'01 Supercar Reunion page

[Chevy454]

I will be adding Ron Voorhees and his '69 Yenko Camaro to the "attending" list today as I update the page. For those of you new to the Supercar Reunion, Ron attended last year's Reunion as well.

Well, we got an email from Ken Boje last night, and he will be brining Fred Gibb's first race car, his Z/28 "Lil Hoss". Along with the car, he will be bringing Herb Fox, Jerry Burford, and Kenny Brown, who were all once connected with Fred Gibb Chevrolet. And, for those of you who don't remember, Herb was the guy driving "Lil Hoss" when it set numerous records, and is going to make a few passes at Gateway after the show. So, I will be adding him to the list.

Also, Mike Guarise is also planning to attend, but he is having trouble deciding what to bring, so he's gonna let me drive up and take my pick! Just kidding ! He will be in attendance, though, but is going to wait until it gets closer to Reunion time until he decides what to bring.

Looks like the number stands at mid 20s right now, and we have yet to hear from any of the other Show-me boys...Ray, Frank, Rayburn...you listening ?

I guess we could be in the mid 40's if Kevin shows up w/a couple of tractor trailers Any news from the NW?

Well, I'm adding another name today: Ron Normann and his 1969 Yenko Chevelle! Looks like we could have a good turn out of A-bodies this year, with Swezey bringing his '68, Jeff and his '69, and now Ron's '69. We still haven't heard from Radake, and since he lives in St. Louis, I am assuming he could probably just drive across town to the show!

We haven't heard much from the "northwest boys" lately on the board...maybe they are doing a little "thrashing" to try and get some cars ready!

I am afraid it is going to be difficult for me to make it with a car. The only way it would have worked would have been to find 3 or 4 more cars that wanted to make the trip from this area. If Fred ends up with a truck going in that direction with a spot or two it might work. The other problem would be to have a place to keep the cars until the truck came back thru. Oh well maybe next time. We are still coming, do you think we could make a pass in the rental car? Ha!Ha!

Is that Ron Norman from Mchenry Il.?
He's a good guy.I buy a few parts from him now and then.Nice collection of cars he has.
Ask him to bring his 1966 Chevrolet promotional small block 350 V-8 cutaway engine/trans/rearend auto show display.
He got this from the man who designed it and had it in his Chicago highrise office building for nearly twenty years. This thing is on a roteserie and lights up and works with a lil motor.Very interesting and truly a timecapsule piece.A lot of detail went into this.It's as big as a car!It is on display in his store window in Mchenry.I took some great pictures of it.

I can't keep myself from trying to rotate that engine cut-away when I am at Rons shop. He doesnt mind me playing with it at all.

nwyenko:

don't give up hope yet. i don't do real good on that "planning" stuff, i'm more a concept kind of guy. i'm still keen on taking my 67 yenko camaro to the reunion. i just today got the phone # and name of the car dealer guy in spokane (the one with a orange copo chevelle) who's willing to let us share his 3-car trailer with us if we can scare up a driver and cab.

Keep the dream alive, Denis... We are all pulling for you guys on the west coast!

Add Dru Diesner and his '69 Yenko Camaro to the list of attendees, who will show, cruise AND race. I believe this will be Dru's first time at the reunion, at least with a car. Welcome Dru!
