Across from them was Jim in his '67 GTO, Mark with his '54 Nash and Mike in his '65 GTO. Gary & Kathy's Fairlane was by the gate and Kathy would drop the gate for us so that we could cross over Florida Plaza to our parking spot. Graham, G4HFG from Oldham, England came in over the radio as I was backing in. He will actually be on "Trophy Row" next week, for a short  stay in Florida. It was cool out, Linda chose a few "puddles" of Sunlight to stay warm. Before we headed up on our first trip to the top of "Trophy Row" we would visit with Joe and Stan the "Pacer Man". I would encounter James in his  "Firebird". Bruce and Sandy had the split window Corvette by the shop. Many of the "Redline Rodders" were in their usual spots.

Darrell has his LTD just North of the stage. Gary would have his '36 Ford in it's regular spot next to Bob's '70 Chevy pickup. All of the 3 Amigos were in place. Emil, KJ4GNH, was in the spot he likes to call his own with his '48 Ford. On the way back down to the car Bob & Marge would back their '65 Rambler Ambassador convertible into his spot. Bob would bring his '68 SS396 Chevelle and park next to us. Nick & Fran would follow in the '32 Ford 5 Window Coupe. Mark would bring his "Blown to Be Wild" '63 Falcon and take the spot next to the coupe. It was time, you guessed it, dinner at "Flippers", on the way up John would have his '57 Chevy to the South of the stage. Jane would take great care of us as usual, John & Rich came to the patio as did many other "Regulars". More cars would make their way in to town. Including Louie in his '50 Ford.

He had been taking pictures at Joe & Penny's wedding earlier today. Roger F would have his '56 Chevy out. Once again it was a night of old friends and new ones. The cars the music and the people. This is what keeps us coming back.
