Second Annual Hot Summer Wheels Car show - Saturday July 12th

[Raydar]

Don't forget!

Whoever is interested, this is from 9:30 - 4:00, this weekend.

Darn, Steve!  I was planning to be there but I didn't realize it was the same day as the club meeting. 

[Fierfly]

Charlie, ya might have to move the meeting to the car show!

I wish we could come.

This is short notice, but who wants to move the meeting to the car show?
In any case, we need to decide on a route for RFTH soon. Two routes have been submitted for consideration. So the meeting's important.
 

[Fierofool]

Do you think that would be a good idea.  Some people don't read the forum and just show up at the meetings.  Remember last month that Mike and Terry drove from Murphy, NC only to find we were at the cookout? 

[TopNotch]

You're right. We better keep it at the diner. Besides, maybe Johnyrottin will come.

[Fierofool]

I've spoken with him about it.  He will be in Gainesville on Saturday for a soccer game.  If it's over in time, he said he would come by.

Okay...
Been a while. Finally getting around to posting some pics.
This was the perfect day for a car show. Upper 70s - Low 80s, a mild overcast, but not a drop of rain.
There were 60+ cars there. More were expected, but several cars/clubs bowed out due to the fear of the rain that never materialized.
There were two bands. Ezra Church (classic rock, southern rock, a bit of metal) and the Way Back Band (60s, and 70s party music. Great musicians and *superb* entertainers.)

This is Ezra Church. (part of them, anyway) 


I was too busy listening to the tunes to take pics of the Way Back Band.

The Fieros were represented by Don Hulse, Darrell, David (Don's son-in-law) and me.




Of course, AeroDon


While not the most spectacular or the most flashy, this was one of the more interesting cars there.
A Porsche 904 "tribute" built by Beck Development. 260 HP and ~1800 lbs.








A kindred spirit


Golden Hawk


A nice 69 Chevelle. This was the first show this car had ever entered.
The guy was visibly nervous. He won an award. (Several, I think.)


A trio of 62 Chevies. Two Impalas...



And a Bel Air Rat Rod


You don't see these any more (Where have we heard THAT before?)
This Maverick had a nicely detailed 302. Spotless car including the alligator upholstery.


Of course, the Mopars were represented.
A 440 Magnum 73(?) Charger


A 71 Challenger R/T 340


This one cracked me up...

...because of the window sticker.


A very nicely restored 92 T/A 'vert


A very nice 34(?) Ford sedan



This was the only year that a greyhound hood ornament was offered as a Ford option (as the story goes)


Lots of chrome!


My personal favorite. A 69 Chevy Fleetside. The paint looks about 1/4" thick.
Pics don't do it justice. The details were amazing.


"Best of Show"


I have quite a few other pics, and hi-res version of all of them. These were just the highlights.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... Don won a "Top 25" award. He was pleased (as was I.)
All trophies were hand made by Troop 39.

It was a great show, I think! Seemed like everyone had a good time, and there were a lot of unique cars, trucks and bikes out there. Beginning to gear up for next year... Thanks to those from the Georgia Fiero Club who participated. You represented your club well!

[Raydar]

Holy smokes! I need to add some bike pics, too! I neglected those.

Thanks for a heck of a show, Bo. You and your crew (and the Troop) did a superb job.
I'm looking forward to next year!

WE'RE COMING BACK, HOTTER THAN EVER!!! The 2nd annual Hot Summer Wheels Show and Shine will be back at Clinton Nature Preserve on Saturday, July 12, 2014! I know that it is the 2nd weekend of the month, and your Club meeting is on the same weekend, but you have time to make plans to have your club meeting in Douglasville in July! Come out and enjoy the show, listen to GREAT music by the Way Back Band, and support Boy Scout Troop 39.

Once again, it is guaranteed to be the HOTTEST SHOW OF THE SUMMER!!!

Thanks Steve, Don, Darrell and David for last year's support!  Remember, the 50/50 drawing is a little different... 50% to a single ticket holder, and 50% to the most represented car club. Golden City Cruisers won it with 15 cars last year. I know that the Fiero Club can represent with more this year! Come out and enjoy the fun...

                                                         

[Raydar]

I'm looking forward to it!
This is easily one of the coolest, most laid back, and most fun shows I've ever participated in. The venue is just perfect. Much nicer than a hard, steamy parking lot. (For those who came to Sam Memmolo's first show, a couple of years ago, this is the same place.)
If you like old 60s rock and roll, you've got to hear The Way Back  Band. Not only are they great musicians, they are superb entertainers. 

[Fierofool]

Is it scheduled for the 2nd Saturday in July again this year?  If not, get it on the club participation calendar.

Can we update the date in the Subject: line for this year's show, or start a new thread?  I'm afraid that people might show up one day late this year, based on the "July 13" date in the subject line...

Thanks for the suggestion. The thread title and the first post has been edited to reflect this year's show.
Pertinent information will be edited into the initial post as well as in the continuation of this thread.

On behalf of Bo (scoutdad) and Boy Scout Troop 39, I'd like to thank everyone for their support.
You guys rock!
