Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals
Wanted to share some exciting news from this past weekend. Took my 89 Turbo Trans Am to the MCACN event. I entered it into the day 1 Concours and did very well. TTA was awarded with gold scoring almost perfect with a 998! Also was awarded the Emerald award!! Show season is now over and time for a winter slumber.

For those who don't know and who haven't been there - MCACN is the Pebble Beach of Muscle cars - to win there is the absolute pinnacle of muscle car shows! I was told by Charley they carried $100 mil in coverage for the event and as he walked through there on Friday afternoon on the eve of the show he was worried it wasn't enough!
Congratulations Bill, well earned!

Wow! Congratulations on the invite. Very prestigious. Have read a lot about this show, including several posts from a fellow on another forum who attended. Seems like a spectacular event.

Re: Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals
It was a great time at MCACN this past weekend. Was great to meet so many TGO members that came out as well as hearing all the comments about how cool is was to see an unmolested 3rd gen in the show . . . we were the only 3rd gen Camaro . . . and I believe there was only one 3rd gen Firebird too . .
All our detailing efforts and attention to the details paid off . . acquired 995 points and brought home Gold.

We thought about stanchions etc . . but sadly the public really has no fear of by passing them, seeing where people wandered was rather shocking . . so not even sure if they would have provided any more protection . . with how small our area was I feel they would have just been in the way. But thankfully he made it through unscathed.

Re: Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals
Thanks Charlie . . . the wife and I were as nervous as cats in a room full of rocking chairs throughout the show . . . Saturday we were at the car almost full time . . it wasn't until evening where we got brave and ventured away from the car . . Sunday the traffic was lighter but really didn't venture away too often then either.

How did you do in the show? I love that show. Really fantastic! I am going to go back in 2019 and do the vintage verification.
