Well, what a shame for all, vendors, sellers, clubs, independents, expectorates, organizers, all.
The rain ruined a great show.
My wife and I left Ft Myers, Fl at 7 AM and arrived at the track at the time that the cloud coverage started getting heavier. We parked and enter the track at turn one and moved rapidly toward turn 4. It was a long walk since we kept looking at the clouds getting heavier and the wind started to get stronger. I was able to pick up just a few things from a vendor and right back walking toward turn 4.
It was a very long walk since sprinkles started to come down and I wanted to see the Fieros and the weather was deteriorating very rapidly. Asked directions twice and finally to my left I see Fieros. However at this time the wind is strong and the rain is now picking up. Within two minutes the club members started to gather around the tent and awards started to be given. The rain got heavier and people stared to leave in a hurry but I walked around to see the cars.
Beautiful cars, all of them, every single one had its on merit.
The one that cut my eye was a red one, parked on the left as you entered the coral, T-tops, super nice paint and the rear engine cover with a center grill and a see through engine window, a super nice front chin spoiler. As the rain got heavier the owner was placing a plastic tarp over the car and I was able to assist him. Also a white GT that looks so mean, just a super nice clean and tasteful execution, super nice car.
At this time my wife and I started to walk back to the car since the rain was there to stay.
I was hoping to talk to as many owner as I could and just get their story about their car and also I was looking forward to talk to vendors.
So, got to the car and started the sad drive home.
Now, back to the red, t-tops car. Does anyone know whom the owner is because I would love to communicate with him. I have seen pictures of the grill on a forum but don't remember witch one. I was able to ask the gentleman about the grill but all I got was the was made by a guy in Pennsylvanian, I think.
I will be back in November and I hope that by then I can drive my car and hope for better weather, is the club attending the November show??
Congratulations to all the participants, every car represents a lot of work and time spent keeping the Fieros around.
