Default Houston Autorama

Just wondering if any forum members plan to show their car or attend the Autorama next week. The show dates are November 26-29 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

There are three events within the show including the Autorama itself, the ISCA championship and the Chevy/Vette Fest so it should be an interesting event.

This will be our first event in the Southwest and we're looking forward to the show. We hope we can get a chance to meet members of the Forum there.

Great. We'll look for you there.

Hope you have a shorter drive to get there than we do. Ours is 1,776 miles but we're looking forward to seeing the cars and meeting the folks from an area we haven't been to before.

So Rich - How did you do in the show? Was able to see Split Personality in person and the car is awsome. Mag pics that I have seen don't do it justice. Hope you did well and enjoyed your visit to Texas.

We had a great time at the show. Even the 3,600 mile round trip was fun. Got to meet several Forum members in person which was great. Also got a chance to see the downtown Thanksgiving parade, the Art-Car parade and take in the park in front of the hotel and convention center. The convention center is one of the best we've been to as it's clean and well maintained. It was a well organized event.

We were fortunate enough to win the ISCA class championship for "Full Sports" and second in the Custom category. Every car in the finals was a super car as were the many local cars we saw. The most fun for us is meeting the people from different parts of the country, seeing their cars and getting a feeling for the local area.

Glad you had a chance to stop by. We always enjoy speaking with all the folks who stop by the most of anything.
