Jonesboro Carshow




The Jonesboro Lions club puts on this show as a fund raiser each year for their great work !It's an indoor show held in the ASU arena what a nice spot !Mike and Sindy invited Jill and I to go, and it was a really tough time for me because i was still in pain after surgery,and not sleeping well ... I know quit ger whining huh !
The "Lil"Nova did well and raked in a First place award which made it all better !Think Jill found a Mustang she wanted to have ,ha ha !

Goodguys Auto cross




It was a blast watching the Auto Cross at this show , its basically a closed course with tight turns marked off in cones in the parking lot. Any participant could race their car or ride along with pro drivers from many of the sponsor cars such as Ride Tech and Spectre .The cars blast around the track with tires smoking and brakes too!,while the clock records their times. Mike and I begged and pleaded with several drivers to get Greg Duncan in one of the cars as they were gonna shut down early because it was soon to rain. Well we made it happen and he had a fast ride in a slick 68 Camaro,it had to be a thrill ! All types of cars and trucks raced from the "Ring Brothers" bad assed Mustangs to a crazy dude with a 30 model ford that was set up to drag race !

Goodguy Show Nashville





Hey all! Recently returned from the Goodguys Auto show in Nashville .Traveled with Mike Helton and we trailered his Nova. We were invited to stay with the Krueger family in Centerville, which was a lot of fun! Albert took his CJ Jeep to the swap meet in hopes of a quick sale. but it seems the economy is still holding many people back!The little Jeep is a cool ride, complete with a stout 327 and custom paint job.Someone is going to get a great deal on this 4 x 4 ! The show was great my estimate on the number of cars was 1000 to 1500 perhaps.
While at the show we met up with fellow Memphian ,Greg Duncan the owner of the "Blue Devil" a killer 69 Camaro show car . This beauty is absolutely fantastic,and attracts tons of attention!,and although it appears to be a trailer Queen ,Greg drove the car to Nashville,as he has to many events !We were not at all shocked when Gregs Camaro was selected as one of the top cars in the show, and was honored with a trophy from corprate sponsor,"Billet Specialties" for top muscle car.So congrates to Greg for being in the winners circle,or as he referred to it as the Weinners circle! What a cut up he is,and I believe he spoke to every person at the show!
