MCACN II Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals In The Works!
It is hard to believe that several months have passed since the inaugural Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals! The show was a HUGE success and we are pumped about the 2010 event.
With that being said, we are off and running making plans for the 2010 edition of the MCACN show, which will take place November 20-21, 2010, and I want to start getting the word out.
We need your help in spreading the word, as the show is very expensive to produce, and we need lots of spectators to make it work. We feel we have set the standard with a show that offers a great (and safe) location, excellent access, protection from the elements and much more. We are dedicated to what we all love, that being Muscle Cars, Corvettes, dealer-built Supercars and all things related to them. We feel we are unique in this aspect and will remain true to this theme, even more now then ever.
We have a fantastic Judging team, with many of the country's most respected experts in their fields for the various makes and models coming in from various states to be a part of our team. Our Judging Supervisor is Bill Braun, long time NCRS Chapter Chairman for the state of Illinois and many of our judges have been involved in numerous national events for years. Credibilty of our judging is of utmost importance to our team, and we take this VERY seriously.
Here are some of the special displays we have in the works;
Triple Diamond Corvette display and competition, sponsored by Corvette Central. For the country's best restored and original Corvettes that have already achieved NCRS Top Flight and Bloomington Gold certification. We had close to 40 entrants in 2009 for this portion of the show, ranging from 1954 to 1988, including several L88's, C3 ZR1's and a ZR2 and truly, the best of the best with 98% of the entrants earning their Triple Diamond award. I am sure this area will grow for 2010, as the response has been tremendous.
1970 Invitational Display; as we all know, '70 was a pinnacle year for the Muscle Car. We are looking for the "Top Dogs" from each manufacturer. My wish-list includes; a Hemi Superbird, LS6 Chevelle, Rebel Machine, Ram Air IV GTO or Firebird, an outstanding Challenger or Charger R/T, a CJ Cougar or Cyclone, an R-Code Ford, a Buick GSX and several others. If you own an outstanding example of one of these cars, or have a possible candidate, please let me know.
Shelby Snakepit II: With the incredible response we receieved with our first Shelby Snakepit display, we have decided to again host a gathering of Mr. Shelby's finest creations.
Motion Madness; Marty Schorr suggested we top what was done several years ago in Chicago, and with his assistance and encouragement, I believe we can do it. If you own or know of any REAL Baldwin-Motions cars, please help us make some history. We have confirmed several Baldwin-Motion Corvettes for this display, including several fresh restorations that will make their national debut at the show. More on this to follow! (we have NINE real-deal B-M cars already confirmed).
Buick Stage 2 Special Display; we have confirmed this one! This special display will feature not just one, but TWO authentic, documented factory Buick Stage 2 cars along with a collection of related Stage 2 parts and memorabilia. These are the ONLY factory authorized Stage 2 cars ever built, and seeing them up close will indeed be a rare treat. This is a collection that may never again be shown under one roof. Many of you may have read the article featuring the stories of these cars and their development in a recent issue of Muscle Car Review.
Hemi Challenger display; many of you saw the amazing "El Hemi" Challenger which was shown by the Escalante family at our inuagural show. Well...the only thing better would be to have the El Hemi sitting beside yet another amazing Hemi Challenger; that would be the N94 that is currently under restoration and owned by one of the sYc's favorite members!
This is just the beginning of what we feel will again set the standard. As always, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to get a hold of me any time. bashton426@gmail.com or call (586) 549-5291.
Lots happening for the Corvette enthusiast for 2010.
Our Triple Diamond display and competition, sponsored by Corvette Central, now has over 30 entries that range from 1953-2003 coming in from nine differant states.
Bill Stasek Chevrolet, our Presenting Sponsor, is planning an expanded display, which will include more Corvettes including some Callaways and a wide selection of GM licensed wearables.
Mid America Motorworks will also have a nice big display!
