Today was great day for a car show. The Rhode Island Chevy Association put on a top-notch show. Good organization and very well run. Almost 400 Chevy's showed up at the park. The weather was great.
There was a class for every Chevy made including two classes for El Camino's. A stock class and a modified class. I was in the stock class and other NECOA members (John Harris, Allen Reed, and Bill) were in the modified class. NECOA member Dave Bates arrived about 15 minutes late for the cut off and they wouldn't let him in. So, Dave came in as a spectator. I went with him when he left and got a quick picture of his super nice '65.
In the modified class, Bill (ECC ID -bill) won first place and Allen Reed (ECC ID -83nhelky) won second place. In the stock class, I took second place. I'm a very firm believer that Dave's '65 would have won also.

But you want to know what was so great??? When they were announcing the winners from NECOA, the announcer would say "from the National El Camino Owners Association....." I noticed that it was the only "club affiliation" mentioned during awards.
Mental note for next year. Call Dave early and get his butt to the show early 8-). Sorry Dave, just had to get one minor dig in....
