Don sorry to hear about the wet ride home, smart choice though! Brad - bummer about the tires, looks like a great show though, and it will be fun to see project 3k resurrected again. Steve.

I had a good time but I had camera issues and didn't get any pictures. I met Don and his sons Don and Dan, Hotroddaddy, and J Robinson. The weather was great all weekend but like Don said, right after I pulled out of Daytona, the wind and rain got rough in places. I had a great time and also bought a buch of stuff that I didn't really need.....well except for the breather cap. I actually needed that.

Come on Bill, show em your new shift knob.

Okay Don if you insist It was a present for my dad.

If you look at the the picture on the HAMB of the topless female posing on the trunk of a car with a small child walking about ten feet away, it wouldn't be a stretch to say the welcome was probably worn out at some of the cruise spots. While I've got nothing against topless females, there's a time for that sort of thing and that wasn't it.

Weather was perfect - until Sunday. The Cruise at the Bel Are Plaza was nuts on Friday night, never made it there on Saturday. Lots of nice Rods, my favorite was a rare Nash coupe (pic attached). Great lines in the fenders & grille. I'd really like to see it finished.

What was very strange was the way the Daytona Police stormed the plaza at about 11 oclock and ran everyone off. There must have been a dozen motorcycles and cars, and they kept telling people if they didn't leave they would be "arrested for trespassing." Daytona and the plaza in particular seem to want it both ways...........they want the revenue from these events, but not the inconvenience they bring. "Leave your money, but stay off of our streets."

Funny thing was, the cops were very cool on Thursday and Friday, but that all changed Saturday night. They even had the entrance to the plaza coned off so you couldn't get in without going in the back way. I wish Daytona would make up it's mind.

Hello All,
Had a fantastic time in Daytona and my T finally made it somewhere (not without some charging and brakelight issues of course) all minor problems too be sure. The one thing that I loved being there was seeing the CHR people and how friendly they all are. You all make everyone feel very welcome and for that I thank you. Bill your whole family is made up of quality people and Bill is only one quality example of people I met and talked to who represent our sport. The cars are one thing, but the people are another. You all are fantastic people and thank you for a great weekend. Don Jr.

OK......I know there have been picture posting problems but come on men, give us some pics......

I hope Don has some to post, I only took 4 the whole time and I inadvertently wiped those out when downloading them into my computer. I was so busy enjoying the event that I didn't stop to take any to speak of. Even Gastrick, who is usually Mr Camera didn't take any, I think.

I could "borrow" some from another forum, but I do that way too often as it is.

Don

Here's 5, more to come.

Five more for the group. If you go to the Turkey Run web site, there's a file of pics posted. Enjoy !!!!!
