Hey man,

I saw your car yesterday, it looks great! My car was entered in 2002, and I remember the awards ceremony were in mid afternoon. It has probably changed since then. (Hope that helps )

BTW - there is a 1991 ZR1 in the auction area, Arctic White, 16k miles, for $20k...hmm...wonder if he wants to trade?

Hope you win!

Thanks for the kind words Dave. Yeah, last year it seems like it was around 4:00, but I can't be sure. I even called the Reliant Hall info line and the lady who answered "had no idea" and was unable to find out for me from anyone else Go figure.

Thanks for the compliment Mike.

Calvin- I took 3rd in my class.

It was a great show......until I tried to start my car afterwards and the friggin battery was dead ......my 8 month old Optima Red Top at that. I have no faith in those batterys anymore. The battery was completely disconnected the entire show, but it still managed to go dead, WTF?.....a FORD had to jump me .
