Saturday, JUNE 5, 2010 - DOVER CAR SHOW - DOVER AIR FORCE BASE -
It was a dark and stormy night, ONLY KIDDING,.................... It really was a hot and humid day as we started out very early in the morning to the Dover Air Force Base Car Show. The "Northern Division" of the KSCC came together (Tom Neilson, Mike Custer, Bill Foley, Mike Barasha) and met up with the "Southern Division" KSCC (Ken Woodcock, David Priest, Brett Hampson) at Jennison at the MacDonald's. First order of business, where do we eat, here and have a quick bite or down the road to a restaurant? Someone in the group (Tom) wanted to go to restaurant. Off we go. We finally reached the restaurant and the food was good but service slow. We told them we had to get on the road to Dover, didn't seem to make them go any faster......Anyway, we ate and off we go again.......Mike Barasha leading. We looked and sounded great as always ! With walkie talkies in hand keeping everyone together.
Finally we made it to our
destination....Mike B slowly leading us onto the base towards the Museum
building as we were surrounded by huge air planes. We were told and shown
where to park and we ended up beside a C-141B Starlifter - HUGE HUGE
plane. The person in charge parked us side by side and after he left, Bill
Foley had us all go back in our cars to line us up in a diagonal formation -
it did look good. With hoods up, rags out, the process of cleaning was
underway. Some of us found a great spot with shade under the wing of this
airplane that we were beside and there was a big breeze blowing - good thing
it was partly cloudy or it would have been even hotter! We were all set up,
filled out our paperwork, went to the opening ceremony, had free soda and
pizza, went to gift shop and museum (in the air conditioning ) walked around
looking at other cars there and back to our shady breezy hot spots.
There were activities going on all around
us, planes landing, etc. Many military families were there and Mike Barasha
now has the name of "Bad
Boy" because... . For all that
weren't there..... at that moment a little
boy came up to Mike's car with his family and repeated loudly and excited a
couple of times to his dad " LOOK AT THAT BAD BOY" , "LOOK AT THAT BAD
BOY", then walked around back and said DAD you could fit a kid in the back
here! Well we couldn't stop laughing and Mike was getting a kick out of
it.....that kid just called MY CAR 'BAD BOY'. Well, for the rest of the day,
that's all we said and heard.
It was now time for the awards..........I
usually go up with everyone else to see what is going on but to tell you the
truth, I was too hot to move (Patti Foley, Annette Custer and I stayed behind
and made sure the chairs were not blowing around) When the guys came
back........FIVE of them had awards in hand. KSCC DID IT AGAIN!!!!!
There were 20 Top Picks - Mike Custer &
Brett Hampson won trophies for this .
There were (5)
Medal of Honor Winners
which are 5 special awards given to show participants judged to be better than
the Top Twenty and given in Memory of actual "Medal of Honor" Recipients.
Each show participant received a trophy and plaque which depicts the story of
the actual Medal Recipient's act of bravery, above & beyond the call of duty,
for which he/she (in many cases) gave their lives for and which this award is
presented in honor of today's event. Ken
Woodcock and Bill Foley won this award.
AND...Best of
Show went to 'BAD BOY' - Mike Barasha!!!!!!
All were
surprised and happy they won! We were also very happy to see their faces as
they won and proud of KSCC. Cameras came out, pictures taken (which will be
put on website) and all congratulated each other. Great Day!

Strictly
Corvette Show - April 24-25, 2010 - Atlantic City, NJ Convention Center
Excitement was
building all week for this show. Whose cars were still being worked on,
who was finishing up polishing, etc., whose car was still being
"inspected", etc. A BIG BIG BIG Thanks to
John Puccella -
Randy's car ran great. Bill Foley had his brand new "inspection
sticker" plus a couple of secret add-ons was done just in time and Mike
Barasha's car had his finishing touches that he completed.
On Friday
morning, April 23, 2010 at 10:30 am 7 KSCC corvettes started out
together with Bob Gray leading us in his good looking 1963 corvette on
our way to NJ. All the vettes looked absolutely fantastic. It was a
beautiful sunny day, went by way of
Commodore Barry Bridge, didn't like the construction along the
way, but OH THE LOOKS WE WERE GETTING! We looked
great and sounded even greater!! All of us had
walkie-talkies and it was a fun drive, especially with the comments :)
We all pulled into the AC Convention
Center around lunchtime and the excitement was still growing.
After we were all settled in our spots, out came the rags, cleaners,
etc. Lou Labron, Bill Foley & Mike Barasha were all together on the
main floor "Display". Bob Gray, Tom Neilson & Mark Regester were in the
"Walk In History".
Saturday morning came, gates were open to public and judging
started with their checklist and gloves! You have to imagine a
convention hall filled with beautiful corvettes - all years and colors -
you knew there was a lot of competition out there! Tom Neilson had so
many people around his car talking about the ZR-1. Ken Woodcock's
beautiful award winning corvette was on the
red carpet
"Display" along with Randy Hofer's "Blue Angel" corvette (they were
across from each other). Their displays were great with their magazine
articles and pictures and Randy had a video of his vette from the start
in the woods to present. We met alot of nice people and saw many
familiar faces & friends from other clubs.
On Sunday
at 3pm the awards started.....There were 3 awards in each
class.......... Have to tell you that KSCC Rocks! Can't believe all the
awards we won with a "judged" show. Won 5 awards out of 8 KSCC
cars that participated. ALL our club cars are winners with or without
award!! All of us were so very happy for our club winners.
Thanks for
participating and representing our Club in the Strictly Corvette Show
and thanks to those that came down to check the show out. We had a
great time. Congratulations to all!
Pictures to follow
soon.
