I'm leaving early Wed AM...flying to Newburgh, NY...picking up my newly purchased '66 300 Deluxe project around noon...driving it (6 hrs-373 mi) to Buffalo where my truck has been stored since the CanAm show...picking up a Uhaul dolly Thurs AM and towing the Chevelle to Cleveland (3 1/2 hrs-215 mi).
Should arrive @ the HI in Strongsville late afternoon.
My wife will fly into Cleveland either Thurs evening or first thing Fri AM.
Then we're heading back home to GA Sunday AM (11 hrs-682 mi) dragging the Chevelle behind.

Whew...tired already.:)

Have safe travels everyone - This is the last video before the show. Avoid downtown Cleveland if you can!!

I am tired just thinking about your drive. But you can do it. Can't wait to see everyone.

Safe travels all .......

Avoid downtown Cleveland, why. Construction ?

Any suggestions for those that need to travel thru there ?

From the West - You dont need to worry about Downtown because you are probably on the Turnpike with an exit very close to the Holiday Inn.

From the South
Avoid driving through downtown via I70/I71/315. This is a total cluster.

Avoid the West side around I70/270. Now...if you time it right, not during normal drive times, I70/270 coming from Dayton isn't too bad. The construction is mostly on 270 right at I70/270 and extends North a couple of miles. It clears up after that.

Those coming from the South, Cincy area want to go East on 270 at I71. This is a longer route but shorter in long run. There is some construction just started the past couple of weeks on 270 near I70. Four lanes narrow to two but it's not too bad. Just depends the time you pass through. Avoid morning drive times and 3 pm to 7 pm. Do not plan on driving I71 through town and do not take 270 around the West side.

From the East - Take 90 to I271 South to I480W to 71S to avoid Downtown. There is construction on the bridges downtown, You might be OK if you are coming through during the middle of the day or late at night but avoid rush hour times.

Just got home from the best ACES Regional Show ever ,we had a good time as usual .You all should have been there ,especially at the awards banquet ,those guys and gals are something else ,very entertaining to say the least .

It was a blast again. Hot and humid, but a lot of fun. I was so happy to see so many friends. John and Joan were wonderful to my kids, Friday night they let them ride in the convertible with them in the parade thru the park. John and Joan also took all our money on Saturday when they were selling the 50/50 tickets. The winner of the 50/50 won over $500. Actually she didn't take home all that money because she gave the NOCC 1/2 the money for the toys for tots. That was so cool.

Then at the awards banquet alot of people were dressed in their "Hippie" garb. Chuck Hanson was looking pretty cool.....

I think that flash and the Mrs. won one of the best awards of the night. Now I am going to butcher this, they won "The Chevelle they would most like to go to the Ice Cream Parlor in". So appropriate for these two very special people, who have hearts so big.....Love you guys.

For me, the biggest surprise was hearing my name, and seeing my car was chosen in the top 40 cars. What an honor to be in that group. I am still in awe. What a great weekend.

Ms Grumpy ,we enjoyed giving the kids a ride through the park and we love you guys too .Its a shame we live so far apart and cant get together more often .We enjoyed hanging out with you at the awards banquet and taking your money during the show for Toys For Tots .And thankyou for this wonderful home we have here on the net to hang out ,your the best.

Got home around 7pm last night...a long 13.5 hr trip !!
Hit HEAVY rain in south KY yesterday afternoon...they actually shut down I-75 for about 30-40 min until the storm passed. Just as well...couldn't see to drive. Extreme lightning and black as midnight.

Good time had by all. NOCC pulled off another excellent show. The bar has been set for next year.

Ms Grumpy

Thank you so much for sponsoring the show! I know we might get out of hand a bit but we try hard to make it a Family Event. We raised $1000 on a spur of the moment fund raising activity for Breast Cancer. Enough said....

Here are a few of the video's I posted during and after the Show - Thanks again!!!
