Well, I am on my way to Arizona, stopped for the night in Forest City, Arkansas. The front desk calls and says I need to move my truck/trailer. I go down stairs and another guest is needing to get his truck/trailer out so he can leave early. Of course I notice the Year One sticker, mothers polish sticker, etc. and strike up a conversation with the guy. Turns out he is headed to Knoxville,Tn for the Chilhowee Park show this weekend. (:banghead: Guess I will miss that one)
Attached is a picture of the car he is taking to the show. Turns out he builds the cars for Mother's. You can look at all the info about it on their site.
Anyway, after 30 minutes of car talk in the Lobby I am really pumped and thought I would share at what a small world this is. He said he is buds with Johnny at Hotchkis and has attended track days there. I invited him here, so maybe he will pop in when he returns home.

BTW This is his personal car and is on the current issue of one of the magazines. Super Chevy I think he said.

That would be him, he told me he took the vista cruiser to the last Hotchkis track day-LOL. Saw him again this morning and expect him to check in here next week :cool:

He also isn't afraid to drive that elky like he stole it. He did a sweet burnout during the Power Tour at one of the stops. Nice elky!!
