Home again

We got home yesterday about 3 PM. It was a good trip, almost 2200 miles and only a couple of hiccups. Not bad for a brand new car with only 200 miles on it when we left.
Sorry about no posts for few days, I could not get the laptop to connect after Wednesday. Not sure what the deal is, it works fine here at home.

The show was outstanding, 7000 cars, a nice indoor swap meet, large vendor building with AC and a ton of outdoor vendors. The car quality is outstanding. Pros pick area had so many beautiful cars.
This show runs autocross for 3 days, they really pound the cars around the course. The muscle car of the year is crowned here and they have to run the course, some go all out.
A new 3W by master builder Dave Lane won the street rod of the year, a beautiful car. Mustard yellow, it beat out several nice cars including the Dale Boesch built
5W that was at Des Moines, I would hate to choose between the two.
We won the "You Gotta Drive 'em" award...that was a way cool honor!! To drive thru the awards building at the Nats is a great time. We did it a couple of years ago with the Buick too, always nice.
The Ridler winning 56 Ford was there, the 59 Imperial Speedster was really neat to see in person, check this months Hot Rod mag for details, just so many knock out cars.
I was invited to tour the Richard Munz collection in Madison at noon on Monday, just could not get there by then without some real early starts and long days....darn!! That would be a real neat tour, maybe next time. He has many beautiful cars.

Today I cleaned the 3W inside and out, top and bottom, looks better now. I put a spacer under the carb so it will start when hot easier, adjusted the turn signals (had them hooked up backwards in the front!! LOL ). Replaced the coil wire with a red one, used a gray one for the roadside fix.
Tomorrow it is "get the Buick ready time" She is going to Salina,KS in a week or so. "KKOA Lead sled Spectacular"..... needs a oil change, repack the bearings, grease the joints, move the AC vents, and clean it real good.
