FIrst I would like to thank the Clary family for the hard work in once again hosting the SCR. I was very proud to be one of the lucky few that were recognized with a "Decade Award" for attending all ten SCR. That was a real surprise and, it still amazes me that the time flys so fast. I cannot even imagine a year not attending. This is the ONLY show we work the calander around. All of the hard work that the guys at the Super Car Workshop and friends, like Frank, Franny, Keith, George, Bernie and others get great joy in showing off the latest restorations. I cannot think af a better venue.

I have to say that there were quite a few great memories that will be taken away with this SCR, but by far meeting Mel Bogus and his son Bart was a highlight. Mel spoke from the heart and it showed at the banquet. Reuniting him with "his" Yenko Camaro was very special to me and many others. Thank you Mel for being there. And a close second was meeting Roberto from Mexico City. Flying to Chicago and then driving to the SCR was a true testiment to his dedication to the hobby. And to get to see his 67 DANA Camaro was amazing as well.

I would also like to give a big thank you to the media guys that covered the event. The legendary Bob McLurg and one of my old friends Tom Shaw both covering the event was very special. And I would also like to extend a thanks to Dave Newhart for the work he does. His books are true works of art, and I look forward to seeing some SCW cars in print. That is the finishing touch on the restorations, having guys like you want to put the cars in print. Makes the long days and night worth it.

And as always its great to see old friend and their cars. If you have a car, or not, its really not important, its the community of the hobby. Friends enjoying the cars, the stories and the latest finds. Having a beer and enjoying a laugh. Thats why the reunion is such a great success. Its not a mass produced show, its a family. Its fitting the show is called the Super Car REUNION and not just another show. Here's to SCR XI...BKH

Here are two examples of the dedication of the SCW gang

The excitement builds all year to see what's new and what's been happening with everyone. Then, when it's over, rather than be sad, we start planning for next year.
It IS about the people; it IS a reunion, and we ARE like family!

Don't mess with ONE of us unless you wanna take on ALL of us!

to everyone.

Thanks to the Clareys and all the volunteers for all their hard work. It was a great time. Fun was seeing Kasey go down the strip for the first time in years. He was only gonna make one pass. I tried to bet him 20.00 that he would make more than one. He finished his pass and was right back in the staging lane. Also great to see Darrell make a few passes till Nikki blocked his way back to the staging lane. Darrell had never been down the 1/4 mile before but after the first pass I think he was hooked. I really want to encourage any other Supercar owners that have never done the drag race portion to come and try it. You don't have to worry about being fast or looking stupid because you have never done it before. For me it has turned into a very fun part of the event. Yes it can be a bit intimidating at first but we are there to walk you thru it and I have yet to see anyone not make a second pass once they make that first one. Maybe other first time drag racers can chime in on their experience. You have no idea how hard I worked on Darrell and Nikki, starting at Carlisle. Now I think they are hooked.
Another great part of the weekend was when about 10 of us headed to the go kart track on Sat night. Think Demo derby with track workers looking the other way.......

I was gonna buy a computer keyboard , remove a few certain keys and award it to Kasey at the banquet but it might have tipped him over the edge to///////////PERMANENT--------CAPS((((((((LOCK!!!!!!!!
Thanks to the gang at Legendary Motors for bringing the L89 Nova for us all to enjoy. Thanks to the Supercar Workshop gang for all their hospitality and bringing such great cars. I have a great picture of Caleb Arone here somewhere. A big thanks to Stephano and Nickey for his sponsership and attendance. And a special thanks to all of you that brought your cars. It is the sum of the people and their cars that make this such a fun event.

Also a big thanks to Colin for bringing Kayna and especially for hitting his head on the same shelf in his trailer that I hit while at the Shelby convention....

And a big thanks to Sixtiesmuscle for that huge wheelie in his Nickey Chevelle.
And as usual a big thanks to the old man Barnhardt. A 71 year old that schools us all on the strip running 10.30's while banging a 4 speed...truely a treasure.....
