Default Eureka Springs

Had a GREAT time at Eureka Springs weekend. BULLSHARK got the "Corvette Museum Choice" award for his 69 blue conv. Probably the most coveted award of the weekend. Nice car. Will see about getting pictures.

Great job Bullshark!......LT

He didn't forget to put the clutch in and run over anyone did he? That would sure ruin a weekend.

I would love to see some pics. I have seen a few posted but the show was big and not everyone saw everything.

No, we all stood clear when he started her up. It was a great weekend and very worthwhile going. Dont expect to win any trorhys unless you are from Oaklahoma cause its a participant judging event, but who cares. Lots of neat vettes and C3s. Also a lot to do in and around Eureka Springs along with several different activities for the vettes. looking forward to next year!......LT

Let's not leave out the most important award that was given out this weekend. ltinnel and Bullshark won the fuel economy run on Friday. You read that right, they won the FUEL ECONOMY RUN. That has to be some kind of oxymoron....a C3 and fuel economy. By the way, Bullshark was the navigator of ltinnel's car and not driving the Blue 69 in these pictures and they checked in at 37mpg and came in 1st overall. So I guess it is true, that once you get a few years on you, your driving does slow down.

I think the best part was trying to drag Bullshark by his feet to go up and accept the Fuel Econemy award. ..LT

Hey Gator, I herd about a new strategy used by a scrupulous Shark in this years Fuel Economy Run.

Loosen the bolts on the fuel pump!!!!!!!

Just don't forget to tighten them back up before heading back home.
