Awesome !!

Your brother registered too, right? Or was that another Chris?

I’m Chris, he’s Shane, I believe he registered his barracuda the other day also. There should be one or two more of us registering their cars soon.
 
Please check out this great Spring Fling show article from the official Dodge Garage website!

Lots of old pictures down memory lane too!

Please "like" the article to show support of West Coast events. Comments are even better. It really helps the show.

Any vendors on this thread that will be attending the Fling be selling hardware? Particularly exhaust manifold hardware? Didn’t know if this what the right place to ask. I was gonna order some but thought supporting our vendors was better .

It would be nice if TTI would actually bring stuff to sell instead of just having displays.

Lots of green. Not muddy at all.

This is the second year in a row people ask if our cars are here to be sold. Tell em no then get the “oh I get the ratty look I guess”
 
Swap seemed a little light with lots of holes in the rows. As for the condition, it LOOKED good, but lots of holes and ruts. Donna got stuck in her Jazzy several times and the uneven terrain made for a harsh ride. Every park may be the same way, though. BUT, as usual, had a good time and saw friends, including a young man I've known about 40 years (he's probably not quite 50).
