This was my first year at Ottawa, always drove a roadster and generally it was pretty cold or rainy to head over. Of all the shows/cruises I attend this ranks right up there, those that are within range are missing out if they don't attend, the facility is great, with plenty of food vendors. I always attend the Mid West NSRA show in Springfield and I have to say I favor Ottawa (though its even farther for me than Sprinfeld MO) for the main reason thats almost 2100 pre '72 vehicles unlike the NSRA's sliding 30 year rule so you are seeing "old cars" for once! It was great to see Roger there and chat with him briefly as well. Thanks for the kind words! Mathyj
