The weather was the deciding factor for me, just didn't feel like driving in the rain :(

I hope the show was a success.

I kinda thought it would be raining for the drive up. Oh, well, we will have some sort of drive coming up.

I will have to phone Campbell and see how the rest of the weekend went. Hopefully no more crashes. I have personally seen 3 510's written off up there, it is totally unforgiving. I consider myself very lucky during my 14 years there.

Hey everyone,

Here is the link to the summary of the event. http://wp.me/p2etBx-Iz

Includes show winners and photos of every car.

Special thank you to Arnold Boles and everyone for donating seed money to ensure the 2014 event gets off to a flying start.

If there are any of you in the area (within about a 14 hour drive) you should make plans to attend next year. It is always on the same weekend (the Victoria Day weekend in Canada) which is the weekend prior to Memorial Day weekend in the US.

See you soon.

Wish I could have added my 510, maybe next year. Looks like it was a fun time.

Wow, getting caught in a snowstorm would be worse than last year's trip back at 4 am!
