10pm-4am Friday night into sat morning spend that time cleaning up the monte,

6-6;30am sat waiting for the gates to open and it starts just down pouring!

6:30-8am sat waiting for the registration tent to open,

was finially in and found the people from my club,

rained till about idk 9;30 or so then kept sprinkling for a hour or 2 off and on,

but here are the few i took with my cellphone will have more to add when i get the camera hooked up to the comp, i'll snage ones from my clubs site too

Hi `Justin,
Great to read that you had a awesome time with everything that you had to do to get there & be in the show...Your Monte Carlo looks brand new. It's great that it did not rain all day & that you got to check out a lot of rides...Look forward to your additional pic's...

WoW, `Jack is getting big...(Time sure is going fast) It's great that he was with you to share events like this...

Thanks for posting/sharing~> EnJoyed 4-Sure

it was a blast, after the show sat ( had been up for 36 hrs at that point)
we went down to harmar where alot of people go after now that the old drive in porkey's is gone and watch them cruise up n down, then on our way home saw a the parking lot of the downtown sears packed so we drove through and met up with some friends and hung out there for a while (up for about 40-41 hrs at that point,finially went home and got some sleep,

more pics will be comming with time as people upload them and i can gather them,

Jack is getting big and i can't belive he is 3 already, he aswell had a blast, actually suprised a few people when he knew a bunch of the cars names!

i'm stoked to go next year, i can't wait!!

ny tail lights and engine cover where the hit of the car for the people who actually looked at it, got a fair amount of just walk pasts, some saying "whats that doing here", and one's saying it's a neat daily,

honestly i will never go to car craft as a just a spectator ever again, even if i was in a hunk o junk spending the little extra to get the car in aswell is well worth it, can go all 3 days have a place to sit, a cooler in the trunk and cruise to see all the cars, if i brought like the intrigue i would stop by the clubs spot drop the chairs and go find a desolet are to park it only $45 if you pre register and $65 day of show, so for a extra $15 or $35 you get to have your car, go more than 1 day, goodie bag from car craft, a cooler, chairs, be able to cruise, i think it is well worth it!

I'm so going next year!

That sucks it rained right after you spent all that time cleaning it up? Did you have to quick detail it again?

Great pics
