Maryland Chevelle Club Show After Action Report

I just got back and it rained for two and half hours out of the three it takes to get back home. Saturday began a little flaky in the morning, as it was drizzling a little, but it got better for most of the day. Chevelles bagan to show up early in the morning. The show field terrain was very good. The sun came out and it was very muggy, but everyone was enjoing the Chevelles and the company. A few new Chevelles made their dubut during this show. Good bargains on the used parts section. There was a guy who did not get to unload what he was selling. It got sold before it got unloaded. There is a child who might be banned from future hula-hoops competition. He is just, too good!!!!! LOL
Albert's COPO is just an amazing car. Perfect in every detail. The sound with the Chamber exahust is phenomenal. It sounds like a true racing car. Rich R. 70 was another spectacular car. So good it had a buyer, a serious buyer. Bill's 68 another spectacular car w/ attention to details.
It began to rain at 5:00 right before the cruise. We left at 5:45 for a 35 minute ride. Chuck got in the back of an El Camino to take pictures. Dinner was good for just $3.00.
Sunday began with rain and like Albert was saying, "They are opening the spiket more and more." It rained all morning and the trailer queens remained in the trailers. Except for two of them who had to be re-judged due to a tie. Kudos to the judges because it was not an easy job. Chuck and LaRae were friendly as usual.
Bill, Rich R.it was a pleasure meeting you. Rich R and Ed Pienta hope you enjoyed the documentation.
The was a trailer stolen from the hotel. It had a LS-6 inside. I really don't know all the details, but I heard the owner had it for the last 20 years. Some how you guys need to do something to the trailers and trucks to avoid this type of incident. Don't know if the owner had it on an agree valued of the car or where the insurance company will determine howmuch they think it's worth.
Dave, you have one awesome 72. My daughters voted for it on Sunday.
To all of you who attended thank you and hope to see you next year.

BTW, I sold $400.00 worth of parts and bought $80.00 from our sponsor.
Rick E. it looks like you are treating the proportion valve way to good as it does not want to leave your garage.

Yep, when I arrived this morning, I saw you pulling away in the '70 and remembered THEN I was suppose to bring it with me. :clonk: If you'd like me to send it to you, PM you snail mail addy and I'll UPS it to you.

Nice see you and finally meeting your wife Luis! BTW, if you remember, last time it rained like this at an MCC Show, we were up at Reg's installing your booster and master cylinder, the year the show was moved to the Fleming's warehouse.

Great seeing what few other TC'ers a saw at the show. :)

I was at the show today and spoke to a local resident and there have been a rash of trailer thefts recently from that area, from what I heard, several of the trailers that were stolen in the past few weeks have been seen being pulled by a white 2000-2001 ish white Dodge pick-up with 2 husky built guys in it, Hope they catch the theiving B@st*rds and hang-um! LoJack seems to be the way to go these days, don't know if it could be used on a trailer but sure would be worth looking into..

Couldnt make it today ,but possibly at Churchville friday,like you said weather permtting. Doug
 
Been home about an hour now. What a display of beautiful Chevelles! We sure lucked out on Sat. Congrats to all the winners. Sure was a lot of hardware hanging around the Rat Pack tent today! Hope to see as many of you folks as possible at our show in Niagara Falls in two weeks. As always, Chevelle people are the best. Great job by the MCC!
 
Thanks for the congrats Duke. It was good to see you and the other TC'ers again.

The rain on Sunday didn't put a damper on a great weekend. Fri and Sat were nice, so 2 outa 3 ain't bad.

The Rat Packers will be invading the CanAm show as we have in past years. We should be arriving Thur afternoon for some site seeing on Fri, then the show on Sat/Sun.. Looking foreward to a northern show, maybe a little less heat???
Anyone ever here of a North Pole Chevelle show??? :confused:

Rick, nice seeing you agian. Don't worry about the valve. I''ll get it one day. Say hi to Claire.
Bill, there is always next year. Very rarely this show gets rained out. We were just lucky to have one day out of two.
 
Well, I didnt get a chance to meet Luis, but met Sid, Joe, and saw most of the gang from MD on Saturday. What a nice day, and a great trip down.

When I did my Friday night recon of the show field and saw two kids walking back from North East Creek with fishing poles, I knew the boys and I would be back next year. Sure, I'll have to spend some time at the creek and not the show field and might have a dab of creek mud in the trunk to get gigged on, but still.....

What a great location. Great show, Great folks!

Fred, Evelyn, Patrick, Will, and all the MCC'ers and Rat Packer's driving up to Niagara this year, HAPPY TRAILS! I hope your drive is as nice as mine was! Nicer!

Bill, all I've been praying for is a dry weekend, but 75 degrees would be nice!
 
I was there on Saturday! Unfortunaley without the Chevelle. I installed a new fuel tank on Friday evening and was'nt completely ready for the 45 mile cruise over on Saturday. Anyway, had a great time checking out all of the beautiful chevelles!!! Joined the MCC while I was there. Spent a bunch of time talking with Bob Wilcox. Just a must mention that Bill Rose's 68 has to be one of if not the nicest restored 68 SS396's I have ever seen. Hopefully I will be able to make some of the up and coming events soon.
 
Luis,

It was great meeting you and seeing your car and all of that incredible documatation. That car is a keeper - too much fun history attached to it, enjoy it forever.

All in all had a nice time, and yes my son the returning hoola hoop champ once keeps his crown. Hope to be back next year, will see if my hoola hoop champ wants to tag along again by then, as he gets older he may have different interests. ;)

Thks

Rich
 
It was good to see many people actually show up on saturday. It was good to catch up with everyone. I'm still pretty beat from the weekend but I can't wait to do it all over again. Hope to have my car done in the next few years so I can make it to the Georgia and CanAm shows...

I want to know where Mr. No-Show is. He knows who he is and he better watch out in less than 2 weeks.
Could you by chance be referring to me Tom :confused: :confused:

Darlene and I had Friday and Monday booked off work and my son and his lady had come down from Ottawa to go with us. I ended up "pulling the plug" on taking the car Thursday night at about 10:00 after tracking the weather forecasts all day. The trip was all planned and we had our usual hotel reservations in Newark, DE so off we went Friday morning. My normal two travelling Chevelle compadres decided not to chance the rain and stayed at home. It rained all the way down Friday and into Saturday until about 10:00 AM.

Our plans were to do the tourist thing on Saturday and head down to the show to see you guys on Sunday. My son wanted to see the inner harbour of Baltimore so we did that on Saturday. Sunday was just pouring all day where we were so we ended up doing The Mall thing. Felt bad about going all that way and not stopping by, but that's just how it worked out.

Monday turned into the "detour from he!!". Pouring rain, washed out roads, closed interstates, yada, yada, yada. Usually we go around Philadelphia, but this trip I saw more of it than I care to remember. Normally it's 8 hours to get home, but this trip took 10 1/2. It didn't stop pouring rain until we got across the bridge into Canada. To be honest, I would not have wanted to go through all the detours and bumper to bumper traffic in those downpours with the Chevelle on my open trailer. In the end I was some stressed out when I got home.

Sorry I missed you guys and all I can say is "I tried".
