(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>This is one of few events I\u2019ve attended without any of my boys accompanying me.\u00a0 Unfortunately this is a trend that is progressing to the point I\u2019ve had to just state \u2018I\u2019m going\u2019 and if anyone wants to participate they can, but I\u2019m not going to be deterred if I end up going alone.\u00a0 I did just that a few weeks after the Rod Run and though I was not happy when I left the day turned out great.\u00a0 We get used to how things are with our kids, but they change and we\u2019ve got to cope.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have to like it though.\u00a0 How dare they grow up without permission\u2026<\/p>\n

I believe nearly every photo in this collection was taken in or near just one parking lot.\u00a0 I guarantee I took more photos from this lot and they\u2019ll be scattered throughout as I returned to our vehicle for water, batteries, etc.\u00a0 You will no doubt notice the C10 with the turbo LS swap.\u00a0 I never heard it run, but it appears to be a fun ride.\u00a0 Challenger Scat Packs are very popular in Central Kentucky and many made their way to Cynthiana including the three found here.<\/p>\n

Corvettes are really popular in Kentucky as well (duh) and in this lot alone there were these two silver C4s, two silver C3s, a red C4 (on ralleys), 2 C1s, a C2, and two more C3s (some of these are in the next gallery).\u00a0 I want to draw your attention to the satin black GMC with purple, pinstripe flames.\u00a0 The stance on this thing caught my eye from a distance and the more I looked at it the more I liked what I saw.\u00a0 As a cruiser this thing has to be awesome with a reliable LS swap, AC, and it has the killer GMC grille going for it.\u00a0 In the past I\u2019ve owned a few El Caminos and this red and white \u201968 is just the kind of clean ride I wouldn\u2019t mind having in my garage.\u00a0 Sadly\u2026there\u2019s no room and no funds and it\u2019s not allowed.\u00a0 My wife refers to them as the identity crisis of the automotive world and therefore unworthy of ownership.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about that and always thought they were a great mix of muscle car and light truck.\u00a0 Oh well.<\/p>\n

Lots more to come.\u00a0 No I didn\u2019t take a photo of all 2,000+ cars, but I tried.<\/p>\n
