This show was awesome. I absolutely loved the venue. The coliseum was so cool. When we got tired of walking around, we would go inside and cop a squat on the bleachers and just hang out. I can't wait to go again next year.
We kept our 4 yr old grandson while daughter and her husband and friends went. Friday morning about 9:30 Cindy said "wish I was waking up in Layafette this morning". By 11am were were packed and rolling. Best weekend all year, reminded me of the early days of Lone star Roundup. Great show, great to see old friends and meet new ones!
Thank you folks for all the kind words and for coming out to support the new show - it was exciting for us to try something new and after spending time in Lafayette and finding Blackham Coliseum as the backdrop - we knew we had something special in store for everyone. It was just as much fun for us to put it on as it was for you folks to come enjoy it - and we will definitely be coming back. Thanks for the great coverage of the show @Ryan and yeah - join us in the road trip out next year - it was a BLAST!
Thanks to the people who set this show up and the folks who had to work. I'll be attending this in the future. Great food, amazing atmosphere and perfect weather. Thanks to those who brought their cars. I've seen Paul and the Hilton cars at Austin, Syracuse and Lafayette all in the same year. It's not always easy getting cars To the shows so I just want to say thanks and it's greatly appreciated!!! Countdown till the next show has started...
Great story Ryan. The beginning sounds familiar to me. Little motivation to go there, just another car show. But then, WOW. Bottom line we should always expect the unexpected
Nice lookin' show, great venue. Wish I coulda made it, just wasn't in the cards. It's a shame the LSR and Austin can't put the genie back in the bottle and find an old spot similar. Then again, maybe this was that attempt. Love Austin and the folks there, gotta be a classic spot 'round there somewhere. I'm sure LaFayette will be a great addition, off to a good start. Hey, common denominator - Kontinentals, gotta be good right? Thanks fellas, appreciate the hard work! Thanks for capturing some great shots and postin' 'em up Blake n Ryan.
man I couldn't go, family, friends, and work; all the usual reasons. I KNEW it would be great, with the Kontinentals putting it on and Lafayette is a great town, I've been there before and it feels a lot like old Austin. I missed the first Round-Up and went to every one since, I guess it will be the same with this show.
What an interesting looking show, and that is coming from someone who has never been a big fan of indoor shows. As a side note, the photos posted Blake posted are extremely beautiful! WOW!
