Actually, the show was great. As for rain, they moved the closing "ceremonies" up to noon on Sunday from 2:30. Sunday's turnout was very light. Saturday was rocking. TONS of cars. Everything from true ratrods to some absolute knockout customs. Great cross section of cars.
As for the autox, I never did get to chase anyone down, folks working the grid were just working the grid. Probably need to contact the goodguys folks direct for help. They used the lot up on the corner at near Trinity and Blue Ridge, not very big but workable. There was 1 light pole that I didn't like position-wise that was right at the finish. Would have been very easy to rotate the car and smack it, but fortunately no incidents. Also saw Mike, Wally and a few other folks up at the autox. I can't say that I did very well, course just didn't suit my car. Most drivers did the course in 1st. I tried and simply ran out of steam and banged the rev limiter. I drive in 2nd and then I'm hampered by the low speed 180 and not a ton of power coming out of the turn. A 2-1-2 shift just didn't work, for the short distance I had. All that said I still had fun. There was some serious old muscle on the course w/ very good drivers.
I must admit I met some of the nicest people there. Hell, I even had interest in lowly bullitt, but I'll admin I had the only one there. Goodguys confirmed they will be back next year, so I'm going. Had a great time....
The lot is larger then the old Morrisville Belk warehouse site, so perhaps it could be used for a charity or promotional event. I assume they had plenty of paddock space.
Now, did you beat the burgundy '53 Riviera?
