So it's been a week since Shedd... I couldn't go because I work weekends and couldn't get the time off, and gathering from the rare lightening storm we had here in western WA that came out of the south on Saturday night I wonder how folks fared... but I expected at least SOME pics or comments!

I was wondering the same Greg. Did any Canadians make it down this year?

We had a great time at Shedd 2024-- though rain kept quite a few people away, I hear we had 52 roadsters attend this event!
Friday night was spectacular-- a few cars resting in the Neal's shop for the evening:
It was a lovely warm evening, with a beautiful sunset:
Saturday had a rain threat, so cars were staged in the shop before a quick fun run (for some reason my YouTube video link is not working)-- I'll try to get that fixed later.
I did get a free car wash on the way home however-- thankfully just a few miles from the house.
We had visitors from the Netherlands, Coleman Hastings from North Carolina in his 67.5 2000, and an enthusiastic crowd of Canadians too! As always, a fun, easy and entertaining event-- special thanks to the Neal's for putting this great event on every year!

Thanks Michael, that's more like it! First Pic has my friend "Damn it" Bill's wife's car (2SHOOZ) in it so I know they made it... they live relatively close. Ya, the storm lasted a few hours here but it really came in unusually strong for us and moved northeast so I imagine that many locals and Canadians would have had a very wet drive home accompanied by strong winds and lots of lightening! Honestly glad i couldn't go... no top!
