what other people have done with Mustangs was just a bonus. This event is without a doubt catered to a "Car Show" enthusiast with a passion for Mustangs. It had nothing in regards to activities for the family. lol.......it didn't even have vendors to sell any consumer type goods. For me, if the folks from the garage hadn't showed up. It would have made for a very long day. The food was not very good (again, my opinion). Absolutely no time killing activity's... BUT, I could not have asked for better company and because of that...this event has become the best event to date for me!<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/926526/fullsize/sn158547.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
<br />
As noted above. They announced the show would be judged using "MCA" guidelines. This is a good thing and a bad thing....mainly bad because I wasn't prepared for "MCA" judging rules. It was also a bad thing...becasue, I don't think they were prepared for "MCA" guidelines either. Umm......Not prepared for what it takes to judge that many different Mustangs using "MCA" guidelines. It is.....on the other hand a good thing for how each car gets judged.<br />
<br />
Without getting into a great deal of detail. Also, while trying to wrap my head around how they actually executed the judging using "MCA" guidelines. Below is an outline of what "MCA" judging is and how they possible used this as a foundation for the event.<br />
<br />
MCA CLASSIFICATION<br />

<br />
Keeping in mind the classifications posted above with "MCA" guidelines. Not everyone can hold a 3 day event. So, it kind of becomes a pick and choose type deal of what and how you want to lump these classes. As we all found out. The Event simply went with "Stock" or "Modified"<br />

