Re: SCR6 update, 7-31-03
Scratch one 69 Phase III BM Camaro, add one '69 COPO Camaro. As hard as we tried, my Motion is not going to be ready for the show. Once it became evident that it would not be finished, I was hoping to just bring it as a rolling painted shell. That idea fizzled, as a number of the parts needed to finish assembling the rear and subframe did not arrive as promised. I'm REALLY disappointed.

Re: SCR6 update, 7-31-03
Charlie, sorry to hear that. I know how hard you have been working to finish it, and how bad you wanted the car to be at SCR6, with Joel and friends. But at least you do have a very capable backup. And, once the B-M is done, you are close enough to Joel, you can take it to him and have a private screening. Just be sure and post some pics. By the way, is your side kick coming again this year?

Re: SCR6 update, 7-31-03
Yes, my son will be coming as well. This will be my 4th and his 3rd SCR. Every year, it's been a great father-son weekend. Hopefully, Gateway will allow passengers as he is looking forward to riding shotgun down the track on Friday. I recall last time at Gateway, they were pretty lenient and allowed riders. See everyone in a couple of days. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Re: SCR6 update, 7-31-03
Just got off the phone with the writer/photographer for the new Hemmings musclecar magazine. He is planning on spending the weekend at SCR6. He is very excited about photographing many of the cars, and is very interested in getting some "action" shots at the drags. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/
[/img]In addition, rumor has it that on Thursday evening, a portion of the rarely seen Yenko dealership paperwork, along with numerous 1 of Yenko items will be on display. Such items as Don's race suit, helmet, several jackets, plaque from the Citrus 250, turbo unit SYC-001, etc, AND, who knows, may even find your Yenko's VIN listed. All compliments of the sYc. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] Finally, but certainly not least. Got a call from Helen Gibb. Her and Nancy are excited about attending SCR6 and meeting everyone. She was concerned about where she was to park, as she has a very unique display she puts along side her 2002 ZL-1. I assured her she was indoors, after all, she and Fred once owned 50 1969 ZL-1s.

Re: SCR6 update, 7-31-03
Most likely only on Thursday night, when I will have more free time. Because of the importance and rarity of the items, (at least to me), I am very hestitent where I display stuff. And I learned this the hard way. At SCR1, I was more open with my stuff, and paid the price, as several rare items disappeared. Talk about disappointed in the supercar hobby. But, as I was told later by a "wise, old man,", At a show, if you meet 100 people, 99 will be honest, sincere people, who enjoy seeing your car, with one a real jacka$$, who finds fault with all cars there. Often times we let the one ruin the whole weekend. Do not let him do that, instead remember the 99 who enjoyed your car. To me, that sums it up, and why this hobby is so much fun. The 99, not the one. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: SCR6 update, 8-27-03
The MOTION guest list that will be arriving Friday, mid-afternoon, include:
Joel Rosen, Marty Schorr, Gary Kupfer, John Mahler and Phil Tesio. According to Marty "The Magazine" Schorr: Gary "The Brush" Kupfer painted the MOTION race cars [and some of the retail customer cars], John Mahler was the Hi-Performance Parts Manager for Baldwin Chevrolet and Phil Tesio was Joel's first [or one of the first] MP Speed Shop customer in Brooklyn and a loyal MOTION supporter for 35+ years. There may be a couple more ol' Motion guys that attend, but Marty is awaiting their confirmation. Party-on! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ [/img]

Re: SCR6 update, 8-27-03
I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone (and seeing the cars too)! Don't know if I'll be able to bring some PA Pocono brews on the plane, but I'll try my best. Wish everyone a safe trip.
