Daytona Turkey Run PICS

[Flrider]

Finally got around to posting some pics of Saturday's event.

It was an awesome day, beautiful weather and a sea of cars.
I could not see them all, I think we walked through half or a little over half of the whole thing.

Left home at 6:30am, 46 degrees and a lot of layers, including my pirate chaps  
I was going to do a selfie but I know better than to post pics here  

Met up with a couple of friends along the way and had breakfast before getting to the madness.

Got to the speedway at 9:15 and found the motorcycle parking right by one of the main entrances, that was great  


As you can see, there was not too many motorcycles when we first got there.



My Phat Lady in the middle of two friends good looking Harleys.


First car that caught my eye  


And I absolutely love this Chevelle






Scooby Doo Van
1964 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier Deluxe Sport Package.
Owned by John and Gail Policela and future van of daughter Alyssa.
Was talking to the mom for a little bit and she was saying that they have always taken her daughter to this shows, ever since she was born.
Alyssa loves to come to this shows and she enjoys staying inside the van talking to everyone that comes around, explaining to them that she is in a countdown for her 18th birthday, when she will be the owner of the van, she is now 9 years old.










Dodge SRT, V-10 with Blower AND a couple of Nitrus bottles behind the seat  








And by the time we left, there was a few more motorcycles in the parking lot  


It was an awesome day, look forward to next year.

Love that early 50's bright red cabover pickup. Would fit in my driveway real nice....wonder if Rita would notice it?!?     And that black Merc, not sure what year('49 or '50) since the front has been changed with the DeSoto grill but sure brought back some memories. Had a baby blue '50 4-door back in the mid-50's, one of the few cars I wish I still had.

Hey Jack I'm with John on the cab over. Those have always caught my eye even though they don't appeal to everyone. That's a loooong wheel base rat rod too.
Thanks for posting the pics.

Jeff and I were there too. Pretty early but it was chilly so i talked Jeff into taking the truck. I watched for you.....But we started over by the swapmeet area and saw it all. Hardly got to the car show area

Nice pictures Jack, thanks for sharing. Lots of rides I would love to call "MINE"! Why would any one blow and gas a Dodge pick-up? To each his own I guess.  ???

John and Jeff.

That cabover would definitely have to be parked in the driveway cause there is no way it would fit in the garage  

Jo K,
I was watching for you guys also but missed you guys.
You are right, it was chilly in the morning, I happen to like it that way  

Jeff Parker
I know what you mean on the Dodge truck but when you go to a place like this, there are a lot of what I call "WHY NOT" vehicles.
People come up with some weird and unique ideas, some very creative and some that make you scratch your head  ???

    :cooldude:Wow great pic's Jack, I wish I could have walked around that place. I got a delivery today and will open it up this weekend.  Thanks for getting it out to me.
