Way cool to me you guys at the Monthly Muscle car show in Dallas. It's great to put faces to names. Although in my case it's better to be heard than seen!!!
Let me state for the record that 2 of our El Camino Central''s site people won trophys today.
Congrats go to TSUNAMIGREGG on his first place in 80s class, and to KenRogers for his second place in Pre-80s truck (that covers alot of rides):nanawrench:
It's pretty good when only 4 members show up with their ELKOs and take home 2 trophys!!!!
Being from Dallas it takes me like 15 minutes to get there, TSUNAMIGREGG, KENROGERS1, RUSHGATER, and ELKYVETTE had to put some miles on to show up. But they did and they made a show of it!!!!:You_Rock:
Here are some pics.

Congrats guys. Good showing....

:beer: CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

CONGRATS on the wins. You guys are on :onfire:

Congrats guys. Good showing....

Any progress that you can report on your damaged El Camino?

I wish people around here would win with their el caminos. I mean their are ones that are beautiful, but no one ever wins. I mean they are mint to the bone and still they do not win. I fell that since we have a ton of guys who own El Caminos around the area it always the same old crap that they see. SO they do not see it as a wow type of car to win a trophy. anyway Congrads guys

The Monthly Muscle Club said if we could line up 4 or 5 ELKO's they would have an ELKO class,(it only cost them 2 more trophys) so maybe your shows can do the same.
And on those lines I need some commitments for the next show. It will be held the weekend after the 4th of July. Come on Texas El Camino's lets put on a show!!!!
Thanks:texas:
Donny
PS there were alot of super sharp rides there yesterday and for our club to take away 2 trophys is alsum!!!!!

What Done Deal Donny has not told is the "rest of the story". The vehicle taking first place in the 80s and older pickups category was a 1982 La France (?) Fire Engine pumper truck. (Yeah, it was the BIG kind!) It was a great story - If I'm not mistaken, the guy bought the vehicle for $85.00, shined it up, and it was sure a hit with the children. The air horn was blown by the kids every once in a while, keeping Triple D and the rushgator awake and alert! Someone kept threatening to go up and "slap the smile off that kid's face", but not one of our group. WHAT A NIGHT! It really was fun for all, and I encourage all who can to make it an El Camino night July 11 at the Plano Mighty Muscle Car Show. Let's show 'em what we've got!!..........Ken :texas:

Well I do not want to get other people mad that their is an El camino class, but not a nova or chevelle class. I guess I will have to get my car club up and running soon

.... and Elkyvette and was an ugly ELKO but a beautiful Vette, and I want your dang EL CAMINO T shirt!!!:poke:

3-D..I think you merged me and Elkyvette into the same person. Did you breathe too much exhaust on the way home???:beer:
Good meeting a couple more of the NECOA elite this weekend! Hopefully my Elky will be ready to roll soon. Whoever said the Covette class at the show was competitive was right. I almost never get shut out of a trophy finish, but there were some seriously nice Vettes at the show. Maybe someday we can have as many Elkys in attendance as Vettes. Wouldn't that be something.:texas:
Also, congrats to Ken and Greg for bringing home the hardware. Very well deserved!:You_Rock:

Now come on man, you drove a vette and you wore an EKLY shirt.If that ain't ELKIVETTE I don't what would be! Sorry dude!
And the baddest Vettes didn't even show up!
But you have a super sharp one. I'll let you take my El Camino out for a spin if you'll let me drive your Vette. Then we both could say (I didn't do it but!!!) and have the tickets to prove it.:poke:
Be Cool
Donny

CONGRATULATIONS guys! Why not have an El Camino 50th Anniversary celebration at one of the shows?
