This year was our best turn out, especially with the spectators!  Many clean
cars, both air and water (Peter & Craig, ya missed the cutie who drove the
yellow water pumper...but I got her picture ;)  The Notch' that won *was*
nice
-- I voted for it!  However, the other two weren't as nice as my baby (but
I'm
very biased :)

Oil FILTER mount.  Just wanted to clarify ;)

Yeah, next show I hope to have a better display...body jacked to see
underneath
and mirrors, car stats, etc.

Yeah, it was nice!  I took a picture of the interior.  It also had a tow
hitch
just like mine.  Didn't get to see the engine bay but it looked stock
underneath.

Also saw a fairly stock Square' with, get this, a custom fiberglass hood
that
was ported for a BOOMING stereo speaker box that filled the trunk...hard to
explain but once you see the pictures you'll understand...it
was...different...

There was also a Notch' that was drag racing.  Very nice looking, and yes, I
took it's picture as well.

I'll be a postin' the pictures once I get the film developed and let y'all
know.
 Damn, with all these pictures it sure would've been nice if I had a writer
for
a magazine article...
