Went to the show for the first time this morning.  So much stuff to see and so little money to buy.

I met a few people from the site.  Sorry I didn't make dinner last night.  Had to go with family for Gino's pizza.  My son's name is Geno so he wanted to go.

I did not take a single pic today.  Had the camera, nut was looking to fast and hard to stop and snap any.  I will go back in the morning and try to take a few shots to post here.

Was there anything that really stood apart from the general stuff...?

Got back late last night from the show.. Lot more dealers than in April ,so pretty good selection of stuff, nothing extremely rare except for a Lyons 200 Cup machine that a few guys on here where drooling over, but the 1500 price tag  didn't land it in any SMC members truck/trailer.. saw some other guy wheeling it away.
Lots of the same old stuff, Some good deals to be had ,depending on what you where looking for ..
81's could be had for aroudn 1600-1800 for the most part, sliders went from 225-1200 depending on who was selling (the 1200 Guy was smoking crack) but he thought it was gold I guess..
Some nice signs where available, bougtht a NOS 16" fishtail sign, guy had a stack of 18 of them... sold them all.
I didn't go inside this time, didn't need to spend the 50 just to look around , oh well, I'm sure someone wil report on the inside..

Overall had a great time again,, I bet we had over 25 of us for Dinner on Thursday and of course, don't think anyone took a picture.. darn
but had fun, and we where (most) up early in the Parking lot at 5am and we (Eric and I) where not the first ones this time.. some dealers where already unloaded and set up by then... so it's getting earlier every year! very cool. but makes for a long day!
I have some photos I need to download and post in the Photo Gallery section later today.

Well Guys,

I forgot the camera but tried to take pictures with my phone. Only two look some what viewable. I had a great time with everyone at Dinner. We need to make that a routine thing.
