If you're referring to my pic that's Alex from 'A Clockwork Orange'.

No I won't be racing. Rain is threatening too Hopefully it holds off until later so we can see some action.

I went to this show sunday. pretty good attendance I would guess around 100 or so cars all Olds, from the 30s to 2000s (one alero) . There were plenty of 70-72 Cutli, a bunch 68-69s including 1 69 HO, many 66-67 cutli, some super 88s and 98s several 80s cars deltas cutlass even a couple race cars. Overall a very good representation of Oldsmobile. The weather was really nice until later in the afternoon (4ish) when it started raining. I met up w COs own miles71 who was kind enough to show me his car and some of the effort he's put into it and talked to a few other Olds guys so it was a good time for me. Ive been to a bunch of cruise nights in the past couple years and have maybe seen 10 or so Olds total so to have 100+- at 1 show was a real treat for me !!!

The venue Kimballs farm (lancaster) (ice cream, fried food, touristy gift shop) was real nice too and convieniently located...maybe 40-45mins from Boston NH or CT. The show was well organised and overall a great event thanks GMO and others who made it happen

I snapped just a couple pics from the 2nd floor of the farmstand so you can get an idea of the show!!!

I was there, I didn't take the car but I went to see some of my fellow GMOers. I didn't see Jmiles's car there, maybe I missed it. :/ Shame, he seems like a real nice fellow, would have liked to meet him.

It's supposed to rain but that is a good thing for me as I have a commitment on Sat. My buddy is going to be racing there in his front engine slingshot type dragster he just bought. 327 Chevy in it he revs to the stratosphere. If they postpone it until June I'll try and make that one.

I was not able to attend, last year it was a great show and i wanted to go this year but prior commitments prevented that...I was hoping for the rain date ! I still had a great sunday and was able to work some "car activities" into it as well tho

as a plus I was home when I got what I consider a semi serious bite on my 442 for sale (see the cars for sale ad here on CO) semi serious=the wife was into it so that makes the husbands job easy

did you (eric) or anyone else here go ?

I couldn't make it either. Yard work and kids dominated the weekend.

I still have to dust off the 442 (change oil, get inspection sticker, wash, etc.). May be this weekend seeing I have an extra day.

Good luck with your sale. Fingers crossed.
