I also had a great time.We had inlaws coming sunday so I had to make a quick trip,got there about 10 am sat. was trying to look at the cars but very crowded so I wondered past the meet and greet area so I new were to find it and looked at more cars (they seam to go on forever) and got lost in the heavy rain never made it to the greet and meet.Wound up along the cruise route but they had to shut it down for a while as to many people and they thought it was getting to unsafe. When cruising started again about 5 I had an excellant seating area behind a group of "good old boys" fueled by booze, that were egging on people to do burn outs as they drove by lol then the security people would catch these people and rip off their entrance sticker from the windshield and force them to the exit!! Fineily security stood in front of said provokers to calm them down, it was very entertaining.I never saw anyone except hemi"s car as he was leaving.At least I think it was his, l/plate all dodge? Would have liked to meet some of you guys but maybe next time.All in all had a great time and will make it next year for sure. Gene signed a poster for me and was very busy with pictures. Lots to do! Congrats to the guys that brought home an award!!

Sadly I didn't make the meet and greet, saw Sacotu's truck in the infield, but no one around, I also wandered around the area Hemi43 had marked out, where he camped, I never even got to see his car. I spent a large part of the weekend right at the main intersection, both my friends had there rides parked there and for sale, the bright red '55 Chevy pickup with flames, and the "Star Trek" custom van.
I only got to meet one member, "RightCoast Cars", great guy to talk with.
Hello all, I did not bring the wagon down as Ross wanted to bring the Nova on Kevin's trailer behind Kevin's motorhome. About 1HR from Syracuse Kevin wiped a cam lobe/ lifter on his Ventura so we switched the cars on the trailer. At the show Kevin and Don took the cam out and Kevin ordered a new cam from Whites but then found the cam bearings bad so he returned the cam and gaskets for a full refund, Kudos to Jason White. Had many good visits with Sherwood and Rosemary, (Dubya31). As most others I did not get to the greet and meet. Bernice and I had a great time there. Dan, saw you at Sherwood's motorhome but did not know it was you.
It was a fantastic show the only down side was the heat. Just want to thank Henry and Bernice from "henrys57wagon" and Dan and his son from "hemi43" for all their help. Saw lots of other cars from the Ontario Rodders site in attendance but never got to connect in person. Ontario plates were everywere. It was hard to find Dan as he was travelling in disquise as the pictures show.
Congratulations to Dan for Best Chop, and I'm stoked to come home with StreetRodders first pick for "Top Ten" and to be entered into their Top 100 for 2013. Looking forward to the Jacket and magazine photos.
For some reason I can't upload pictures to the site today, but will try again later.
