Well, all of the time and effort was well worth it! What
a show! I would like to thank everyone for coming, we had
an awesome display that folks will be talking about for
years. All three of the known two-tone (V02) T/As were there,
that in itself was awesome!
Thanks for everyones patience as well, I know that
not everything went smoothly. The Carlisle staff did not
have a complete (or accurate) list of everyone who pre-registered
for the show, so not everyone entitled to the Anniversary
Plaque showed up on the list. There are a few left unclaimed,
so if you pre-registered for the event but have not received
a plaque please contact me right away with a copy of your
pre-registration receipt and I will get your plaque to you.
I also apologize if I missed you, there were a whole lot
more of you there this year and only one of me, folks were
standing in line waiting fairly often. It was very hectic
at times, I wish there had been more time to spend with
each of you. It was good seeing old friends again, meeting
other registered members in person for the first time and
meeting several new ones too.
Special Thanks
Thanks also to all of YOU! Thanks for coming guys and gals,
clap yourselves on the back, together we ALL put on one
heck of a show.
Very special thanks go out to Sam Posey, he is not in the
best of health, but he was a trooper signing autographs
and answering questions. He had a great time. He told several
folks he was honored to be there.
Special thanks also to Jeff Bangert at www.transamcuda.com
for doing his part to put this whole thing together.
Special thanks also to Lisa Leatherly on the Carlisle staff,
she was great to work with! Jeff Bangert and I presented
Lisa and the rest of the Carlisle staff with a wall plaque
and a basket of Hersheys chocolate items at a luncheon
on Saturday. It was the very least we could do to thank
the Carlisle staff for eagerly hosting our event.
Special thanks to Dennis Drake and Ann Seip as well, they
both helped me at the show more than they know.
So, how many cars made
it?
Well, it was so big that it was hard to get an accurate
count actually. I walked through with Dennis Drakes
help and counted all I could on Friday. Dennis went through
the field gain on Saturday and noted the new arrivals for
me. Here is the tally for the ones I saw;
T/As 59 Total plus three T/A clones
AARs 41 total - for a show count of 103.
I did not get a chance to do a count on Sunday to see if
there were any new additions, but regardless of the actual
number it was an awesome turnout!
