Default NOCC car show 2013 pics

As always, this show was so much fun ! There were 203 cars and I don't know if they could have squeezed any more in, but I am sure they would have tried.

Here are a few pics from the show. As always I have a couple of albums that are full of pictures. This year I separated them by car and people. I hope you like the pics and I hope others will join in and post some of their favorites.

OK, OK, I had to put a pic of my Malibu in here.


Some of the cars were unbelievably clean.


Notice the plate on the front of this one.

Customizing was very apparent at this show




People traveled from all over with their beautiful cars.


As always, people got very creative.

Then there were the people.

The registration table, must be Saturday cause everyone is already registered.


The Chinese raffle table where lots of goodies were given away.


Not sure what Mark is trying to do to Chuck, but Joe (at microphone) is doing a great job "Roasting" Chuck.


Since disbanding A.C.E.S., he was made a member of D.I.C.S.


The members of NOCC after roasting Chuck.

Friday it rained on and off all day. A live band was planned for outside, and due to the rain, the party had to be moved inside.









Boy, she gets around......

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. I was hoping to make it this year, but things just didn't work out on my end. Maybe next year.

A LONG drive in a 43 year old car but worth the trip. Good to visit with a lot of old friends again considering there wasn't any Nashville this year...

This was my 4th NOCC show and this was the first time that my car made it there and home on it's own power. Yes, that is right, no problems on the drive to and from the show.

But..... we arrived on Thursday afternoon and parked the car. We wanted to find out what kind of gas mileage I was getting with the EFI, considering this was the first time that there was not trans problem or break down problem. So it was decided that I would get up on Friday morning, fill her up so we could determine how much gas I used and then take her down the road about a mile and get her washed.

I was up and on the road by 7 am. Filled her up and then headed to the car wash. Looked down at my gauges and I'll be damned the temp was rising, and rising and I was getting mad. I made it to the car wash and the temp was at about 230. I figured that I would wash the car and then start her up and see what she was going to do. Took my time washing her and drying her off. Got in and started her up. And guess what, the minute I pulled out to head back to the hotel, the temp started rising again. Knowing I didn't have far to go, I turned the heat on full blast and the temp started to slowly drop. By the time I turned into the hotel parking lot it was at about 160.

I pulled into my parking spot, turned the heat off, and let it run for about 15 minutes and the temp was fine. I don't know if the thermostat was stuck, or if I had some sort of vapor lock, but she seemed fine. Then on Saturday they have everyone start their cars and rev their engines, so I did. Except we let her run and plugged in the computer for the EFI. We were thinking that maybe my car was running a little lean and that was causing the heat issue. Nope, everything was fine, the numbers looked good.

So Sunday morning we headed out at 10am. We usually make a stop or two on the way home, not this time. We straight home. No problems. It may not seem like a big deal to some, but to me this was huge ! It may have only been just under a 3 hour drive, but that is the longest that I have driven the car since having the transmission rebuilt last September.

Oh yeah, we figured out that I am probably getting about 14 1/4 miles per gallon with about 500hp and a 373 gear. I can live with that.
