Wish i could make it. My car was nominated for an award this year but I got the dear john letter.

Had around 60 in attendance.  Pretty good for Philly. Finally getting a good group of muscle car era folks in AACA. Expecting a good showing of Camaros in Charlotte and Hershey. And BTW, our resident Mustang guy, Mark Young,  gave an overview presentation on Mustangs.
Maroman, there was quite a discussion about driving the cars, not just showing.  The most fervent speaker was a Dodge Brothers owner! 👍

Uh-oh, a DB guy at a Camaro meeting? Was it Tom?  I heard he was causing trouble at another seminar about computers.

Thanks Phillip! 

Wow..   you covered a LOT of material in very short order!   Wish I'd been there to hear it..

Did you give a test afterwards?

Never caught his name, but I liked what he said about cars being made and restored to drive.

No, no test. Hopefully,  more interest in Camaros.

Phil, what was the mystery DBer's name? I thought I knew everyone.

He never said who he was or where he was from, and by the time I went to where he was, he was gone.
