A few more photos from the LEX event
Here are some photos of my '66 Vette on the USS Lexington that I just got from Ron Randolf of the event in Sept.
I especially like the short burnout photo. Hope you enjoy too. (they ASKED me to 'light them up' for the crowd as I was leaving!)

A little burn out action going on there. 
Looks like a huge turn out and the weather looked good to.

It turned out to be a beautiful day for the event, but we had to drive thru Huricane Humberto in Biolxi to get there with the Vette on time. THAT was fun!  Glenn

Nice pics. I was wondering how the heck you see around the carbs on the hood during cruising? It's an awesome vette for sure.

Thanks.
It's not as bad as you think to see. There is a definate 'blind spot' just to the right. Turns to the right are a little more cautious then others. You peak around it to see if it's clear. Small price to pay for all that glorious torque!  Glenn

Thanks for the personal invite, Jim. You only have 12 spots open NOW!
I just paid my fee and registered for UVParty Nov. 17th 2007!!
The beast will be there, even if I have to drag it on my trailer. It currently has NO brakes (bad master cylinders) (2) that are special racing types and are taking a long time to get. That's not such a good thing with all that power pushing it forward! But my wife and I plan on having "Love Is Blue" there.
I look forward to seeing all my friends here on the ALL Florida Forum again.
I hope all will be sure and come up and remind me who you are on the forum. Glenn Smith
