I recognize a lot of those cars. Been out in quite a few of them too.

I can vouch for Bill Derkson's car being just about the quickest in the Americas!

Nice job on the event coverage Mr Thompson !!

I have a few questions though;

-Where's your car?
-why are all the roofs up in the exposition area ?
-why did everybody appear to empty out there trunks in front of the cars? (guessing there was judging ??)

My car was in Houston. It is required to put the head up and to empty out the boot. Those are suppose to be "Displays" in front of the cars! All the other stuff is placed behind the cars. At Triumphest, each car is judged and receives an award.

I see the girl with the Spider on her Spider was there. Saw the car in the Triumphest that Monica took pictures of (unless there's two). I want to do something similar for the car shows up here. Just have to find the time.
