I'll second that. Norwell.... You still coming?

 

Thanks Lance - we may be heading back to Boston for some medical stuff and will try to work in a show to pay for the gas etc.

You have been so cool to me over the years I really wanna support your show and I try to tell people back east every chance I get.....
dont think you need much help in getting the word out anymore though!!!

Here's a few shots from the last Cruise Paradise and the North Shore of Oahu.

 

I did good this year.
LSR
Stray Kat
KKOA salina
Pre-Hamb drag holiday inn party
Greaserama
and finally made a hunnert(too bad last one)
Pistons and paint. (1st time what a great show)

I've taken my sons in to several and Im sure they already got the car bug. Plan on taking them to LSR in 2012
I'll try to do the same list although I'd like to go to a "them" show sometime but its same wk end as greaserama.

 

The only two that we are dead set on going to right now are Billetproof NW and the East/West no Overheads run.
Indoors, the Portland Roadster show and this year I'd like to make a weekend of it rather than the down and back blast we have done for the past several years.

Without having a running rod or custom the outdoor events aren't that much fun so we don't hit a lot of them. Plus I would rather save a few bucks to go to a show that I really want to go to rather then spending the money on shows that are ok but not must go to events.

 

The thaw, round up, pistons and paint !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WCK Cruisin' Nationals, Santa Maria, CA late May,
GG Pleasanton West Coast Nats, late Aug
