Been waiting all year and finally a Local show that is not cancelled. 2020 AutoCrusade is on at the Cumming, Ga. fairgrounds. Not sure but the road course seems on as well. I have Thursday and Friday off to detail the Fish to show and maybe prep the 2015 1.4 turbo Dart/Motor Home tow car to run the Road course. Looking forward to it.

Hope the weather is good, as lasts years mini Hurricane truly sucked! It was so bad last year in the last hour it was raining So hard and upside down and sideway's at times! First time I Ever had an issue with the fish as the rain came in through the cowl. In fact 3 Mopars were awarded last year and the other two (B’s) had the same issue, and were soaked inside! Car went home over the tree carnage and the Garage unit set to de-humidify with the battery disconnected and doors open! Big "***" fan running through it! It took two days to dry it out.

In the PNW we've only had one actual Mopar show - the NW Mopar Nationals at Woodburn Drag Strip in OR. They cancelled the swap meet part of it and limited participation to folks that brought a show car or the drag racers and crew. They had lots of room so no big deal to keep distance around the show cars (which were all parked about 10 feet apart) or in the stands for drag racing... All in all given the situation I'd give it an A++.

Many shows, including the one my local Mopar club sponsors, are going to cruises. I miss the shows, but I hope that when covid 19 is just a bad memory, the sponsors keep doing the cruises too! I've spent more time this year hot rodding around with a bunch of cool cars than I ever have and I think it's a blast!!! Lemonade from lemons...
 
All I got for the mess. 300 cars! But was fun and the weather cleared for a great grilled dinner at the campground with Parents and friends!

Yall might find this funny.... daughter had tickets to a concert dated early August. She was notified that the date changed to Aug. 19th. So her and son-in-law drove to the venue yesterday afternoon to find they were the only ones there. She looks again to realize the new date is in fact Aug. 19th... but 2021 ! Arrived a year early LMAO
 
That’s all I’ve been doing, going to car cruises and just enjoying the drive. Our local cruise in at the park has gotten so big, guys and gals are parking on the side streets and all around town, just to come and enjoy the cars. The Mopar showing is getting really big, close to 1/3 of the cars are Mopars. Heck, even the Hemi, max wedge, and high dollar cars are coming. It’s a great time in our little town!
 
Polished the Centerlines for the first time since 2014 today. Rain is iffy for tomorrow, will see in the morning, but car loaded with chairs, awning and more! Drove by today and the auto cross was wet but running! We will see in the morning how the weather plays.
 
I used some polish from Chrome-IT that I use on the Coach Alcoa wheels. Much easier than Mother’s!
 
Cool rig today.

46 D200 rodded with 1St Gen Cummins! Nicely done enjoy!

It was nice to go out to a car show today “First time this year” and have some resemblance of normality! A 68 FB With 360 showed late and parked next to us! That was good to! Another show in two weeks!

I've had my car out 3 times this year.

Once for my buddy's kids Birthday Parade

Hopefully 2021 will be better!
 
It sure was great, and was fun to drive down and participate yesterday at the show. Almost 300 cars, thought more would show than did, but Fun none the less! Lets kill the Covid worries!

American Legion I belong to had their annual show today.
Usually a good year is 75 -90 cars.
We had 182 registered today plus a few that didn't.
The cruise in that goes down a few towns over, has been crazy! 300+ cars at that.
