Yep.... Vernon better be wearing a flack jacket on Sunday.
Hell's Bell's now were draggin down our local event which for the last two decades was held at the local shopping center where you guessed it Kmart is!
Pretty sure more than just 49's are alowed here, but hey it's a Kmart! Funny thing is the event got so big it's now closed off the whole downtown area and grown to triple what it ever was in the past! Each year for the last three it's grown. And guess what it's popular, with muscle cars, tbirds, 57 chevies and 32 coupes. People enjoy it because there is stuff for everyone. They call this event the Salute to American Graffeti Days, but cars much newer than the movie are there. I've never heard a single attendee complain about the selection, most people just there to chat and share their love for Hot Rodding and a movie that they hold dear.
Again I realize for some of you, your into one specific type of car, or one generation. It would be wierd being in a corvette club, driving a ferrari, but, I bet the corvette owner's would check it out!
