Well, it's not going to be a hard core wheelin' weekend for the Exreme crew, but a lot of fun is to be had.   Saturday morning we set up the group with a little static car stacking display.

Saturday evening after the show, Ken offered to give rides in the Piper Cub.  There were plenty of takers.  The faces tell it all.... :)    THANKS KEN!!!!

A little more playing on the ramp.  Then, someone made the comment about making it thru a weekend without any carnage...  So look what happened.  Can anyone guess who it was?

There was also a car show, with some cool vehicles on display.
This blue hard top Viper was my favorite....

The GOOD(A10 crew), the BAD(ass A10s) and the UGLY(guess)!
The A10 crew were soo GREAT!   Look how close they let us park our low tech beasts next to their birds.  All weekend these guys were extremely friendly and helpful.  For sure, the highlight of the show was meeting these guys!

They even let us take a seat in one of the A10's.
Let's see, power panel on the right, APU start on the left.  Hmm, I think I could figure this out.  Now all I need is someone to distract the crew....  ;-)
