I gotta tell ya guys....my wife and I ran down from Tulsa area to Dallas and attended the Late Model Resto show at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend and was thoroughly amazed at how big it was!!!! They have the cars broken up into generational categories so your not stuck in the midst of all the 15-up straight piped Coyote cars (not a fan of the obnoxious-loud exhaust every one of the owners feels the need to constantly rev up for the entire county to hear.....but thats another post)
Anyways.....we heard comments of 5000 to 6000 cars in attendance, and while theres no registration to keep an accurate count, I believe the count was easily in the thousand's range!!! The place was packed and full of nice cars and alot of friendly people. Showing up in my 86 Capri, I was one of THREE Capri's in attendance and had alot of people asking questions and taking pics, plus the " oh man, my -fill in the family member or friend name here- had one of these years ago!!" stories, it was nice to hear some fun stories!!
They even had one of the garages open and had quite the collection of 2000 Cobra R's there, along with a MINT 93 Cobra R thats never been dealer prepped and had around 100 miles on it.....2 fully restored SSP Pursuit cars- an 86 Texas Highway Patrol Car and a 92 Kansas Patrol Car- and so many Lightnings from stock to full out drag trucks!!!
I think we're planning on going again next year and would be fun to see some more FOX's there!!!
Was anyone else there? If so, speak up!!!
