    My wife and I had a great time. The quality of cars this years was way up from last year. I couldn't stop looking at the Best of Show pick. We'll be back.

    Great event Alex. First time for me. Award pics were spot on. I was really happy for Joe, owner of that green 34. Great guy.

    Dick Dale was better than when I last saw him maybe15 years ago. Must have been practicing.

    It was a great show!! Myself, and my club, the Taildraggers, had an outstanding time! It was well organized, and the new lot suited the show better this year, I thought. I really liked both the blue coupe that got Best Hot Rod, and the green coupe! Thanks a lot for pulling it off again this year, Axle, I can't wait for Viva 17!!

    The view of our area at the show...we all loved where they parked us, right between the concert area and the entrance gate!

    Best of Show winner.

    A new pal who is a very nice guy. His name is Joe Clary and this is one neat '34.

    These are pics right after the build.

    wish my son and I could of stayed longer.

    my favorite car was the 406 four speed 62' Ford. didn't expect to see it at the show.

    Thank you Axle, was great to see you and I know your so busy with everything, it's special that you took some time to shake my hand, always good to see you. I meet my Daughter there every year for the last 7 years and can't wait to go next year. Not sure how you will be able to top this year, you set the bar so high. Thanks again

    This year was my first time attending the show. I only went on Saturday, but I had a fantastic time! Total sensory overload! My only "complaint" (it was my own dumbass fault) was I wandered over to the casino to eat and when I got back out to see Little Richard, the line for wrist-band holders was incredibly long. I ended up missing his show. I won't make that mistake again. I will definitely be back once I have my truck finished and can participate instead of just being a spectator.

    I preregistered my '50 Shoebox but didn't get it running in time. I would have gladly come and paid for the spectator entry fee for myself and the wife.

    Although we're only 100 miles away, last minute family developments dictated we had to head 200 miles the other direction.

    We'll see you next year for sure!!!!!!
