Anyone planning on going to the Grand National in Augusta next weekend?

66-68shelby_old · August 26, 2007 at 9:14 AM

We will be there. Getting there mid day Friday. Thinking of driving to the Friday night cruise.

Glad to see someone else here is going. Not sure if I'll make the cruise but should be there sometime late Friday afternoon. Look me up!

Wow, only one forum member besides myself taking a K to the grand? I'm disappointed...

Heading out Thursday AM, plan on rolling into Augusta mid afternoon Friday. No internet access till I get back sometime late Monday night.

Hope there are more K's there than responses to this thread, lol.

Look me up and introduce yourself if you do make the show...

I know I am disappointed in not having a car that can make it. But those of us in the Great Northwest would have a very expensive journey indeed were our Kars up to the trip. We wish to live vicariously through the wonderful pictures ya'll post for our enjoyment. Have a ball, and tell it like it was<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Well, I saw a total of 3 K's at the show (including mine). From the forum I believe we had 2 K's, mine and Gary's. There was a special paint 66 there with auto tranny that I never could find the owner of. Didn't write down the VIN and don't remember if I took a pic of it until I get a chance to go through my pictures. Pretty dismal K turnout...

Harvey, it was great meeting you and your Shelby. Hope you got some gas in the beast and got it on the trailer ok!

I learned that artificial lighting sure does show every little flaw in your paint! Was nice being in A/C and out of the rain though...

Made it back to the trailer. They take the gas from the cars with too much and put it in the cars with not enough. Great to meet you and congrats on you Gold.

We were there. Drove three days to arrive and three days home >4000 miles. It was worth it. Got to park in front of Meryln's beautiful K.

We didn't have our K though. KAOS's engine blew up in June.

Trailered our 64.5 Indy Pace coupe.

However, we picked up another K engine on the way home.

KAOS will be running again next year.

Sadly, not enough time to get it ready for the M+ event in October.

Forgot to say...

We thoroughly loved seeing SteveP as a Village Idiot!

Had a great time and meet some nice people. It sure was nice to be inside with the A/C. I put 2500 miles on the truck and trailer.

I expected it to be hotter.

I never saw the owner on the 'K'Koupe with the special order paint. The car is from Connecticut but I have never seen it here.

I saw him jump in the car and drive out in a big hurry, had no chance to try to talk to him.

I only put 1700 miles on mine... lol

Thanks for the compliment Joyce, your pace car sure was looking good too!
