What a glorious weekend!
Had a great time after a LONG trip heading down... lots of traffic, 2 serious interstate accidents that held us up (one horrific one in Cape Girardeau) and 7 hours to get to Memphis.
Show day weather was perfect, the show was great. Cars are judged concours style, as well as a popular vote on all cars (not by class) for favorite car, best paint, best engine etc. Good fun, great people.
After the show the club held a 'gimmick' rally (where you answer questions as you drive along following the printed directions) that took us on some good Memphis area driving roads. It's always drive, particularly in new areas. I have to add here that the title of Evil Rallye Baster has been stripped from our club's Robert Rushing and bestowed upon Jim Duke. I have done a LOT of rallys but I had to resist calling Jim and cussing him out several times in the 2-2 1/2 hours we were driving. I missed more questions on this rallye than I've missed in all my rallys combined!!!
Then we went to the awards dinner at Coletta's Italian restaurant. If I would have eaten ONE more chunk of bread I'd have busted out my britches before dinner was served! (hey, I was famished, hadn't eaten all day!) A delicious meal, great program (albeit Jim Duke's lame jokes) and all in all a lovely evening. The auction was fun too. Would have been MORE fun if my tightwad husband hadn't had a very close eye on me!
We took the long road home, back up through some small Tennessee towns including Dyersberg and then into IL via Cairo and "followed the river" north up Route 3 home. Took us 8 hours to get home and worth every extra minute!!!
The Memphis car club puts on a first rate, classy show. Joe Reed and Jim Duke have absolutely lovely, sweet wives (amazing they have put up twith those two all these years!!)) Memphisians...thank you SO much for a successful show, a perfect weekend and more importantly, your hospitality!

Here's a picture of the high point "Best of Show" winner, a beautiful 1951 TD, 99.5 points out of 100. Where they found a 5/10 point deduction in that car is beyond me!!!
