Some pictures from Garlits Museum

[donsrods]

We only spent about an hour inside the museum and Dan didn't take a whole lot of pictures, but here are a few.

We are going to go back and spend a whole day in there. The place can not be described, it is room after room of really cool stuff and lots of memories.

I was too busy working the show to even get close to the museum. I've been there a number of times and always see something new. To go through both museums and really see them takes a full day, at least. It's well worth the trip. Thanks for coming to the show! Mike

That museum was great. Thanks for the pics Don. My brother took pics inside the museum too. One of us will post them eventually.

Yep Mike, you guys working the show were all hustling the entire day. We were chatting with Glenn (Ahotrod) for a while as he was playing traffic cop directing people into spots, and he was definitely hopping the whole time.

We were very impressed that the Poorboys took the time to say thank you for coming to everyone they saw, showed a lot of class. My impression of the entire Poorboys group is that they are really a special group of folks anyway.

We can't stop talking about the great time we had............I liked it even better than Turkey Run, and that is saying something.

I have to agree with you Don, much better than Daytona. For me, it was be best show I have ever attended. I would love to see more of this in Florida, especially in the north central part.

Well shucks, Don. We were genuinely happy that so many folks chose to come to Billetproof that it would not be right to ignore them. It only takes a second to say thanks and it always leaves a good impression. I like when folks do that for me at a show. We figured that, at least 75-80% of the people responded with "no, thank you" to us. We were stoked at all the good vibes.
Most of us were buddies long before the Poor Boys deal was offered to us. I think that went a long way to us having our act together for this. We're all tired and sore but, are looking forward to next year.
We have something in the works for later this year. Still just talking about it but,there will an announcement if we decide to do it. I'll leave it at that for the moment.
Thanks for the kind words. Hope to meet up somewhere. Mike
