Yes, This one is also of interest, but only if I can find a driver for the Elk. That way I can bring a couple pillows and lay in the back for the ride. Seriously, I'd love to attend a show like this, but it's a bit too much of a hike for me. _________________ Mark

I like this one and the Autos of the world Sunday date. I'll try to be there. BTW, how can Sturbridge Ma be too far for anyone in New England??? It's right on I-84!!! _________________ If you want your car fixed the right way, do it yourself!

MGS72ELKY,
Since my Elky is a basket case, I'll volunteer to drive yours!!! How fast do you think that thing can go??? We'll make the trip in record time and you won't nap with white knuckles!!! _________________ If you want your car fixed the right way, do it yourself!
Hey Mox-ct, I think your question of "how can this be too far for anyone" refers to me. Well it can be, you see I've got 29 pieces of steel in my spine, including 3 rods, and another 5 pieces in my neck. So anything much more than 30 to 40 minutes is a bit too much, buddy. _________________ Mark

Hey Mike --- this one looks like a good excuse for a road trip... and if I promise my wife dinner out and a mixer she might agree to go back to the hotel room with me!
I put it in my calendar and barring surprises I am planning to be there.
I have no idea what class they will want to put me in - but if I pay the registration fee they are sure to let me in ---- anyway.

I saw that flyer also. That show really interests me, I enjoy 1000 point judging if it's done right.
Anyone else from Region 1 want to show these Region 2 whipersnappers a thing or two?
Sounds like an "appointment with destiny".
I'm with you Tom, "Bring it on", Leo. _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4

Leo, Leo, Leo, Some things in life are better left alone. After the showing region 2 put on this past weekend, all I can say is be careful what you wish for. These region 2 Elkys are the epitome of visual excellence, and (may I remind you) that many of us, myself included, use your towels to help achive such a high level of brilliance. Be careful Leo, we'll fill your Elky up with K-mart towels and take pictures...Heh, Heh, Heh. _________________ Mark

That's only because I'd have to get a motel room after each 30 minutes of driving. Have a great time guys.... _________________ Mark

...Leo's got a "gentleman's challenge" to uphold [or else face the harassment of the entire Region 2 group for years to come] so I'm sure he'll be there....
Yes I am still intending on coming! I'm working on getting there Fri. In the meantime, you guys may be interested to see a typical 1000 point judging sheet http://fullsizechevynatls.tripod.com/id6.html Could be helpful in getting cars ready. _________________ Leo

Leo, Very nice rap sheet. It will be helpful indeed for many shows to come.
Let's see, Tom gets 900 points for chrome and creativity, Mark'll get 850 for an engine compartment that you can see yourself clearly enough to pick your teeth in. By this list, I might even get a couple hundred points with an unfinished bed. (Alan, Ernie and the other Gen 5ers are so far up the scale the judges will be scratching their heads looking for defects and finding none)
Nice Job Leo, Thx _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4
