Billetproof Northwest 2009

[Fletch]

Got back from Billetproof a couple of hours ago. It was a fantastic event, over 575 rides on the fairgrounds, great music, beautiful weather. This was the first year for the Model Car Contest. It didn't truly come together until the last minute so, I was a bit concerned about the turn-out. There was no time for fliers or posters at the LHS here in Portland or Seattle, all the advertising was word of mouth and on the internet. When all was said and done we had 110 models on the tables, 97 that were actually entered in the contest.

All I really had a chance to get was table shots between wondering about the fairgrounds and judging the contest.

The photos are before we had a chance to break the models into classes so the shot have a bit of everything in them.

You know Guys I have no idea how many "Car Shows" I've been to over the years but, the event yesterday was without a doubt it was the best I've ever been to. There were a few custom built cars thrown in the mix but to see the ingenuity that these people can come up with in their backyard garages was unbelievable.

At events like Good Guys and such everyone always seems to be in such a hurry. The car owners have no clue what was done to get the car to the point at which they drove it in. For the most part this group were true gearheads. They knew their stuff inside and out, front to back.

I'll go to Good Guys here in another month but, it will never be the same after Billetproof.

I can't wait until next year, not only for the show but, for a much bigger and better Model Contest.

I need to build a couple of Chevys before next year, everything I registered were all Fords. Teri at least entered her VW Woodie so the Fletcher's entered something other then all Fords.
