Well, it was a nice sunny day, about 75 degrees when I pulled in. I had pre-registered as a Daily Driver, so I didn't detail my engine or trunk. Tech inspection put me into Street Driver class, as Midlife wasn't my sole source of driving...I had 2.5 hours to finish detailing the exterior, then start on the engine and trunk! Bummer!
While working on the engine, I see Laurie_S just 3 cars away, and say hi, and the lady next to her says she wants to sell hers, and not show it, so she drives away, and I try and take her spot. I'm cranking and cranking, and the car just won't catch. Mulletwagon is watching, and we're both shaking our heads. I'm getting embarassed. I managed to get a push into the spot next to Laurie, explaining the situation to her. She says "Have you checked your engine wiring?" and a big lightbulb goes off! My ignition wire came off the coil when I was cleaning down there! Put it back on, and it starts right up! Doofus Me!
Well, RCV, Mulletwaggon, HipoPony289, Don67Stang, Roadracer, Dickson, Bishir and his SWMBO (she's a sweety!) all come over for a group photo.
Laurie's car is being judged while we're sitting around, and they are shaking their head at her car...too much wrong. Laurie explains that she's the original owner, and the antenna never has been removed from the car. The Judges just laugh at her, implying she's just a dumb broad. Laurie's getting mad...
My car is judged, and the guy says some nice things about it. Only problem is is that Roadracer's 66Shelby w/Paxton is in the same class! No fair! Awards are tomorrow.
No one shows up for dinner except Dickson, and he brings a special treat, one that has to wait for pictures.
A fun time was had by all, and I am having a blast at my first show!
