All-GM show Aug 13 Rockville, MD
I know Nationals are next week, but the All-GM show in Rockville, MD hosted by Capitol City Rockets is right behind on Sat, Aug 13 at Montgomery College. This is one of the few GM shows where Cutlii usually outnumber Camaros. We regularly get about 100 cars representing a wide spectrum of GM cars and trucks, including the Olds-powered GMC motorhome contingent. Where else can you see a Jetfire, a Citation X-11, a Yenko Vega, or a Cartercar? This year's theme is the 100th running of the Indy 500, so we will have a special Best Pace Car award. Show is peer-judged with trophies and door prizes. Food, DJ, and Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream available. Swap meet spaces also available.
More info is available here. Hope to see you at the show.

I took the red-eye this morning (Mom's in DC NW), but I have to go to CT on Thurs. I will be making a detour or two along the way back to DC so I don't know what my ETA is, but I think I will be back in time. :fingerscrossed:

I made it. Turnout was disappointing due to the oppressive heat and humidity. Had a cool conversation with Diego, and met some new folks as well as some old friends. I went looking for Joe, but couldn't find him before I left.

Had a great talk with Diego, who has some amazing data at his disposal. Sorry I missed Bruce, however. If you were there between 1:30 and 2:00, I was in one of the campus buildings tallying the ballots for the award ceremony.

With a couple of exceptions, the awards are peer-judged. Each registered car gets a ballot. We have Best of Show - Stock and Best of Show - Modified that are selected by a small committee (and in honor of this year's 100th running of the Indy 500, also a Best Pace Car award), but all the rest of the awards are selected by the participants. That means that awards are usually a "beauty contest" more than anything else, but we've tried to structure classes where the all-original brown four-door has a shot at winning. In this case, that Ninety Eight was gorgeous, despite being a more-door. There were a number of really nice Oldsmobiles that could have won, including Marvin Jackson's 1964 Starfire that took best-of-class at Kingsport and Zaman Kahn's modified 68 442 convert.
To be honest, I like to see different cars get recognized at our show.
