    I just woke up after getting home from GNRS at 4am so I thought I'd post some of my pics from the show.

    I had a blast and got to talk to TONS of people. Thanks for all the kind words about May Cause Dangerous, it was pretty overwhelming.

    I'm not an award seeker at all, but was honored with what I think were the two coolest awards of the weekend: The Circle City Hot Rods Pick and Best Kustom. Thanks to Jimmy White (and crew) and the Shifters.

    Also, thanks to Axle and the Shifters for doing a great job running the Suede Palace.

    The only remotely negative thing to the weekend was that roof of building 10 leaked on my car every time it started to rain. I guess I should have whined and cried that the show, john Buck and the Shifters **** because of it like some do at Goodguys events over stuff completely out of anyone's control.

    Overall, the entire event was a HIT. John Buck is to be immensely commended for somehow taking GNRS to the next level. I had a BLAST!

    I was asked over and over all weekend, "Why isn't your car in the main building?" My response each time was, "This is where my friends are."

    Look at you. The only close up you take of an engine just so happens to be an early HEMI, like your an old hand now that you got an awesome deal on one!

    Kirk! I would have like to meet you and shoot the ****. Your car was mind blowing and it really did cause Dangerous! I'll will be suffering from Dangerous now all week.
     
  12. KIRK! I don't know if it was the Robitussin I was pumping into my system but I just stood and stared at MCD for about 10 minutes...first chance to see it in person and that thing is just right on...can you say clone? Just kidding but seriously that thing is awesome

    Suede Palace has always leaked, like all the other buildings out there, it's been around a long time!
    Seems like there was more paint that swede out there this year.

    Terrific pictures! Good to see Jim Lattin and Elmo Gillette are still around. Many years ago I was a course steward at Bonneville. Haven't seen the Redhead since 1987.

    They said that The Fonz was supposed to be there, but I only saw Henry Winkler and Erin Moran. Did you ever notice that Henry Winkler looks kind of like an older version of The Fonz?

    I really like the black A coupe with the nailhead and blue windows. Is it from Texas? Saw it at Acadamy last year, I think and LSRU.
