You are exactly right about the different types of people. I had so many people looking and talking to me I didnt get a chance to get more pictures and that picture was almost dark. We had muscle cars and the rich guy brought his new Ford GT (40). The street rod guys were there as well as a few old trucks. Nothing as big or original as the WF-32.
As for the racers you have hit it on the head! I refer to them as the Summit Racing team. A local bunch of guys who order as many bolt on parts from the Summit catalog and put them and the 64 stickers they send you onto an 80's GM car with no real value or worth and suddenly they are racers. The only thing worse is the Ricers! HAHA!
Its very fun to watch the Summit racing team when my friend brings his original SS Plymouth GTX 426 Hemi car up there. They dont say a word but just stand there and look. Then they find out it runs 10 second 1/4's with only a carburator and tires that fit in stock wheel wells.
