Hi Barry,
Your 66 looks so cool among all that Detroit stuff. Only third class, not
first? In the wrong class? You didn't enter it as a modified Vette, did
you?
Solvang was great, as usual. I've got pictures of most of the cars at
Solvang at this and the following two pages. I may have missed 1 or 2 cars.

Victor Laury also has pics, including some from the funrun, at
