Me as well. I know Dave made it over there to meet with others. We had a pretty steady stream of friends old and new stopping by our space and unfortunately I didn't get out much to see others. One of the highlights for us was being invited to dinner Saturday night by Tenney and his group which included Carl Bolander (a previous Owner of our 409) and Dru. In addition to being able to partake at Gibson's two nights in a row - we really enjoyed the conversations.

We intentionally used the early vendor entry time on Sunday to try and take in as many cars as we could and glad we did. Another great show by Bob and crew - I say this every year but how he still finds 500+ excellent cars every year is beyond impressive.

See you all next year.

@RPO LS3, you were the guy that Steve intro'd me to I think?

I saw some faces walking around but didn't want to bug ya if you were deep in conversation.

What do the volunteers do, help set up the railings, carpet, move cars around?

Thanks to everyone who chatted. Apologies to all who came at 11 and couldn't identify the meeting spot. I tried to be conspicuous in my Green Yenko branded shirt, but there were a number of people hanging out/resting in the area. I was able to use the PA system around 11:30 to call people together, but I'm sure some had moved on by then. Steve Shauger and I discussed the logistics after the fact and it will be more organized and deliberately gathered in the future. It's a sound concept and goal- the folks I met were just as personable and solid in person as they are online. Thanks to R68GTO, Lynn, Dykstra, LS6owner and all the others who were patient and found us.

I, for 1, can never understand what is being said over the PA. I was standing behind the Vintage Cert table and thought that was where you would have people meet right in front of that. The discussions going on on the stage was news to us, as Steve had looked at the schedule and didn't see anything.

I just watched that video of Lynn buying the bike and his running away from home story. I suggest scrolling up and watching the interview. Good story Lynn.
