Kissimmee Regional - many thanks.....

[Ara G.]

For those of you who were not able to attend this year's Kissimmee Regionals, I must say you missed a heck of a show. Many many many thanks go to Thom Warren, Joel Stieglitz, the Judges, the OJ's, the sponsors and vendors, etc. The weather was spectacular. It was so nice seeing friends from all over the country. Special thanks to Mitch Stamos, Jerry, Dan Young, Mike Soares and of course Nick Culkowski. My Fiance and I continually have the best time at the show. All the judges and team leaders did an amazing job. If any of you have contemplated going to the Kissimmee show, you need to come next year. Stunning cars across the board and great people and friends. Tons of hard work goes into the show, and we can't take it for granted. Happy New Year....

Re: Kissimmee Regional - many thanks.....

Ara, I agree. It was great seeing the both of you along with everyone else. My only regret is that I should have been attending this show for many years instead of just the past two.

Steve,
It was great seeing you, Keith, Chuck, and everyone else. Am glad you made it down. Good time, gorgeous weather, even nicer cars...What more can we ask for?. Free beers at the auction didn't hurt either...Hope to see you at the next regional. It's one of the best Regionals out there.

Hi Ara - Thanks for the kind words for all that work hard and do a great job. Kissimmee is one of the best regional's of the year. Maybe the weather has something to do with it!! Good seeing you again!

Stricky,
Boy you caught that "fiance" thing....Us Mass guys are pretty shaaarp....I missed seeing you too. Bill was there representing the Mass contingent...So nice seeing so many of my buds at the shows. I am going to try to make it to the May Regionals...but its a the month before the wedding so I will have to convince my better half that the regional can be our pre-wedding honeymoon...I am sure that will go over well....NOT...I may come solo though....That camera shop in Arlington should sponsor the darn Regionals...
Happy New Year Stricky...will catch up soon....ARA

I have attended the Kissimmee Old Town meet since it was Cypress Gardens back in the early 80's! The Florida Chapter always extends their hospitality to each and every NCRS member. Also, a big thanks to Tyler Townsley and his crew for putting together the largest swap meet south of Corvettes of Carlisle. Also, thanks to Ed Augustine and crew for working so hard and putting on the best NCRS Regional year after year!

I agree, it was a great weekend and the weather couldn't have been better. It was great seeing you guys again and I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the next meet. Really enjoyed OJ'ing and I have to thank Reg and Dave for letting me hang with them this past weekend. Congrats Ara on the recent engagement, milk that as long as you can...you did good.