Each bullet point above represents a Rule book for judging that category. It also takes a heck of a person to be able to judge every make and model based on these guidelines. So, I figure Saturday was a mix of...If they know its not a stock component...you got hit on it. Unless, they said...they would allow "X" amount of mods. I didn't pay attention if they announced it or not for "Stock" class.<br />
<br />
Also, they announced it was on a 100 point system. This has to be the old guidelines. As, MCA is a 200 point system.<br />
<br />
Below is a copy of an Abbreviated judging sheet for Stock class<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5392/judgesheet1.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
The way to read the points for above in a "Stock" class is as follows. Every car gets full points. Its the approach of, getting a point deduction. Not the approach of...earning points.<br />
<br />
So, with a stock class. You start out with full points.<br />
<br />
With a Modified class. You start out with zero and earn points.<br />
<br />
For the awards to be earned in "MCA". Its a base of meeting "X" amount of points. Not a matter of who got the highest points in the Class.<br />
<br />
For example. Using the "National Point system" for MCA. Which is a 700 point system. You have to obtain or...better put, retain a percentage of the 700 points to get an award.<br />
<br />
Concours Trailered<br />
Gold 97%<br />
Silver 94%<br />
Bronze 91%<br />
<br />
Concours Driven<br />
Gold 95%<br />
Silver 90%<br />
Bronze 85%<br />
<br />
Thoroughbred<br />
Gold 98%<br />
Silver 96%<br />
Bronze 94%<br />
<br />
Unrestored<br />
Gold 95%<br />
Silver 90%<br />
Bronze 85%<br />
<br />
I don't think they used or Judged anyone under the above classifications Saturday. That is strictly...the best of the best and takes a very special person to judge based off of Concourse rules. It can take 15-30 minutes to Judge a car based on Concourse.<br />
<br />
All of us were judged as follows...listed below. Well, let me re state that. We were "loosely" judged based off of the following.<br />
<br />
MCA<br />
OCCASIONAL DRIVEN AND DAILY DRIVEN<br />
<br />
These classes are placed First, Second and Third with no minimum point requirements.<br />
<br />
<b>Occasional Driven</b><br />
1st - Within 3 points of lowest points deducted - All get 1st.<br />
2nd - Exact number of points.<br />
3rd - Exact number of points.<br />
<br />
<b>Daily Driven</b><br />
1st - Within 3 points of lowest points deducted - All get 1st.<br />
2nd - Exact number of points.<br />
3rd - Exact number of points.<br />
<br />
Example 1<br />
Car 170 zero points deducted 1st place<br />
Car 255 one point deducted 1st place<br />
Car 200 two points deducted 1st place<br />
Car 289 three points deducted 2nd place<br />
Car 302 four points deducted 3rd place<br />
<br />
(Remember zero is a number, so car 170, 255, and 200 within three points, car 289 is four points from the best, so outside the three point margin, gets 2nd place.)<br />
<br />
Example 2<br />
Car 390 plus one points 1st place<br />
Car 351 one point deducted 1st place<br />
Car 250 two points deducted 2nd place<br />
Car 428 two points deducted 2nd place<br />
Car 429 two points deducted 2nd place<br />
Car 140 three points deducted 3rd place<br />
Car 260 three points deducted 3rd place<br />
Car 327 four points deducted no award<br />
(Car 390, 351 are within three points, but car 250 is four points from best +1, 0,-1= three points, so two points deducted goes into 2nd place. Multi winners in 2nd and 3rd only by ties)<br />
<br />
The actual guidelines they used Saturday for Judging....while in concept is simple (only having two classes). Can be very difficult to really figure out how they pulled it off. Because it was a mix of everything but only using the easiest (least time consuming) judging methods.<br />
<br />
I figure...as they stated. Each car was compared to itself. So, all stock cars started with 100 points and got deductions based off of what would not be stock and/or clean and/or in mint condition. If the judge was familiar with the generation car they were looking at...I would guess, it got judged fully. If not, then it was a guess. It also looks like they used a percentage of points retained to decide first, second or third (Gold, Silver, Bronze). I have no clue what the percentage would be.<br />
<br />
To give you an idea of how to properly judge a car using MCA guidelines. I have copied and pasted a section out of the 2005-2012 Judging rule book....I copied the section for the "Trunk" as it was the shortest section. With MCA judging rules. They list everything about the car and what maximum point deductions would be for everything. Nothing is left up to guess regarding the car and what should or should not be deducted for something. The entire rule book for 2005-2012 is 15 pages long. Covers everything from seat belts, sun visors, proper antenna, orange peel on the paint down to the requirement of using a "BXT40R or BXT96R battery and if not...you get an automatic 6 point deduction for engine compartment.<br />
<br />
Below is a portion taken out of the Judging rule book for the Trunk "2005-2012"<br />
<br />
<b>TRUNK Points</b><br />
<br />
A. Mat, Trunk Covering and Tire Cover Board:<br />
Mat and covering required for coupes and convertibles.<br />
Engine start decal must be in place. Proper masonite board for year and model.<br />
<br />
Escape handle........................................................................................................5<br />
Quality of workmanship, condition and cleanliness.........................................................3<br />
<br />
B. Convertible Boot and Storage Bag: Proper type for year and model...............................2<br />
Quality of workmanship, condition and cleanliness.........................................................2<br />
<br />
C. Wiring: Proper type for year and model. Routed in original position, from behind right<br />
hinge, along trunk lid towards center of trunk lid..........................................................2<br />
Quality of workmanship, condition and cleanliness........................................................2<br />
<br />
D. Painted Surfaces in Trunk: Must match exterior color................................................3<br />
Quality of workmanship, condition and cleanliness........................................................2<br />
<br />
E. Hinges and Lift Supports: Proper type for year and model.<br />
Quality of workmanship, condition and cleanliness........................................................2<br />
<br />
F. Trunk Weather-strip, and Trunk Latch: Original style, mounted in original location..........2<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Point Deductions for any other items not proper or original</b>.....................................2<br />
<br />
With everything added up for the above. You start out with 25 points for the trunk. Then, the most you can get deducted is....5 points for not having the "Escape handle"...or deducted becasue the Escape handle has a chrome cover. Now, in some local car shows that don't do a "stock" class or "Modified" class. You might get a point for having a chrome cover or it may not matter at all. They may look at 3 of the same year model mustangs at local events a decide the one with a chrome escape handle has more of a "bling" factor and decide it gets more "Trunk" points then the other two cars. Heck, a judge may think the "bling" factor is tacky and deduct points for it...again, at local car shows with no real rules regarding how they judge a car. Regarding the judging Saturday...........Something as easily seen as a latch release was probably taken in to count. However, unless they had a judge that knew the proper routing of the wiring harness for the trunk lid...that aspect didn't get a second thought..and probably could have been completely missing with no point deduction.<br />
<br />
<b>Modified <br />
<br />
</b>Modified class can get real tough with MCA rules. It does leave the door open for "taste". We get judged in the same areas as everyone else. But, we need to have modifications done somewhere to everything. Suspension, Body, wheels and tires, exhaust, Engine, Interior. If someone enters a modified class and they don't have extensive modifications to the entire car. They would have been better off staying in the stock class and getting a deduction. Also, all clone cars are put in modified class. While an original car that someone would want to clone...will always be put in "Stock" class. Below is the rule book for Modified.<br />
<br />
If I would have been prepared Saturday for MCA style judging...I would have been able to get 10 bonus points easily out of the gate. All I needed was my MCA windshield sticker and a typed list of modifications. The sticker is worth 1 point and a typed list outlining modifications is worth 9 points.<br />
<br />
MODIFICATIONS - DEFINED<br />
<b>Simple Modification</b>: Simple dress and trim parts that are snapped, pressed or twisted on and require no special fasteners or hardware for attachment, and are generally replacing parts easily removed in a like manner. Each modification would be worth 1 point.<br />

