Thanks to Gearhead Garage for a most excellent Goodguys show weekend
 

Whew, what a weekend. Want to first say thanks to all the gang (Jason, Sean, Mert, Jonny, Mike, and Logan) from Gearhead Garage who got my car done in time to take to the show in Pleasanton this weekend. We had a great indoor spot on the end near their display booth in the Young California building. Since it was kinda chilly this weekend and rained Friday night/Sat morning, that worked out really well.

The 200 mile round trip drive from Sac to Pleasanton and back went very well with only a couple small minor things to address later, but nothing to hinder the drive and fun. The car still needs to be dyno tuned, probably later this week, and a few other little tweaks, but it was responsive and loud and a blast to cruise down the road. It should only get better. Thought I would share some pics from the weekend...

Oh and much to my surprise, I actually won an award. The "Cool Camaro" award, which is pretty neat since there are a ton of Camaros at each show.

Saw that car at SEMA in the Arc Audio booth. Very nice ride. Good to see Nor Cal representing well in a sea of pro built first gens there.

I thought you'd never drive that thing. :D Glad to see you're out having fun.:thumbsup:

I would like thanks them too, not only were they working on Dave's car, but I brought mine in after replacing my heads. I wanted to make sure I put everything together right, which I had a "extra" vacuum hoes, and it needed a little TLC to get running right. Well they did that and I was able to pick it up Thursday night, so I could enjoy the show with my father. Great group of guys to work with, and help out.

AWESOME Dave!! Good to hear. Glad the guys @ Gearheads got her all buttoned up for the show.
Congrats on the award as well. Your car looks great!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Nice group of cars....

LOVE the plate on the Chevelle!

SEE! Told you why quit coming down this time of year.... I have my own rain to deal with right here. :willy:

Glad you had a good time - nice award - and you're right. To be singled out in a sea of Camaros is a good pick.

Yeah I was beginning to think the same thing! :D Thanks Todd.

Glad you made it too Mike. They hustled to get our stuff done on time. Good guys. Nice meeting your pops too.

Thanks Tone.

Thanks Greg. Yeah that plate of my buddy's gets a lot of comments!

Oh it was just an itty bitty sprinkle ;)

It was great meeting you Dave. Thanks for the text bid on my car. Ass. :D

Same to you Mike. Wish I coulda joined you over there in your section of the winners circle but I was late to the party and got scolded! :willy:

Hey my offer just went down by $5k! Better hurry! :lol:

Let's cruise sometime...

Nice cars.
