Someone suggested a Barn Find for a giveaway and believe me I've considered that. Anyway, the reason I picked out the Barn Find comment is because I am going to feature Barn Finds in Building Y next year. If you have, or know of, a really cool Barn Find please send them my way. I'm hoping to get some really cool/rare/interesting cars for that display. I'm also working with some of the restoration shops in hopes of having several of the 2010 Barn Finds return in 2011 fully restored
Along the same lines as Barn Finds I'm trying to create a new class of cars. I'm trying to create a class for cars that I would describe as "drivable barn finds" or cars that are too rough for the Survivors Display but are still very cool, fun to drive cars. Imagine a 340 Duster that still has most of its original paint (or an older repaint) but it's starting to show its age and maybe there's some rust here and there but overall the car is solid. Maybe is has Cragars with wide tires. I'm leaning toward calling them "Throwbacks" or maybe "Time Machines" but I'd love to hear some suggestions. I think this would be a great way to get some really cool cars out of storage and back on the road. The best part is the owner could truly enjoy the car and not sink a ton of money into a restoration.

Aw crapp... I've got Sinnamon half ripped apart and a bunch of AMD sheetmetal stashed in the basement along with parts I've been buying up.
If I could have gotten the engine unseized and put a carb, a plastic fuel cell bolted into what's left of the trunk and a few other parts on it I coulda been there ... I mean it might be in Speedo's tent in 2011 (or maybe not) anyway.
At least I could have put off a lot of work for another year
Other than that... put the bikini contest earlier so I can catch it. Leave the burnouts for after I leave Sat. night or Sunday. I really don't care for burnout contests.
Anyway I appreciate the effort that goes into making Carlisle a success. Having gone to both Carlisle and the Nats for 3 years straight... no comparison. Carlisle gets a big
