    Doug, you are quite a suspicious character. Can you really blame them? :rolleyes:

    While some could not stay for the Saturday show, 44 Maverick/Comets was the number of cars that I had heard were at the Round-Up at one time or another. There were several members that came by plane or other car/truck too.

    :thumbs2:

    That's freakin awesome! Just imagine what it could be like if both organizations could get together and meet at the same time in the same location! Could easily be 75 or more cars the way this is growing! Oh well, I guess I better leave that alone. Wish I coulda been there guys!

    You just can't please everyone. Everyone that was there, had a good time, that's all that matters.

    Yes....44 cars there throughout the week. Got pictures of all of them at one point or another. Plus.....probably the most members we have ever had without their cars. At least (3) members/families that I know of had flown in.

    I know the count would have been higher if it hadn't rained for about an hour and a half that moring...plus the HEAT!!!

    Truly AWESOME event!!!
