I'm not a member of this club.but they are a bunch of nice people.as most
car peeps are it seems

 

Out of the 250 Cars.40 Cars Won Awards...and Dead Betty was one of them.WOO
HOO

 

She got "Judges Choice". ( 8 Judges and each chose their fav.) 

 

Most of the cars were "Muscle and Mayhem".their engines cost what Dead Betty
cost as a total.

 

I had a 1956 Chevy (Monster) and a Ford Bronco next to me.and Dead Betty was
getting most of the attention.

 

It was amazing.people would walk up from a distance with this smirk of
pleasant memories on their face...

 

and you could just tell.they once owned one or had a story about one.  Of
Course all the Kids loved her.

 

But I was leery of entering Dead Betty in this show.as the flyers and lit.
Seemed it was all about muscle cars.

 

But Dead Betty was just as Shiny and Show worthy.  

 

The 56 Chevy next to me Cranked it up...and shook the ground...and a crowd
gathered

 

All the men were drooling...and most of the women.looking at them with pity
in their eyes.

 

But when he was done "showing off"  :-) .and with the crowd still circled
around.

 

 just for fun.I cranked up Dead Betty.got the tickty tick I'm told Datsuns
do.and got a good Laugh

 

told the owner of the Chevy."we're racin' for Pink Slips at 4:30"  he looked
at me as if I were a fool...and the small crowd was laughing, tears were
shed.

 

I was funny...ya hadta be there maybe

 

But it was fun.

 

I didn't make the Event Web Site...as I'm not a member I guess.but I've got
a couple of shots on my webshots album
