1990 Sturbridge, MA....2002 Cincinnati, OH.....2003 Hershey, PA.....
1990 my 74EMS came in second in the 99 class(I have a nice book signed by six Saab notables as the prize, I still cherish this book), 2002 my viggen blue 73EMS came in third in the 99 class[they said I should have been in the modified class, but I got a nice $5 detail kit for my efforts(sarcasm)], 2003 the 73 came in third in peoples choice 99's and the 75 came in fourth in the 99 concourse, because it wasn't finished yet(they gave me the voting tally sheet and I finished restoring it to near factory specs based on the points lost).
I know all about parts for sale, though there were none to speak of in Cincinnati...Hershey was 100 times better(I spent at least $500 in NOS parts).
I DON'T SELL PARTS!!....and I won't do it to finance a trip west, period!
And I know all about fellowship. I had the time of my life at all three conventions I've been to. Sturbridge memories are really fuzzy[drugs and alcohol, but I have some pictures to prove I was there(one below), and my name is in NINES], Cincinnati was extremely hot all four days(but I stayed outside in the heat all weekend, and my 73's picture is in NINES), Hershey was alot of walking(I pounded so much pavement my shins still hurt, but no mention in NINES that I was even there, even though my cars accounted for almost 10% of the 99's in attendance)
There are enough east coast events this year to satisfy me. I just have to decide which car to drive to which event.
