Well!?!

How'd the show go?

97CasperCobra · 09-15-2002, 06:02 PM

The show went great Josh!!! Only 46 cars/trucks, but we had a great time. We learned a LOT on this one!!! The rain came about 11:30, just as we were sending out the judges, but they hacked it through the rain and got the job done. I know we could have gotten at least 60 if the chance of rain today wasn't 40%!!!!!!

Boy I'm sure the Carolinas are livin' it up now that they won the contest

, but I'm positive we could have had more.

Josh968 · 09-15-2002, 06:05 PM

Heck, for a first show, sounds pretty good to me, when you figure rain probably would scare a lot of people away.

So Sherri, did your Taurus get any awards

97CasperCobra · 09-15-2002, 06:09 PM

Here's a quick BEFORE and AFTER shot:

The day starting out....Look great:

Until, something comes this way and drenches us:

Oh well, we could only make the best of it. Joe Myers was a great host too!!!!!

Nice finally meeting some more of you today.... I wish the weather would have cooperated, but hey, it was still a great time. Great cars, great people, what more can you ask??

cobrapace94 · 09-15-2002, 08:57 PM

Andy the link worked..

All is well, even with the rain. The show was a sucess, IMHO. I don't have the exact count, but there were 2 Lightnings, 10-12 classics, app 10 GT's, 1 Cobra\Saleen, 3 or so Saleen GT's (1 S351), 2 00 R's and a bunch of Cobras of various year models, 1 93, 2 94's ect. Joe Myers did a fantastic job hosting the show, food, snowcones, water, sodas & trophies. Behind the scenes it was a little caotic at times, but with the help of everybody, it went extremely well. Thanks to the girls that helped with the sign in and counting of the judging sheets. They were a huge asset. It was a learning experience to say the least, and I was not involved with a lot of the things that went on.
It only get better.

Glad we at least made a good showing for the final count, but with the weather saying 40-50% chance of rain, depending on what channel you watched, I think the South Central group did well.
Congrats to all the winners.

**Firme** · 09-15-2002, 09:04 PM

yup, we did great inspite of the rain.... like Darrell said, it got hectic a couple of times behind the scenes, but we did a great job keeping it "behind the scenes"

Andy M · 09-15-2002, 09:18 PM

Sorry I did not snap more pics... I was busy assisting with parking duties and could not make time to snap more of them.

Some things I/we learned:

1) pics - next year we need to designate someone in the group as our official picture taker. This person will have NO other duties besides taking pics.

2) weather - we need to assign someone to pray to the "Weather Gods" so we have good weather next time! ;-)

3) fold out chair - I need to get me one of those nifty soft fold out chairs to rest my feet every now and then!

4) prep - I need to come better prepared next time. I did not even have "el-cheapo" picture frames for my Cobra R documents. Shame on me. But, oh well, it was my first ever car show.

5) music - We need to bring along a large jam box next time to play some music. We could have a few CD's with a mix of new and oldies music. I think it would set the mood.

I would like to sincerely thank my good friend Richard "Pinky" Hammond and Joe Meyers Ford for their support on this. I would encourage our members and friends and family who are in the market for a new Ford vehicle to keep Joe Meyers Ford in mind. It would be a great way to show our appreciation to them for their wonderful generosity in support of our club and in particular, this car show.
