as always monster mopar is never a let down , even when i break the car . Mechanically all was well this year :2thumbs:
Nice pics!! Really like that green and white top Daytona.... :drool5: :drool5:
Hey Stuart, great pictures! Sometimes the photo and event going to or from the show are as much fun to remember as the actual show itself. I'm glad to see that you drove your car and didn't trailer it. Its always cool to see a vintage mopar being driven and not trailered everywhere. I'm disappointed to see that Doug trailered the #7 car though :smilielol: That car was made to be driven.... wide open. haha, just kidding Doug. As mentioned before, I love that green Daytona. I don't think I have ever seen a Daytona with a vinyl top. You know that trim has got to be super-hard to find a replacement for. I love the look of the green '69 Hemi Charger sitting next to it. I wish I could have made it, but I will definitely make it next year. Looks like a great show

No, there wasn't a thread about my little color change project - it was something I decided to keep low key. However, I did miss a good chance to post a thread about it being easier to just move the tags over to a donor car and rebody it...
:stirthepot:
Thanks for posting the pics, Stuart. I finally got my camera out Sunday morning after the track laps were done. That's about when I can come up for air at that show. Still didn't take but maybe three or four dozen photos - most of which were of Doug's #7 car.

Well, the car has now been on Route 66. We stopped at Soulsby's Shell yesterday afternoon on the way home.
Justin, we missed you at the meet. Wish you could have made it.

That was the end of the burnout. Unfortunately he didn't get the entire burnout. I had to show them that just because it came in on a trailer, it wasn't some pampered show car. :coolgleamA:
Here are a few more.
I was just there Saturday, but the weather at the track turned out great and good times were had by all (that I talked to anyway) I finally got to meet a number of you and put faces and names with cars and profile icons!

i was telling my wife that I've been busting you about not doing a burnout . with my luck you'll do a burnout , blow your motor , then I'll feel like sh*t . so I'm officially stopping trying to get you to do a burnout . it's ok to have an all show and no go car :D
just kidding :cheers:
Stuart went wide in turn two and I thought he was going for the pass. I was ready to put him into the wall if I had to. :drive:
Turns out all he was trying to do was get a good shot of my car. I feel kind of bad now.
If I'm lucky he'll go ahead and post the pic tonight. :icon_smile_big:
there's the old race car driver i know , put him into the wall :lol:
did my heart good to see all the pics of you guys doing burnouts (except Stuart)
cause that's how we are :cheers: . it's nice to see things and have lunch together . plus pictures of the kids but when it comes down to it . it's all about the machines and banging gears .

The wheels in that pic are blue metalic. They are Clement five slots which hit the market about that time. Those exact wheels are now being produced again, and can be bought in 15 x 8 and 15 x 10.

Great pics in all............... Makes me WISH I lived closer to the Midwest so I could attend more of these Mopar functions........ :'(
What amazes me is I have had a chance to talk to several of the old school racers, and everyone has been super nice. Thanks to Rich for setting up and bringing these guys in :cheers:

Great stuff Stuart I enjoy your picture threads they have story behind them. :2thumbs:
You know what I like most about the Ramo Stott pics? He looks just as thrilled in both.
BTW, is there something wrong with me to think the Cotton Owens truck pics are almost as cool as any of the wing cars?

Ian wasn't taking pics on the track on the first day because he was sitting in the back seat of my bird. He was a great co-pilot.
He kept yelling "pass the pace car...pass the pace car". Not really Stu.
He was too busy holding on while we dove into the corners.
I'm not sure who was smiling more...him or my wife.
Come to think of it, it may have been my wife yelling "pass the pace car".
We all had a great time.
Great pictures thanks for sharing, I just dropped mine off to be developed. I always have lots of pictures of every body elses cars and very few of mine. I think I took a few with the Tona and black ice together.
Here's a couple from Sunday.
Thanks Larry it was real cool to have them parked next to each other. I feel like they are some how siblings :shruggy:
Thanks Ghost! The old truck does get some attention and I have to say it is cool, but I enjoy driving the daytona more :cheers:
Did anyone pay attention to the awards part of the show on Sunday? I won something, but I was stuck on the drag racing side when they stopped running the shuttle? My friend claimed my prize.

sorry i left at 12:30 before the road way got blocked up with people getting awards .
We were waiting for the awards ceremony to end so that we could leave. Troy pointed out that the other gate was open so we managed to get out a little quicker that way. I was curious as to whether any of our gang won anything. We were a non-judged entry so I know I couldn't have won anything. Besides, my car isn't restored. Kind of grungy on the bottom side.
I picked up this tall peace of wood and plastic on Sunday :coolgleamA:
But I dont have a cool B-body like you all do :'(
