Re: Motivation and Hype - Add it here!
A few from the very first "national" gathering...
(Actually, international, Richard came over from England)
Springfield, MO
1995
There were actually more trucks that showed up the next day. It was a big car show, one of the CarCraft/Special Events deals.
Left to right ... ? #689, Dave Kripal's Ty, Ron (APE fuel pumps) Gregory, ?
Some fat guy with a bag. Apologies if you're the fat guy.
Todd (Austinson, of ultimate chip fame) was planning on showing, but he broke the schrader valve part of the fuel rail off backing it out of the driveway.
We drank a lot of beer, polished and re-polished. They were still relatively new then.
The notorious "sleeper" pics... about 1 mile of old Route 66.
These were taken along the way to Springfield.
Large resolution "sleeper" pic... from an 8x10.

More to come... Dang, I've got a lot of stuff from years gone by. Old HAN stuff, early Nats.
GLG1, shop photos from the 1st Sy to have a wide-band on it outside of GM...
