Ok, this thread has a little story to go with it.

Story:
2 weeks ago, my father lost his job and has been in a funk ever since. He had been talking about this weekend's GoodGuys' show ever since it was announced, but he refused to buy tickets now that he's not working, so I sent my mom the money to by their tickets and to pay for anything else they might want to buy while there. My dad still has no idea what's going on, and won't until Sat morning.

Request:
Here's where I need some help from anyone going to the show. I'm not sure if there's going to be an autocross at this event, but if there is I'd like to arrange a ride-along for my dad. He's an old school street rod and muscle car guy, I don't think he's ever been within 200 miles of a pro-touring machine, so I really would love for him to experience how things have changed since he got away from building cars for fun. I know this can't change his everyday reality of having no job, but at least it can get his mind off of it for a day or so and put a smile on his face.

So there it is, my humble request for help from ANYONE going to the show with a pro-touring machine.

Thanks!
Jeff K.

I will be there at the show and running in the autocross. He would be more than welcome to ride with me at anytime.

Good idea, I'm actually going to call them tomorrow and see if I can get it all set up beforehand.

Thank you, Terry!! I really appreciate it! If you could PM me your contact info, I'll get in touch with you tomorrow afternoon or early evening.

Same thing come by the RPM booth or to the black and white Camaro at the auto X and I would be happy to give him a ride.

Well Jeff how did the show go? My dad and I went several years ago and had a blast. I'm goin to have start goin again since it's the closest one to me. That is a big place to walk around.

I wasn't there, but I heard my Dad had a great time, which is all that mattered to me. He didn't have a chance to ride with anyone in the autocross, but he watched a few cars go through it and said it looked like fun. He sent me a CD with all the pics he took, should have it in the mail by tomorrow. I know I'll be at the show every year after I move back to Texas, might even have to get an older truck so I can enter it...

Cool Jeff. As long as he got to enjoy it thats all that matters. :thumbsup:
