What do you mean no adult supervision! They were standing there while their kids ( and even them) were all over the cars. Stupid a$$es.
Didn't see the kid jumping on Chucks side pipes, but the icing on the cake for me was the guy pounding on Dougs fender. WTF, WTF, WTF. That pissed me off. I told him duh, it is fiber glass, you don't need to hit it. If it was Al's car, there would have been knuckle prints in the fender, then probably a knocked out a$$ hole on the ground.

It was great seeing everyone and bsing. Next time we will need to do it somewhere else. That will be the last f##king time I take my car to something like that!!!!!!!!!!!

I just cleaned the car, and am happy to say that I escaped with only fingerprints and ice cream smudges - no nicks or scratches . Luckily, the kid bouncing on the sidepipe was a little spud, so no damage there either.

I didn't even get that much time to chat with our group because I was busy meeting so many interesting new people: the guy with the tats who was eyeballing my air filter while shooting furtive glances over his shoulder, the street person reaching into the car with a lit cigarette in his hand, the mother telling her child to "get on the car and I'll take your picture!"

No more city shows for me.

P.S. Al's right, it was fun roaring out of there with all the cheering!

Doug,
I would of had it done but I bent one of the dowl pins for the heads getting it out and couldn't find one locally. A Summit item so can't put it together until next week. # 5 cylinder gasket went. It amazes me that these companies that build these Hi performance motors use great parts then put these piece of s**t gaskets in that aren't even supposed to be used!. Anyway I should be up and running next week. It sure would be great to visit with you guys one of these days. Glad you found a spot for your poster. Also, after all I'm hearing about the show, mabey this was a blessing in disguise.
