Wow! What a great time. We still have tomorrow to go!!! Thankfully, we had some cloud cover to keep the temps down. Although it was miserably hot this morning, there was no measurable rain throughout the picnic!
The turnout at the picnic was tremendous. I believe we had 45 coming. I'm certain we got that amount if not more. It was great to see the Orlando contingent (Uncle Buck, Oldekid, & Bruce) - loud mufflerless cars and all. We had a couple special guests from out of state. John Kuhn came from Detroit for the weekend. It was great to meet him. This strange couple from Rhode Island showed up, also. Shermanator is still visiting as well as Bob B. from Massachusetts.
Scott Beer came up with his family in their minivan from the SE coast. It was awesome to meet and talk with him. That poor guy had no clue the snake pit he was walking into! Three dozen guys with under-achieving cars.
Got to meet a batch of people I've only PM'ed or talked to before - Jimimac, cougar9150, Red, psychosilo, Paul, and Arejayess (Yeah, Kara is smokin' hot). It was great to meet y'all!
There was a bunch I met for the first time (and didn't get to talk to enough) like D-Rock (And D-Rock Senior), Not-5.0, Mills Marauder, Finster (And Finster senior), Blown38, Piglet50, Jeffsmm and MMMan.
Of course, there were the staples - Dennis and Penny, Dennis and Sheila, Ghost and SouLRioT (Dudes, I hope you guys enjoyed this one!), Kenny, Roy L. Pita, the Jimlam clan (Matt03 and Blanco inclusive), the DJV5150 clan (marauderboi inclusive), Smokie (I know what Mrs. Smokie is going through, it happened to me at last year's!), the Blackmobile clan, StevenJ, and The Donk (Mike, the old school Mercury emblems rock).
A very special thank-you goes out to Starman and USLYDAWG. Thank you both for getting there early to help out the cause. You guys helped make the whole day happen!
Lastly, the people who made this event happen -
The vendors and donators! Wow, some great prizes were given out (Ask me how I know)!
Cobra25, TJA, Magindat, and Nero! Well, then again, there was that strange couple from Rhode Island . . .
You all deserve grande-kudos for everything you did! Way to go, thank you for all the hard work. I know how hard it is to arrange an event like this and you guys killed it, KILLED IT!
Oh and lets not forget my immortalization as Flava-J!
