Jim,

Great seeing you and Tom yesterday!

Another outstanding set of pics Jim.

Love the pic of the lead horses; how did you get them to do that?

Hope you did not get rained on too bad on your way home.

We caught some rain leaving town, but my Vette wasn't going to get any dirtier than it was after the morning shower and road spray.

You sure got it at a good angle. None of that stuff showed up in the pic. Hard to believe it took over an hour and a half this morning to clean it up.

See you down the road my friend!

Steve

Thanks Mikko........I never did hear the head count but would guess around 10,000 for the weekend....not quite the number they had last year as far as I could tell...

Imagine you had a not-so-fun drive home in the rain...I got back to the hotel just in time to put my top on before the downpour hit.
At least it waited till evening to strike. ...
Hey Tom, great to see ya' again and enjoyed visiting with you.......the rain hit just outside of Effingham and pretty much continued most of the way home......
Did the concert get rained out?....
