Well --- the coverage this year is no different than in the past... lots and lots of stupid mistakes by the "pros"... Like the babbling idiot that's looking at my SMALL BLOCK and telling the world it's a 524 CUBIC INCH motor... (that's the horsepower number). I got a good chuckle out of that.
And I - like you - watched all day for several cars I was somewhat connected with... El Mule, etc. and dying the slow death of a 1000 cuts waiting for "my" (I'd sold it) car to run... and the announcer starts closing the show. OMG! But I was happy with the air time it got.... and that's nothing but pride since I had nothing to gain. I just wanted to see it appreciated for the home built car that it was. Lots of miles and I mean LOTS of miles on her... but always maintained and changed and updated. So I was thrilled when Magnante opened the hood to show my handiwork and they seemed to be happy with the quality etc. So I was happy. I just didn't want to see it languish on the block or have them just blow it off like "oh here's a 1956 Nomad" and then put that April Rose on... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