Even with everything said above. The event Saturday was a great car show for me. While I am the type person that only goes to a car show with intent and effort to win a trophy. I don't really get wrapped up in placement. i don't get overly excited about 1st, 2nd, 3rd....It does feel good to get 1st. But, I always go home...sit and look at my car trying to figure out what I need to fix if I get 3rd. When I get 2nd place....I chalk that up to a good day. <br />
<br />
I have been to a lot of shows that I couldn't figure out and I've been to a few that were very easy to figure out. But, at the end of the day. I always have to keep in mind. These events a mostly poorly thought out for execution and the most thought process that went in to one was during the conceptual "brain storm" of...hey, lets put on a car show. The event coordinators are doing the best they can considering...they rarely get paid to do it and most of the coordination is done during someones "spare" time.<br />
<br />
I would put "Mustang Mania" in a category of...."A good car show" to attend. The event is a step above most local "car show" events with how much effort and thought they are trying to put into judging the cars. At the very least, they are trying to create some type of standard for judging the cars instead of looking around and flipping a coin.<br />
<br />
Most of all...as I noted 3 or 4 post ago...My favorite part of the day was meeting everyone and getting a chance to chat with all of you. This is the only show I can honestly say...."If I wouldn't have placed, it would have still made for a great day".<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from the event.<br />

Summary of the show.............. 120 cars <br />
<br />
This was the First Annual Car show in Gallatin, TN. Sponsored by Wilson Bank & Trust. Just like all the rest this year in way of classes and judging performed with assistance from the Antique Automobile club of America.<br />
<br />
One exception to this event vs the others this year.............. The Sumner County "chapter", Sumner County Vintage Vehicle Club. Was the group that actually did the judging for this event. I also made the assumption that the show would be ran just like all the other "Wilson Bank and Trust" car shows had been.<br />
<br />
A. Register your car<br />
B. Directed to where to park<br />
C. Clean up begins<br />
D. Judging around noon<br />
E. Awards around 3:00 p.m.<br />
<br />
I was mistaken! This event was drive through judging. Process was as followed.<br />
<br />
A. Pull in Register the car<br />
B. Pull up and get judged<br />
C. Directed where to park<br />
D. Feeling lost because I no longer have any real justification to clean the road debris off of my car<br />
E. Cleaning my car because I felt out of place not having anything to do...........<br />
F. Waiting for awards<br />
G. Waiting even longer for awards<br />
H. Thinking about going home and taking a nap<br />
I. Taking a nap in my chair<br />
J. Waking up and realizing its only 10:00 a.m. with 5 more hours for awards<br />
K. Walking around to see what the competition looks like<br />
L. Getting frustrated because no one put the class sheet in the windshield of the cars...because they had already been judged.<br />
M. Realized that I also did not put my classification sheet in my windshield...because I had already been judged<br />
N. Looked at the time and made a mental note that its only 10:30 with 4 and a half hours to go.<br />
<br />
O. Came to terms with the fact; My car show rituals had been knocked way out of whack and I needed to calm down...........enjoy the day.<br />
<br />
It was actually a very nice relaxing day (After I was able to regroup my typical process and come to terms with having no process for this show). When we pulled through for the judging, they said they are not judging for cleanliness. Which makes sense for most concourse type judging....not so much for the classes at this show....well, not so much for the classes that 1988 and up cars have to be in. I plan on making a post of how car shows work and explain more on why judging a car that's not being picked apart for cleanliness makes sense. For now and with this post.........just go with it.<br />
<br />
My class Cars 1988-2001- All. Was very light. I think I only had one other one in my class...maybe two. I did pull first place, but it still felt weird having someone judge my car when I hadn't cleaned it up.<br />
<br />
Brand X's class 2002-Present-All had about 10-13 cars in it. (Its real easy to recognize newer model cars). In her class, we had one more Camaro. At least 7-8 Challengers and Chargers and a few Corvettes. Dodge ruled the show for late model cars showing up. Brand X pulled 2nd in this show (This was the 2nd time in 3 years, Approximately 13 car shows.............for her to not pull first).<br />
<br />
<br />
They had the "game truck" there for the kids to play "PlayStation and Xbox" games. Also had the big inflatable slides. 3 different vendors for food and drinks. (I personally went across the street to McDonald's for my morning Coffee). They had a small petting zoo on site. It had some baby goats, one of those tiny horses. Also had a llama, some type of miniature cow and a minuter donkey. A few "tent vendors" selling all the important and useful stuff...such as Jewelery, pocket books and other crap...um, I mean other useful stuff.<br />
<br />
Also, another event going on across the street. Was a fund raiser for a little girl that had a very rare bone <i>disease</i> . Its called Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). sometimes referred to as Stone Man Syndrome, is an extremely rare disease of the connective tissue. A Mutation of the body's repair mechanism causes fibrous tissue muscle, tendon, and ligament to be ossified when damaged. In many cases, injuries can cause joints to become permanently frozen in place. Most of the time I will try and spend my money with the vendors that show up at a car show. Mainly because they typically have to spend money to be there. But, on this day....I felt compiled to donate my money for a good cause. They also had the best grilled burgers I have ever had at any event. Brand X also participated in a silent auction at the fund raiser and won a little desk clock that looks like an old phone.<br />

Here are some pictures of the car show. I tried to take a few "vantage Point" pictures to give an idea of the turn out. Couldn't really get any that I thought looked good...so, what you see is what you get.<br />
<br />
In way of Mustangs. Not too many showed up. I took pictures of the ones that did. Absolutely no late model Stangs showed up at this one (2005-up)<br />

<span class="titleSml"><span class="titleSml"><br />
</span></span> <span class="titleSml"><span class="titleSml">Below are the classes that we entered the cars in and the competition.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
Run down of the show <br />
<br />
Last year they had 278 cars. They announced it was 247 cars this year. For the most part, its a pretty good show and I may go back again. It just seems to be one of those years....where its either going to rain out a show, or...its going to be 98 degrees. Yesterday was one of those days. It just kept getting hotter as the day went on.<br />
<br />
Classification 25 (Cars 1988-2001-all)<br />
<br />
1997 Pontiac Firebird (3rd)<br />
2001 Prowler (1st)<br />
1999 Mustang GT---me-------(2nd)<br />
1997 Cobra<br />
<br />
Apparently I missed something on mine. When I checked out the prowler...I didn't see anything that would have made me worry. That's the way it goes..........<br />
<br />
Now in Brand "X"'s category. I was really sweating 3 of the Corvettes and one of the Challengers. Turns out, only one of the three Corvette's that I was worried about even placed and the Challenger that had me worried.....wasn't the one that tied for first. <br />
<br />
If it wouldn't have been so hot. I would have walked to town where all of the good events were happening. Maybe next year (if I go again) I'll make it over to the downtown celebration.<br />
<br />
As for the other cars at the show. I seen a few of the usual suspects that we all see. But, I seen a lot of cars that I had never seen at shows and a few cars that I had never heard of. This show had the most..."Older Classics" then any show I've attended. One car that comes to mind...was an old "Marlin". Maybe I've lived a sheltered life...but, I never knew any car had been put into production called a "Marlin". That's an example of some other cars at the show.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is our 2010 Camaro <br />

</h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">This show had great potential for a great day..........D*mn weather!</span><br />
<h2 class="title icon">
</h2>
<br style="font-weight: normal;" />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Not many people at all......Maybe 20 cars showed up. Really hated to see that. They had free "blow up" type stuff for the kids. Jousting ring for the kids. Even had a climbing wall. Great food options (wasn't free of course).</span><br />
<h2 class="title icon">
</h2>
<br style="font-weight: normal;" />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Only three of us showed up with Mustangs. I took 2nd in comparison to a Roush "Black Jack" that took a very well deserved 1st. The only other Mustang was a Roush 427 R and he pulled 3rd.</span><br />
<h2 class="title icon">
</h2>
<br style="font-weight: normal;" />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Brand X got 1st over a '67 Camaro. The '67 was a gear heads dream. Had a big block with an 8-71 blower. For those that don't know......the 8-71 blower is unbelievably huge!</span><br />
<h2 class="title icon">
</h2>
<br style="font-weight: normal;" />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> "All-in-all"...it wasn't a bad day. Just wasn't a great day. The temp was perfect but the occasional drizzle, kept me busy. Brand X also manage to lock my keys in the car after rolling up the windows becasue of ran...big thumbs up on that one...lol</span><br />
<h2 class="title icon">
</h2>
<br style="font-weight: normal;" />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> I didn't take many pictures today...actually forgot to take any of our cars. But, I did grab a shot of the other two Roush's before we left.</span><br />
<h2 class="title icon">
</h2>
<br style="font-weight: normal;" />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> This was the 2nd time I have run into "Bill" the owner of the Black Jack Roush. Fantastic guy. I'm sure if any of you have the pleasure to meet him...you'll agree he is great company. He is an older retired aviation gentlemen.</span><br />
