AL --

I'd love to but stopped going down there. I always gave this "trip" to my Brother in Law for Xmas... but after several shows - became bored - had been to all the shops more than a couple of times - so like much of life - we "moved on". Ditto Hot August Nights. We went for 13 or 14 years or more so long ago I can't even remember... but again - doing the same thing year after year became boring... so now I've tasked my sister with coming up with a new show/place to go each year. If we like it - we go back once more - if not - no biggie. So this year we hauled to Rod Run to Yellowstone... met a couple there from Wyoming - and they've talked us into joining them at Kool Deadwood Nights... That - and I'm going to try my hand at Power Tour for the first time this year (well "next year" actually since it will be 2010).

Just a "car thing" about BOYD - and yes, I'm sure that shop is closed up by now... After watching the build of "Junkyard Dog" -- and watching these bozos form the gap of the trunk using bondo and a razor knife... ALL pretense of 'quality' and that name went on the cutting room floor... We crossed that shop name off of our tour list. We then added Corvette Mike...
