Another great time in SB. The "rain" never really happened except for 10-15 minutes of sprinkles going over the pass to SLO (San Luis Obispo) on Sat. (Didn't even use wipers.........yes, they do work, but rain-X was sufficent) As you can see in the pictures the weather & show were great on Sunday.
We (wife Marv & I) on the other hand experianced another Big block design flaw on the way home as we were going thru Salinas. The rocker shaft on BB's is not supported at the end, this creates extra stress on the end of rocker shaft since it's not supported.........end result is the end of the shaft can break off which it did on the way back.(pictures tonight) Thanks to our support crew Andreas & Molly, John & Susann (who had AAA towing to get the car off the freeway. (sorry crew, I know you were looking forward to Cadilac margaritas at Chevy's while waiting for us to get a trailer) but thanks to Mr."P" Larry (who I called after we got off the freeway). he has AAA-Premire which we used to get our car the almost exact 100 miles to our garage. (good insurance against break down stress, I'll be signing up for AAA today, I asked and the tow would have been over $550
).
To answer a few of Andreas (Learnings):
Point System- These are WUS points which can be awarded to individuals that demontrate a "lack 'o-sack" in thought, statement or actions. The actual leader is Tony R. who at the last minute canceled his Not Knott's plans because "it MIGHT rain and I have to get ready for the wedding"......... He was going to be driving "the coupe" AND since when does the groom ever do anything to get ready for the wedding
Mike T. is actually in second place on these points. Mike didn't drive his Cobra (he couldn't get a bolt out of the diff cover was his excuse
) Mike did ride in Reno's car part way including during the breif shower. Mike did add to his total points through-out the weekend but didn't catch up with Tony.
Larry's "
oil" - ok I confess........when Larry moved his car we took some
oil from a quart we brought and poured it where his car had been parked. Then pointed it out to Mr. P when he returned and as Andreas said Larrys only comment was "Looks about right
(note: he does actually have a leak, but not nearly what was on the floor
)
Thanks to everyone that did attend we had a great time: cocktail receptions, dinner, Spa (ladies only, though a few guys said they were prepared and had brought their speedo's), cars and just in general a good time!
Thanks again,
The "monster's"
more- pictures to come soon
