I would echo everyone's remarks. There is not another show where you see as many Yenkos, COPOs, ZL-1's, Dick Harrell, Motion cars all in one place. It was great to hear Ray's story about buying his Harrell 427 Nova and the "neutral drops". The best part was definitely the drags. It's great to look at the cars but you can't beat watching them go down the track. When was the last time you saw a real ZL-1 burn rubber on the dragstrip? My brother (non-car guy) even went to the show and the drags and was duly impressed.

I toss out this next comment as a discussion point and I hope no one takes it as a critism as it is certainly not the intent. While there are certainly good points of having a small intimate gathering of these rare cars, it is also a shame that more specatators and cars were not present to truly appreciate the history of these rare beasts. I heard the Gibb show held shortly before the Reunion had 400+ cars and the town virtually shut down for the event. What are everyone's thoughts of the Reunion being held in conjunction with another show in order to increase the exposure or perhaps vary the location each year? The Supercars could still have a separate display similiar to the corvette's Bloomington Gold Special Collection. I certainly liked the non-judging, the drags and the seminars/speakers format. Comments?
