I sold my hot rod last year and replaced it with a '67 wagon so no BP for me unless I come to spectate. Hope it's a good show, though. Have fun and take lots of pics.

My new heap is sorta' outside the Billetproof parameters so I may or may not go. I'm not much of a spectator though. We'll see. Even if you both go in Dan's car, you know it'll be a fun trip. And you can relax and enjoy the ride. :D

Hi Don, Thanks for the compliment. Yep, the coupe is now in a new home in Alabama. Sold it last fall. I now have a '67 Olds Vista Cruiser to play around with. Hope you and the boys are doing well. Mike

Hey, that's my gold coupe in the very beginning. First time I went to Billetproof as a spectator so I got to enjoy the whole deal. I ended up selling the car last year. It was fun but time for something else.

Mark me "absent" from Facebook too. I killed my account some time ago.What a waste of time it is. As was mentioned, I already know how to find friends and they know how to contact me. I don't need to be "liked" by 400 imaginary friends and I don't miss it a bit.

I was hungry as hell when we got home so went and got some awesome Chinese take-out and stuffed myself. Managed to stay awake 'til about 11 and crashed. Slept like a rock, got up at 9 and washed the bugs off the hotrod and am ready to go again. Not to rub it in but, we had the windows open...

Thanks Don, I don't know who won what as we left about 3pm. I figure there will be more info in the next couple of days. Thank goodness for the breeze and good sunblock. For once I got home NOT burned up. :D

We had a great time at Billetproof and it was so good to be back at Garlits' place. Just a great day to be outdoors, lots of cool hot rods, pin-up chicks and some rockin' bands, what more could you want? :D I had a blast. It was good to see both Don and Dan. Sorry I missed you Bill. No way...

The best set of pictures I've seen from this event. Thanks a lot for sharing them and also for having them show up large, rather than deal with thumbnails.

Bill, We kept looking for you at the gate, hoping you'd change your mind. Sorry you didn't make this one. As far as the show moving, it's just "exploritory" right now. Feedback has indicated that moving further south may help more Florida folks to be able to attend. We all know there are...

Thanks for the suggestion Don. The problem is we don't know the parks/fairgrounds/racetracks that some others might know of. Being just a "see what's out there" post, any suggestions can be looked at. I'm happy to pass any info along to Alan. Just give me some basic info. Any ideas appreciated.

I thought you knew that heap was mine. Thanks for the compliment. I had the "For Sale" sign with me under the seat but decided to hold off a little. One slight correction, the Best Truck award was built and chosen by Yaril's Customs in South Florida. (Hope I got that right).

Well, that very topic came up. The idea of having it at a racetrack also is something to consider. Lakeland is a good middle of the state location but there are probably other places to consider too. Got a suggestion, sent it to Alan or Glenn or myself. Ultimate decision is, of course, Alan's...

Well, not only did he make it, Dans awesome RPU scored Best of Show and Best Truck. Major props to Dan for gettin' it done and so well done. [cl Mike

It'll be good to see you guys again. See ya there.
