McNair Park Car Show 7/12/09

Mcnair show

I went to look only, checked radar on my cell phone and told judges hey you got about 20 min to get these cars out of here bad rain coming.. Get this, was told they have to hand out awards. I told this dope some of these guys have alot of money in their cars at least warn them not done very poor handling by lions club they sure got my vote !
 
We were the first to leave at 11:45 along with Mike B. We get home 15 minutes before the rain. All ok here. But man some of those guys with $150,000 cars got muddy and soaked for sure. They had all of the judging done by 11am - they should have called it then. The guy next to me had a NCRS Top Flight 1958 Vette - just perfect - never been wet - and didn't know what to do. I told him he'll get wet today if he didn't leave.

Thanks to Gary O, Mike B and Chuckie for showing up.

Here's some pictures - more in a gallery I created from today.
 
Good time

Great pictures Mark !! Thanks!! Glad you made it home before the sky's opened up. The temp dropped about every mile on the way home. Wasn't sure if I would make it dry. Had a half hour to spare. Gary and I were a lot closer than you. Didn'tbreak any laws on the way home,did ya ?!?!?! :D Great car show but we could have done without that 20% of the rain!

Great pics and I'm glad we were represented well. Went to the ballpark, and got to see one half inning of the futures all star game before the rain came. We stuck around the ballpark for 2 hours before calling it quits and heading to Chesterfield (54th Street) for a bite to eat and drink. Ended up being a 4 hour rain delay and they shortened the game to 7 innings which I watched at home.

I'm sure the Lion's Club guys didn't know what to do really either. It's just water, $150,000 car or not, it will dry out, spots will wipe off. Geez, if you can't even let rain hit your car, your really shouldn't get it out of your garage.
 
I'll be getting a phone upgrade so that I can get the butt radar like you have. That would have come in handy today. I had to call home and get radar updates.

Not just water you have high winds ( possible tree limbs falling ) good chance of hail and interior water stains come on now is this worth a $15.00 trophy for bragging rights don, t think so many of thes cars have alot of hours in them by the owners 1 is old chevy very limited this gentleman found in a lake and did very nice job making a street rod out of it over a 4 year period. Alot of money out there to be damaged by stupidity on the part of the lions club telling all the weather is fine after i showed them my radar screen on my phone. Its the handest idea ever put on a cell phone.
 
I looked at the Cobras at the show and also got to meet and talk to Mark. I went to the show early at 10:30 because the weather radar showed the line of storms were about two hours away. I joked with Mark about the weather. The four Cobras at the show all looked like show cars. Mark invited me to go on a cruise with the club. My car has stock Cobra Jet engine and I doubt if I could keep up with you guys. Your cars sure look great.

Glad you got to make it Dale. Your car would keep up fine, heck, Mike B's Miata did fine :D
 
By the time I got out of church it was already raining. Sorry I missed the show. Saturday was a nice day at McNair Park though.
 
OK - you're not going to believe this -

I just got a postcard from the car show staff,

Little Blue Piggie WON a 3rd place trophy !!!!!

Made my day! BTW - that's the first trophy ever!
 
Too cool!
Congratulations on having the Blue Beast gain the title of "Award winning" Cobra :D. My first award was from the employees of the Villa Ridge Burger King :eek:. Got a couple of real ones after that.
 
Whose the Grey with Black stripes, RollBars and Sidepipes? Is that Mike B's? Nice color combo. :D
 
Sorry, Congrats Mark. I saw the gray or Silver car and asked the question and I didn't get to the bottom. What class did you win. Biggest engine?
 
Thanks Dan and Tim. Special Interest is the class. Trophy pick-up next Sat.
Not only am I surprised, I'm surprised as to how happy I am about it.
