Folks:

An update on the weekend:

The potentially bad weather held off on Saturday and turned fantastic for Sunday and Monday.

There was quite a turnout of replicas for the NE Shelby Club show on Sunday. There was representation of just about every manufacturer present and a potential buyer had the opportunity to compare the "good, the bad and the ugly."

Following the show a couple of us cruised the backroads of Litchfield, Columbia and Dutchess Counties ending up at an excellant little restaurant near Millbrook, New York. The restaurant staff all came out to check out the cars and they insisted that we park on the lawn. The spot has a great view to the west and the surrounding horse farms. (Oh, and excellant food too. We went for the ribeye steaks grilled over a wood fire.)

Fantastic weekend... to the point that we may head back up in early October and do it all again.
