It was time to take our first stroll up "Trophy Row" to see who else was in town. Emil would hold down the fort. There were several cars that had not been out in a while but by the time we made it to Block 2 many of the regulars were in place. Butch would have his '64 Comet in the "Looney Bin". Larry would be in his '47 Chevy,  James had his  "Firebird" parked in block 2. Many of the "Redline Rodders" were in their usual spots. Don & Jackie had their Mustang convertible, Karen and the Kids would be behind the stairs.  Tony & Marianne were in front of them, their SS454 Monte Carlo was across from them by Russ' Chevelle. Darrell has his LTD North of the stage. Mike would drive by us in his FAAAST 'Vette to take his spot in Block 1 the other Amigos would arrive a little later. Morris would be just North of them in "My 2nd 50". Bill would be back in his '53 Ford pickup, in the first spot at the top of Block 1. he had been doing Grandpa duties the last few weeks. As we made our way back Pablo & Nilda would take the spot North of the stage with their VW. John would be on the East side of Block 2 with his '57 Chevy 210, Ray would join him later in his '32 Ford.

After we made our way back down to the car we would visit with all that arrived in Block 4. Mark would park his "Blown to Be Wild" '63 Falcon across from us and it was time to head out to "Flippers" for dinner so it was back up "Trophy Row" again, this time Emil would come along with us. When we reached the top of Block 3 Dave D would arrive in his "Mint Julep" '57 Chevy convertible. Linda would stop to chat with Butch who was in the "Looney Bin" with his  '64 Comet, Bob & Marge would have their '65 Rambler Ambassador convertible in his spot. We would find Charlie  near the top of Block 1 and he would join us in side for dinning tonight.  We even surprised Jane who would take care of us in her usual fashion. There wasn't anyone dinning alfresco tonight, it was a little chilly out side. Even John, Ray & Rich came in doors. The cars kept rolling into "Town" when we were there. "Red Racer" Ted, KE4TTE would join us, even  Bill & Doris would dine in.

On our walk back to Block 4 the top 2 Blocks were near capacity and the cars kept a coming. John B would have his '66 Vette in Block 3. Don & Tara would bring out A Camaro and a Chevy II I think, it is hard to figure out what cars are theirs sometimes. Gary & Wanda would be out in their '55 Chevy Tony & Donna would be out in their Mustang, Doug & Trish would be in the Bronco. Tom & Chris would have the Corvette nearby. The rest of the night flew by with all of the people that stopped by to see who was parked in our spot and to check out the new car. Jim C that was out in his Challenger had to welcome me on becoming one of the "Dodge Boys".
