Just read that there are 6000 spots for a car show. Are you frickin serious??!! That's an insane amount of classic iron running around. Up here in Saskatoon (google it) our big show, last weekend of August, gets between 800 and 900 cars. And a bunch of those don't belong either. Such as stereo cars and a crap load of late 80's and early 90's rustangs and flamaro's. Ooooohh! Yeah, that's real impresive. It's not like you can't find parts for those piles of junk, let's say, ANYWHERE!! Sorry, now I'm all pissed off. I gotta go.

I think it was the right move. This is Reno/Sparks biggest money event of the year. It brings in something like $60 million, so they focus a lot of attention on it. Our kids and grandkids flew in today and we all went cruising in Reno. Tomorrow night....Sparks to listen to Herman's Hermits, cruise, watch some drag racing. Lots going on, good times. I've seen some really nice Mopars, doing us proud. We've never been concerned about our security here. The local PD, like in most tourist towns, is quick to action if they sense anything is going to damage the event's reputation.

Hi Butch -
I thought I had read that they were moving to Long Beach, Ca. Not so?

I don't know how many were filled, but it looks good so far. This is the 25 year event. They are bringing back drag races and burnouts, hope it's a huge success. Last year, we brought one of my 64 Sport Furys, this year, my wife's 37 Dodge hot rod ( 340, A727, 390 positrac, street slicks, etc.) I talked to a guy who said that something like 86% of all the registered cars are Ford and Chevy, the other 14% is all other brands. That said, we've seen some very nice Mopars, but would like to see us represented better. If you're a west coaster, or even an east coast Mopar addict, it's an event you should make at least once. You have to register at least a year or two early to get in. They will close some of the main streets in Reno and Sparks for nightly cruises. Lots of tribute bands plus the real bands, like Paul Revere and the Raiders. Show & Shines at many venues with good cash prizes, etc. HAN got off track for a few years, but are coming back with new life, or at least it appears to be that way so far. Great event. A little off topic, but I see a lot of east coast events mentioned here, thought I'd give a shout out for the west. /Butch/ Ferndale, WA -- -- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
