Re: Joplin Misc Pics

Noticed two things: Now that's a real licence plate light on that silver 396 .

Is that white '63 F.I. a tanker ?

Re: Joplin Misc Pics

Camera flash on reflective plate and ZO6 tanker. There's some right nice cars out at this meet.

Re: Joplin Misc Pics

Thanx for taking the great pics! I see Don Ghareeb's 67 Red/Red 400 AC coupe. A fantastic car, as I'm sure the others are.

We are missing you Bus Driver. We need a birthday party.
No 1968-1972s for flight judging though.

Re: Joplin Misc Pics

Anyone here know the story of the '57 FI racer?

Wow, none at a regional? That will certainly help to condense a regional meet.... Were you able to find a 68-72 example to use for your Advanced Judging session?

Re: Joplin Misc Pics

Kevin,
Only one (a 1969 for display) here. I will use it today. The owner was judging yesterday. There was supposed to be a 1970 LT1 for Flight Judging, but it was a last minute no show. Stan was already in the air when he cancelled, so Stan flew here for nothing, not to mention the rest of the Flight Judging team. There is a 1973 and a 1977 here, so there are some C3s for me to use for the AJS. The usual lots of nice mid-years and some nice C1s also. I would say we are making up in quality what is lacking in quantity. All in all not too bad considering the last Regional was two weeks ago.

Re: Joplin Misc Pics

Jerry: Thanks a lot for posting those photographs from Joplin. We all enjoyed them here in the Lone Star State.

Re: Joplin Misc Pics

You're all welcome...I took them for my own enjoyment but glad to share them.

I'm not quite the photographer that Rich M. is....Hard to believe that all of the cars don't get Top Flight.

After I got back home...I wanted to go back for closer looks.
