I was there when the Cuda when thru too, but that's another story.

How's Bob doing?

He has had a cold all week and not felt good. As far as the car goes, he would have loved to have gotten more, but he knows he did all he could to get all it would do, so he is good with that.
The only sad thing to me is the car is going to a place in Fl that will never do anything with it. The Cuda will now just be another piece of carart.

He seems like a real nice guy. I'm sorry he didn't get more for it. You guys know the new owner? He's not going to drive it?? That's a shame.

Back at ya guys. It is always great to meet more people from the boards and see old friends, even the Jackasses....lol
Bruce, great to finally see you on Sunday after hitting and missing all week. What a cool shop huh??? I got many pictures I will post as soon as I get home. Still in Chicago right now, another delayed flight......

Mike, great to hang with you the other day too. It's not that I know everyone, I just go alot and get to meet different ones at different shows.

Ron, great to meet you finally also. I am sorry the car did not bring the money, but that seemed to be the way it went this year.

Of course, cheers to all the AirRide guys, you too Peggy.....lol

Tracy, Charley, Mark, Mike and everyone else, great seeing everyone again and I look forward to Power Tour.

Chris, I really hate I missed you at your booth, but that is how it goes, next time I will get your number and call.

I dont understand the reason for what they do and they really make it hard for the press to do there job. I also have a booth there and let me tell you they do not care about the venders at all. I hope that who ever attends the show is having a better time.

I would guess that they have a special deal with speed channel for some level of exclusivity on the event...this would explain why they would not allow press on the block.

Bill, it was great seeing you at BJ. I got a real kick out of hanging out with you guys during the Cuda staging...lots of excitement. I was pretty dissapointed with the outcome on the Cuda. I guess you never know how these things are going to go.

The main reason for the media not getting onstage is the fact that there are just too many people onstage already. Two years ago a bidder and his guest could go on stage, now just the bidder and the stage is still insanely crowded. Too damn many people wanting to be on TV. You can see them really easy too, they are the fools talking on the cell phone and looking at the camera, not the car up for sale.
