Believe it or not but I did make it to PF. We arrived about 3pm on friday and shortly after getting the car unloaded I got a call with an unfortunate message that I needed to get back home ASAP. Since we had just driven 400 miles, there was no way that either of us could have driven back without some rest, so we pulled out early saturday morning.

Although I didn't get to meet many of the members, I did get to see all of the classic glass and it was a beautiful site to behold.

My apologies to everyone for not being in a very social mood after recieving the message from home, plus the fact that I was physically exhausted from the trip.

Congratulations to all the guys that put a lot of time and effort into making the event a success.  I'm just sorry I didn't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Maybe next time.

Also, thanks to all the guys that are posting the pics. Because of a camera malfunction, I wasn't able to get a single pic.

Barry, 

I don't think I even put 1/10th of a mile on my odometer. I just backed it off the trailer and drove it back on the next morning.

My buddy's excuse for driving so fast was that he was trying to pull away from the corvette that was on our tail.

As I stated in another thread, he towed my car on a 20 foot trailer 400 miles in 6 1/2 hours with 4 stops and it was raining half the time. When I reminded him of the speed he was running, he would say it's like the guy who fell off the empire state buliding. As he was falling by the 20th floor, he was heard saying "So far. so good" I heard that many times on this trip.  




Thanks To All !!!

I Thank everyone on the good comments.  I know I could of done more.   It was that my lady was not feeling well and if she was with me we would of figured a way to make it better in the long run.    The most important is that everyone did have a great and happy time.   I know I did and my wife didn't.  She say's she will see everyone when time comes.   She is getting better everytime she sees me on this wonderful website.
