Man that was fun :) My friend Tony (Tagalong :rofl: ) commented several times to me what a great time - it was Tony's first car show - he had as we headed from Carlisle to East Stroudsburg for the next stop on my road trip to visit our friend Billy; all three of us have known one another since 3rd grade. Billy recently was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer that has metasticized and he's on the fourth or fifth chemo session and is doing well. I didn't want to mention that during the show as to me this year was the year for the push on Andy's car. Cancer doesn't discriminate and hits close to home for many of us :(

After a few hours at Billy's, Tony and I continued on to the next stop on my road trip, Brooklyn, where the three of us grew up way back when, arriving at the hotel minutes before 6pm right on schedule. I'll be hanging out here just chilling through Friday morning before driving to Charlotte to spend a few more days with Tony, then finally heading back to Alabama.

Tony and I both had a blast meeting and hanging out with everybody; he just took car service from the hotel to Kennedy Airport where he'll fly back to Charlotte. After I get back to Alabama I'll post up my pictures :picture:

I posted in another thread that I made the 8 hour ride with no issues other than the typical rain.  Stopped for gas once and arrived in Michigan right on schedule! Spend a couple hours with the wife before she made her trip to Chicago for her work week.  I have to respect her 4 hour drive every week to work.   I was so tired that I went to bed at 9 and fell out of bed in the morning at 9.  12 hours of rest was needed!  Big thanks to Viper . . . . dork, jerk, punk, kid, boy and who know what else I called him this weekend and his lovely wife for all that they did for the group this year and every year!  Lunch was great and I had so much fun talking with all the members of our Mopar group!

We got back last night in good time. It took us 10-12 minutes at U-Haul to unload the car and drop the trailer. Our time improved considerable compared to the 5 hrs and 40 mins to pick up the trailer and load the car!!! :faint:

I haven't seen any post by Rob, Shelbydog...........  From Missouri.
He trailered his ride....

I made it okay. Took about 13 hours.  Trying to catch up with a bunch of stuff then also get ready for the Mopar Nationals in Columbus Ohio in 3 weeks.

Looks like we missed Ralph Gilles doing a burnout in the Hellcat, while we sat under the tent.
