K-Zoo 2007 is now history. We had a big turnout after the scare of maybe having to cancel the event!
Almost 120 cars made it, the vast majority were SHO's. As usual, we had a number of Non-SHO cars. Some were because their SHO was under repair. Some were because they no longer own a SHO, but like the events! We love it when people keep coming after they have to sell the SHO for whatever reason. Once a SHO friend, always a SHO friend as far as I and others at the convention are concerned.
Weather was about as cool as I can remember a SHO convention being. Track days in the 70's and 80's (morning to afternoon).
A shower in the morning of the car SHOw was just considered one damn big car wash!
Great roads, good food for the most part, and good people, good times.
The Mallinson clan would like to thank first of all, all the volunteers that gave their time to help run the event. SHOw Judges, tech at the Grattan event, instructors at the Grattan event, Tony Fullone as announcer at the drags! and others that just helped out when they saw a need. Thank you, thank you !
Also, thanks to everyone that came to the event. Without numbers the event can't go on, and your support is critical. These events are run pretty much as a break even event. If we get low turnout, they lose money, high turnout like this year puts money back to be used in future years. These are not and never have been a profit center.
The charity event was a success. We get some help from companies like the Tire RAck, and of course many of the SHO specialty businesses helped out like SHO Nut Performance, NESHO/Kirk Doucette, SHO Bros. Garage, NW SHO Parts and many others.
Thanks to Christopher Smith of Michigan for putting together those great drives and getting our guest speaker, how about John Clor! Informed AND funny! Great history added to our knowledge also.
Those that arrived early ate at the food hit of the week, LaCantina (Italian) in Paw Paw. I can't say enough great about this place. Worth a trip back for sure! Then we went to one of the last if not THE last double screen drive-in. Only about 12 cars made it, but they had a great time watching a first run movie...Transformers! A free bag of popcorn and a discount getting in was nice. In Southern Michigan/Northern IN? Stop in the Capri-Drive-In in Coldwater MI for a fun time.
At the SHOw we had THREE past Best of SHOw Judged cars and they fought it out for the first real Platinum Award. Paul Thomas out cleaned the other cars and got a perfect score! All three cars were driven to the event, and looked great. Scores of 198/199/200 prove that these owners take their love of SHO and SHOw serious! What a joy to have these cars and all the others at the event.
So from myself and my family, thanks for making this a great convention.
We hope to see you all, and some new faces in the great NorthWest in 2008....details soon.
