Good Morning Guys; 383S10, damn my ol'e brain. I seen your silver truck, it rang a bell in my brain but it wasn't ringing loud enough to over come the ringing in my ears from the exhaust drone. I did get to speak with Brian a couple of times, I think that he has done an excellent job putting together the near perfect all around family vehicle. And I took near 200 pictures. I did speak with one of the Hot Rod staff guys, the consensuses is NO start at the Dells next year! The police were *ss Holes, forced me to make a left turn from the straight ahead lane sending me up the wrong side of the river. Adding an additional 30 to 45 minutes I was in the 3 & 3/4 hour traffic jam. I was HOT & Pissed, so was the Bronze Brick! And to top it off the entrances (first 3) were block off to the event???? We made down town Dells at 1:00 Pm & it took till 5:00 to make the 6 to 8 miles to the Chula Vista. Again the hosts didn't believe the Hot Rod people that they would be receiving 4000 to 6000 cars! Oh and my room didn't have any hot water until late that evening, all for only $200. Excluding arriving I had a great time! So I suggested to the Hot Rod guy that they consider starting in Janesville at the closed GM plant next year as they can park 5000 cars with NO problem. I'll try and post a few pictures, Bob Jr.
PS: The cooling system was put to the test and passed, no green on the ground.

nice. Dodgeville is just up the road from where I grew up (Mineral Point)... saw everyone from there posting pix of the run... nice to see one from that angle... :D

EDIT: You should have stopped to get donuts. Best donuts in the world right there to the left :D :mrgreen:

Good Morning GP403 & all; So where do you live now GP403? When I posted the picture through the windshield, I wondered if anyone would like it. The new (2009) windshield didn't hurt the clarity too much. Head I known about the donut shop......
Last nights storms were kinda tough on the South Western part of the state. Good thing Power Tour was done & gone.
I would like to say again how much pleasure I got from talking with everyone. The one thing I miss here at the GBF is the fact that we are spread out over the whole planet & the few chances we have to get together. I did mention the forum to all the A-G body people I spoke with, so maybe we will get a couple of new members? Bob Jr.
PS: more pictures.
