My opinion is that the show was indeed a huge success, I believe that next year will even be even Bigger and Better! Why? Because all of the non-chevy participants that might have been skeptical to bring out there really "Good Stuuf" are no longer skeptical.

They wanted to come in person....without there cars and see the show for themself. Now that they have seen it, and love the atmosphere they will come.

I just said the same thing Dan. Hopefully the Ford and Mopar (and AMC) folks will get some media coverage and see that this is a 'Must See/Must Attend' event. Getting quality cars to the venue is obviously not an issue. NOW let's ALL spread the word and pack the spectator aisles for 2010!

Wow..what a show!!. Bob/Vicki, you did good, thanks for everything.

Talk about taking a show to another level, I do not know of another indoor mutli-make musclecar show that even comes close to MCACN. I am glad that the sYc was able to be part of the inaugural show, and hopefully allowed to be a part of future shows. I did not get a sYc member car count, but the sYc was well represented. Thanks guys and gals for your efforts.

It was cool to walk around and visit with other club members, see their cars, this time not only Chevys, but all makes.

Another cool thing I liked was meeting all of the celebrebitis who were there back in the day. Their stories are priceless, and of course I was glad to see the Chevrolet supercar dealers well represented

Lastly, had to be the most musclecar writers/authors ever assembled under one roof.

Great show !

Did anyone happen to see "Broadway Bob" (Great Lakes Dragaway)walking around in what looked like pajama pants and drinking a can of beer ? He's a character for sure, but kind of pathetic, too.

Charley's Pick of the Show.

Interesting hodge podge of parts, there...but a "Custom Camper" woulda been a 3/4 ton long bed (for a slide in a camper, hence the name)...and the mid '65 introduced 327 woulda been the largest engine possible (the 305 v-6 was considered the HD engine). Hard to tell, but looks like 1/2 ton wheels (3/4s used 16" split rims, iirc)...

Regardless, still a great looking truck, though, in one of *the* sexiest trucks ever built...

Was great to meet a lot of the folks on the board (missed a few, too. Next time!). Wasn't around my car much (already seen that one!) - too much cool stuff to check out! Surrounded by legends - have a die cast of the car parked next to me! Well done Bob and crew - way to put 30 years worth of Vettefests on the trailer! And thanks everybody for bringing out all the great cars. Rare wasn't rare for a couple days there!

What everyone else said times 10. Looking forward to 2010 and I may even scare up something new to bring (not Chevy).

Thanks Mr. Ashton and your 9 subjects for making it all possible.

And it sure was nice of someone to bring a milk crate for 'the little fella' so he could see into the engine compartment.
