Hey, This is Steve using John's computer... :)

Penny ran in the Vendors class.. I have to work and didn't have the time to do the SMOTY deal (and I wouldn't have won the award)

My best time on new KDWs was 31.6 so I'm happy that I would of had the fastest time of that group.

Kyle Tucker of DSE had the fastest time in the Vendors Group...

This one reminds me of the Charger in the chase scene in Bullitt.

The trend I see with the SMOTY finalists is less sidewall than last years cars.

Barry Blomquist, Onalaska, WI 1962 Corvette won the SMOY of the year. That thing was super, super trick. Absolutely stunning.

Alan Johnsons won the street rod of the year..

Yep, Doug Cooper's car is amazing... as was the Vette.. I really felt the Vette deserved the win and I'm glad it did.

The Vette was absolutely awesome, nothing else in the field even on the same level I felt. Lots of very nice cars. If Ringbrothers had made it with the Fairlane, it wouild have been a tough decision to make.
