Where to began? Except to say THANKS.
![]() Thanks to our sponsors and faithful members whose financial support help make the SCR possible. Thanks to all who donated and or bought auction items, we raised close to $5500.00 for charity. Thanks to everyone who bought a car(s), as I know first hand this is not easy, nor cheap. Thanks to all who pitched in to make the event run smooth, your efforts allowed me to relax, and have a blast. Thanks for Helen and Nancy Gibb, Mel and Bart Bogus, Lynn Yenko and son Alex for spending the weekend with us, allowing us to be a part of their extended “supercar” family. For some reason, and I do not know why, there seemed to be a special feeling in the air this year, almost as if we had returned to 1998 and SCR1. I have been hearing the last year or so how the musclecar hobby is soft, especially the Chevy side of things. I do not believe it. We had at least four professional journalists covering the event this year, three that I know there shooting stuff for upcoming books. Of course the usual parade of articles, featuring cars from SCR10, will be appearing in numerous musclecar magazines during the next several months. We had several firsts (that I know of). Four Motion Corvettes racing. A pair of 1969 Yenko 427 Novas racing side by side. The only known L-89 Nova on display. Three Dana Chevrolet cars on display. All eight colors of Yenko Deuces on display, 12 in all. Because some of the Deuces were never in Canonsburg, (some went to Hurst), even Yenko Chevrolet never had all 8 colors together. Not a first, but very rare, all 6 colors of Yenko Camaro together. My favorite moments, of course most at the track. Late in the day, watching Ken Barnhart and Pete Gerling going at it head to head, Ken 10.20s, Pete 10.70s. Pete and Dru doing their burnouts together. The Deuce shootout, with 8-9 involved. The bracket race, always fun to see who can prevail. Congrats to all of the winners. Getting to run my cars, with Nancy Gibb as my co-pilot. For the first time since SCR1, I got a chance to sit in the stands and watch part of the action. All I can say is WOW! Hats off to everyone who made a pass. Was great to be on hand when Mel Bogus slide behind the wheel of his Yenko demo car for the first time since 1969, the grin from ear to ear said it all. A special moment when Mel took the stage at the banquet, to see just how special the SCR has become, not only to us, but to the folks who made the history. Enjoyed hearing Lynn Yenko talk about spending time around the dealership and with her dad. Of course no one tires of visiting with Helen Gibb. Her smile is contagious. Always fun to see the “first timers” rolled out the trailers. As usual, we had several this year, both restored and survivors. And finally, at least for now, the answer to the question I was asked most often this weekend.. With SCR10 history, will there will be a SCR11 and beyond? Yes.

Great Show Tom !!!
Thanks for having us. It was like a trip back in time watching that classic and rare muscle out there on the 1/4 mile, the exact place that it was built for. What sums up SCR10 for me is a bunch of fantastic cars and a bunch of fantastic people that have a passion for this hobby that we love so much. You could really feel an excitement in the air during the whole weekend. It's hard to explain, but I definatly feel a pride in being invited and able to experience this event. I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.

...The only known L-89 Nova on display... [/ QUOTE ] Sounds like another great time and missed opportunity for those of us that couldn't make it...hope to be able to get to one before SCR-25!?. Anyway, I couldn't let mention of the L-89 Nova go by...if I've missed something genuine being found, perhaps someone can point me to a past thread or start another on this car?. ~ Pete ![]()

Tom, no way it could have been better to be there! I would have liked it to be less than 90 outside, but with the wind chill it felt like 85.
![]() The banquet was a great show of fellowship, getting to hang out with folks that you would otherwise only know by screen name. ![]() The expansion of the exhibition hall was a big plus, as was the air conditioning. ![]() After looking forward for a year for this show, I now have to start the count down for next year. Come on, SCR ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

My hat is off to Tom, Rob, Mo and everyone else who make this event happen including everyone who brought their cars.
It was a fantastic weekend and I am honored to be able to be a part of it. Like TC said, there was indeed a "special feeling" in the air. There were way too many highlights to list, (see photos) so all I will say is, if you haven't made it a priority to make it to an SCR, I can not emphasize how much you should. SCR11...PLAN NOW and Don't Miss It! And for anyone wondering...YES, KASEY REALLY IS A BIT, um....DIFFERANT! 0-: BA |

I agree Bob, and I also would like to ad that you don't need a supercar to have a blast at a Supercar Reunion... I've only had a car at 2 of 10 and honestly have had a terrific time each and every year. I've always said that if we all just showed up in rental cars and a change of clothes we could all still have a great weekend just hanging out with each other and swapping stories. All the awesome cars at the reunion are great, but its the PEOPLE who really make the show such a super event. If you weren't there this year, don't miss it next year.. (or we'll all talk about you behind your back.
