Lonnie treed me again ! lol
Yeh, but you got there FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!Lonnie treed me again ! lol
Phil ,I met you and Candy for the first time at Super Chevy at Indy in the 80s . I came with Denny, you left passes for us at a gate , I don't remember witch gate but it wasn't the main one. Denny had the red and gray diesel Suburban at the time. I'm giving these details because I can't remember what year it was. It could have been 1983. I also remember I drank a lot of your beer that day. lol I agree with you about SC . Indy was packed with cars and vendors. Don't get me wrong I enjoy SC today because I get to see old 348-409 friends and meet new ones .Here is my thoughts on Super Chevy.
I feel fortunate to have gone to Indy Super Chevy starting in 1983. What I call the good ole days. In this part of the country, guys would work on their show cars and race cars for 11 months just to be ready in July. Indy was our Super Bowl. Then SC got real popular and they started have events all over the country. They got greedy. Then.....they started to dilute their product by having too many events. Then attendance started down after a while. That's my opinion why the attendance has dropped.
Same situation with NASCAR.
No Phil but I remember him having the 63 there and telling me about you. That was before I was there with him.I would too Bo if I would go. But in the mid 80's......seems like there were TONS of 409 cars.
Were you there when I had Denny's black 63 409 SS in my booth?
And jacked the prices WAY up for vendors. Then they got rid of the small food vendors and made everyone buy that slop that NHRA sold. Plus wasn't there a year where they had oiled the gravel roads and then it rained? They made everyone drive there show cars through that oily mess. There was oil everywhere in the swap section. It might of been goodguys but, I don't think so.Here is my thoughts on Super Chevy.
