I really enjoy this show put on by Yesterdays Chevelle and El Camino club in Washington. Four years ago I won a second place trophy for 70 Chevelles. Last year I won 1st place for 70 Chevelles, Mayors Choice, and Best Paint. Those awards put me in the Winners Row this year against all of last years top 15 cars. I wasn't expecting it, but I won Best of Winners Row. This is as close to Best of Show you can get. Typically this show bring out 120 - 150 chevelles and el caminos. Most are show quality, some never leave the house unless it's for a show and are immaculate.
The trip started out with great weather for the drive up Saturday morning. Sunday started out dry, but by 3:00 when the awards were being announced it started pouring rain. The drive home was extremely wet, and the rain didn't stop until we crossed back into Oregon. I guess a good cleaning is due again for the Chevelle, but it was worth it. Unfortunately I was too busy looking at all the cars and visiting with people from Washington, and didn't take any pictures. Oh well there will be next year.
I remembered I had taken these pics at a rest area on the way up to Auburn. The blue 72 El Camino belongs to my friend Sonny. It has a "Ram Jet" 502 cubic inch motor, 507 Horsepower, 568 Ftlbs of Torque. Driving it in the rain is like running on ice skates there is so much power.
