Here's me with Big Daddy! Just hanging out! I got an autographed T shirt and a '37 fan, that Big autographed. Now I've gotta get a '37 Ford!

Well, another "Barner's Bash" has come to a successful conclusion. I think its safe to say that everyone had a blast at the NPD tour on Friday, Billetproof at Don Garlits Museum on Saturday and at the BBQ & raffle today. I want to thank everyone that took time to join us; we had beautiful weather all three days and as usual, John, Barb & Mr. & Mrs. Moose hit a home run with the BBQ. I did not even get a chance to take any photos but I know other Barner's did and I'm sure they will post them. Bill Wzorek outdid himself yet again with the Miss Shelly award, this year’s recipient is the one and only Lawson Cox, our resident Octogenarian. Bill had a beautiful pocket watch made with a hand painted picture of Lawson’s ’35 Pickup on the face and a silver V8 logo on the end of a leather watch fob. Congratulations to Lawson and to all the raffle winners (someone has photos and hopefully names of all the winners). I made a presentation to Bill at the request of Shelly, she created a web site for Bill's shock repair business as a gesture of appreciation for his participation and outstanding one of a kind award creations. Thanks again to all that donated to the raffle. Once I get myself somewhat organized... I'll try to post photos (with names) of the Barner's and their cars/trucks. Now it's time for a nap...

John, you and Barb need a trailer like that to pull behind the '46... Thanks again for all your help at the Barner's Bash. Vic

ME, WOW!!!. I am truly thankful and very impressed by being chosen as the recipient of the Miss Shelly Award this year. I only wish I could be more active, and attend some of the "Bashes", but seems I just can't get around like I used to.

Watch out Redneck, you are going to get that shop floor dirty if you don't watch it. LOL. Looking good. What are you using? Base coat clear coat?

[Brendan]

Hay, Lawson congratulations on your award!

Here are a few photos that put faces and names with cars, in no particular order.

Well, good morning - or, at least it is for me! We got back from the terrific Barners Bash at 8AM this morning. I drove the last 2 legs of the trip so I went to sleep, Earl went to work! No problems, no runs, no hits, no errors as they say on the way home - we were just alot further south coming home from Tarpon Springs than I imagined. The coupe performed like clockwork on t he way home - never missed a lick and nothing broke - at least that's until I check everything out on it over the next couple days.

It was a great weekend of events but hanging out with some great people really "makes it" - I really had a great time.

Thanks to Vic for all the coordinating, Bill for his thoughtful Miss Shelly award, Jeff for coordinating all of the photos - I met, "re-met", and reacquainted with some of the nicest people on the planet. And THAT's what it is all about ....

[Vic Piano]

Tom, I'm really glad you made it down this year, hopefully Earl will become a Flathead convert... Vic
