Thanks to everyone who attended Midnight Mass

Well, finally have a little time to breath since yesterday. My feet are like rawhide from so much walking. Next year a golfcart is in order.

We had about 450 cars show up which was awsome. I say about because we were a little disorganized at the begining. I won't get the spectator number until next week, but it got pretty crowded after it cooled down a little.

All the bands played their hearst out in the heat, and the people seemed to really get into it. The Blasters were AWSOME!!!

I took about 12 pictures all day long, so I need everyone to post up their pictures so I put them on our web site.

Thanks again everyone and we'll see you next year, hoprfully in the same spot.

 

Thank you for the show...This was my first year to be able to go and it was truly a great event! Sorry...no camera!

 

Thanks for putting it on. Had a blast, forgot to take pictures though.

 

Had a great time!!

What was up with the "Crybaby" lookalike at the afterparty???

 

Glad to hear you had a great turn out and a great time!

 

Lots of cars and people and overall I had a good time! This year it did seem a little disorganized and sketchy. I understand that it is basically a big party, but there were also a lot of families with kids there. I don't think it was a very good idea to have cars cruising around the lot the whole time. Just asking for something bad to happen. Right around 11:30 two dudes that appeared to be absolutely shitfaced got in to some very dangerous shenanegans. A dude in a chopped(toppless) truck was pushing another guy in a 64ish Impala through the crowd. Rammed the Impala so hard and fast that he spun him out right through the crowd. There was a little girl with her mother that was almost run over by this bullshit. At first I thought they were fighting or something, but it kinda seemed like they knew each other and were just fucking around. Anyone know what that was all about? Just seemed a little scattered out. This is one of my must attend shows of the year and don't want it to grow out of control. Thanks again.

 

Didn't have time to take many pictures but here are a couple.

Hey Bruce, Sounds like you guys had another great show. We are now waiting for an avalanche of pictures. Mike

 

Had a great time thanks.That was a great turn out. looked like we still had some room for a swap meet but If you do it there next year I bet you fill the parking lot.

 

I had a blast, thanks to you and the rest of you poor boys for putting it on

 

Yeah, I have to admit it was a little disorganized, but mostly due to the size of the venue. It's a huge lot for 10 guys to try and keep control over.

We've been very lucky through the years of having other club's members watch our back when things looked liked they may get out of control. But now that we may have a place to return to, we can make some adjustments for next year.

I am happy to say that except for the incident above everybody seemed well behaved and had a great time.

 

I "tip-my-hat" to Bruce and the Sac-Town Poor Boys !

 

as always,i had a great time!!this is one of my must attend shows every year.thanks poor boys.....keep it goin!

 

Here's a couple of links to some pictures I found doing a search. Don't know who they belong to but thanks for the shots.

Bruce and the Poor Boys,
Awesome show once again I wish my car could have made it 3 out of the five we had shit out on the way and I have a feeling we weren't the only ones that happened to. Thanks Brewsir for the ride back to the hotel we really appreciated it.

Great show... Thanks Poor Boys!

We Gave out this award for best wagon...

 

That Best Wagon award was bad ass. I had to pry it out of Budget's hands, he didn't want to give it up.

Thanks to all the Grinders that showed up!!!

 

Thanks for pictures, mind if I post them on our web site?

 

Hey Bruce,

Great show. Thanks to you, Jay and all the rest of your "gang".

I didn't see the incident mentioned above.
I had friends show up who are "car" people but not used to our brand necessarily.
All who came had a great time and commented over and over on what a fun event it was and were amazed at how well behaved and polite the crowd was.

It really says alot for the people who put on the show and the attendees that you can have that large of a crowd partying and have so little problems.

Thanks again,

Ed

OH.... and if you are willing, I'll make next years trophy smaller!

 

hey bruce how is skip?? are you keeping him out there now ..glad to here the show was great nice pics you took...dave

 

skip and Deb are on there way down to her parents place. They worked really hard and I really appreciated their help.

Skip went and bought a hat for the show too.

 

Midnight mass was off the hook! It was my first time attending! Got a chance to meet alot of new people! I look forward to the next one!

F*ck it Ed that trophy was Cool!

 

Even as big as it was, that was one of the best trophies I've ever seen. The hand tooled leather piece that replicated our flier was awsome. If you make one next year you do what you do best, engineer it.

Also, for everyone's knowledge, Ed got a trophy for the best engineered car, picked by a Reno custom shop.

 

No pics of Skip's new hat? Skip were are you? Skiiiiip

 

I enjoyed the show like always, is Cal Expo allowing a return show next year? or will it be same bat time different bat channel again.

edit: actualy pretty decent women this time, something traditional shows usually lack....
