Granted...... But there will probably be one or two aero cars at most......... But, there will be a tush-load of Chargers.............

Anyone driving north on 35 can stop in at my place for a cold beer or pop or lemonade, etc…  Then its just another 2-1/2 hours left to go for you.  I’ll be home everynight after 5:00pm so just let me know if you are going by at that time.  I’ll be going to the meet on Saturday only.  My spouse will be 37 weeks pregnant and I’m not going anywhere to far for too long.

Wish I could.. June will be busy with Guard duty, Boerne and if I was to go, Minnesota.. The Minnesota trip would cost me a fortune.. It's amazing how much these trips cost when it's all said and done... Between fuel, food and lodging, it's enough to say, "Man, I could have put that into my Charger"...   But then again, life wouldn't be complete without somewhere to take them and hang out............

usually 25 normal    or up to - 50 on a great showing

[69_500]

What would you say the turn out was last year? I'm guessing around 40 total cars over the span of the week.

[moparstuart]

  oh more then 60 for sure but some where just b- body's ,but that was a huge meet with the nascar drivers and all. Kenny really out did him self !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pettybird]

I'm thinking the turnout was closer to 45...  both meets were great this year for turnout--it was like when I was a kid again.

i went back through my pictures and i counted well over 50 including( one mercury ) and several other  short timers including a general lee 4x4 . we has 45 at the MUSEUM &( big bubba'S ) CANT REMEMBER THE REAL NAME  dinner place alone

[69_500]

I was only trying to think of the aero cars that were there. NO offense to the b bodies but I didn't really pay any attention to them.

I was thinking it was something around 25-30 Superbirds, 13-18 Daytona's, and 1 Charger 500 that I remember.

snob LOL  with out the b-body there would be no wing cars

[pettybird]

yep that's what I was thinking too.

i kinda apply DSAC car definitions to WW meets...

[69_500]

Me too, actually I guess you could call it snoby or whatever, but I really wish their newsletters were all about the aero cars. I don't know how the whole winged cars and National B body association came together anyways. Seems like they should be 2 seperate things if you ask me.

[moparstuart]

to each his own but i favor including everyone who gets excited about our cars

[69_500]

I've got no problem including the people who like the cars. I guess that comes out sounding harsh, but to me if I go to a show there are really only 3 cars that I'll stop and really look at. Those 3 are all the aero cars. Granted I'll stop and talk to people who have B bodies, but I don't take as much time staring at the rest of them. And when I go to a national meet for a winged car club, I expect to spend the whole day looking at the cars I love, and only those.

Then again there are people at those shows who could care less about the 500's as well, so I know where your coming from. Its like my dad always said when I was little,

"If it doesn't have a wing,
It doesn't mean a thing."

Thus excluding the 500's from anything special too. To be honest I think the only 500's my dad ever paid attention to are the HEMI 500's. Thinking back the Q5 500 we had was more or less just another car in the driveway, it wasn't given anything special.

Now I wonder if I should just cancel my reservation.  Leave the four speed hemi home, and just go feed mosquitos on the Norwegian Riviera.  Plenty of other car shows where they welcome car enthusiasts.  This is a side of the Winged Warriors I've never seen before.

NO NO NO wing warriors welcomes everyone.  That was just danny's personal opinion, Please come out .  Everyone is welcome you dont even have to bring a car , or even have a car. COME ON OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bring the hemi PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
