(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>So here is the 2nd<\/sup>-half of the muscle car era collection of images from the Nationals.\u00a0 Nearly everything in this gallery is stuff I\u2019ve not brought you previously.\u00a0 Lots of variety in here.\u00a0 What I did not see much of at this year\u2019s event was many American Motors offerings.\u00a0 They might have been there and I missed them, but typically I\u2019ve got an eye out for them and it just didn\u2019t materialize for me this time.\u00a0 Next year perhaps.\u00a0 Two things I want to point out in here and then I\u2019ll leave you to picture gawking.<\/p>\n

I am a fan of Torinos.\u00a0 I was not disappointed this year and in one spot I was treated to several along the outer circle (which was part of the old fairgrounds race track).\u00a0 From the late 60s to the mid 70s were represented.\u00a0 Memories of my youth keep me digging these cars and I\u2019m always happy to snap a photo when they are spotted.\u00a0 Another thing is the turbo-charged Corvair we found inside the 29-and-under corral.\u00a0 NSRA has spotlighted the younger generations\u2019 up-and-coming folks with awards and features in Street Scene magazine.\u00a0 I\u2019ve admired their commitment to bringing in \u2018new blood\u2019 and the expansion of allowed vintages into the events is testament to that effort.\u00a0 If we\u2019re to keep the gearhead nation alive and healthy we need to cultivate youth and show them how great the community and hobby is.<\/p>\n

Enjoy and come back for more.<\/p>\n
