Autumn in the Hudson Valley…
You can’t beat that…
Stay cool… π
Pat is absolutely right,it really is a great local show with both rare ‘classics’ and ‘muscle’ cars,and ‘hot-rods’ combined! The entry and grounds on the Mills Estate are beautiful,along with a picturesque view of the Hudson River,and the west bank,painted with Nature’s ‘fall’ foliage! Definately worth the trip if your in the area ‘cruising’ around this weekend,to check out this worthwhile car show!
Looks like it was a great day!
Nice turnout once again it looks like Pat.Thanks for sharing your photos.
hello there , just checked out the pictures from the valley , real nice pictures of the Biscayne , looks like great weather for the 23rd. should be a good time ,,, hi Frank and v-bob
Back from the dutch . Mother nature was not too kind to us Thursday and friday were rained out . Saturday was beautiful but very windy so we had to race eighth mile . We qualified 16th our best this year .Our best eighth mile E.T. so far this year was 4.50 at Epping and we ran 4.47 so I know if we had run quater mile it would have been a 6 second pass ! Went red in the second round but that’s ok there will be more races next year. Billy Griffin set a new eighth mile record for E altered automatic . My good friend Rick Jaimison went to the semi’s in T/D .Even with all the little problems with the weather we managed to have a great time .
Hey Billy…Call me ..I have some pics for you from Judy Casey… π Don…
