    Thanks Fellas. We all truly appreciate those of you whom make the long haul, in spite of busy schedules and high gas prices.

    BTW..looking like it may be a BYOB event. Will definetly be food vendors!! Working on a few last minute deals with local beer vendors. Please remember to drink responsibly. ;) As stated earlier, plenty of hotels in the area, if you need a place to crash. ummm...sleep:eek:

    On Behalf of the Misfires Car Club, just wanted to send out an official thanks you, to all whom attended the Gala. Despite high gas prices and everyones busy schedules, official totals where 140 registered cars/trucks, about 10 vintage choppers/cycles. EOHD made claims we had in excess of 1,000 people in attendance.:confused::confused:
    Pretty good for a show we litterally pulled out of the ashes, after two venues closed down. :eek:
    Everyone seem to have a good time. We love throwing this party, to hang with ALL our friends and showcase the best in traditional Hot Rods and Customs. Only downsides where not enough spectator parking and NO trash cans on the show field. We had to pick up ALL the trash after the event. I sliced my finger open on broken gl***. UGHH!:eek:


    We must give a special thanks to all whom made No. 13 a success:
    • Bill and Russ
    • BIG BOB and JR at EOHD
    • Design Sherriff aka DJ White Lightnin'
    • Giddy-up-Go
    • DJ Nate
    • The Wooly Bushmen
    • Enemy Ink
    • Flyer Studios.com
    • Fairvilla Megastores
    • Sebring Raceway
    • Snap-On Tools
    • Trophies by Miquiel and Pauly
    • ALL the vendors!!

    JT
    p.s. feel free to PM me with any issues or ideas.
