Default AACA Central Division Fall Meet -- Bettendorf

Are any barners going to (or already at) the AACA Central Division Fall Meet that's happening this week in Bettendorf, IA? If so, I'd love to meet you. Although I don't have a car worthy of judging, I'll be at the show field tomorrow. I'll take pics if there are any EF V-8s.

I really wanted to go but couldn't make it. It should be great.

It ended up being a great day at the AACA meet. Not a whole lot of EF V8 iron, but as promised, I took some pictures. I apologize for not being a great photographer.

I think my favorite car of the whole show was a mid '20s Hispano-Suiza Touring. The engine compartment was a masterpiece of polished metal. Note the amazing fan belt. I didn't take any pics of the whole car, but did capture the engine and dash.
