If anyone knows of another pinto that did not enter, My dads 32 did not get complete and we have a valid entry into the show.  Meet me at Carrows and we can get you in.

Hey Brian, I'd like to scoop that entry up from you. I didn't know they were transferrable, but I would/could put another Pinto in if I can.     Steve

not typically transferable.  I would give you mine to enter and I would use my dad's class 9.  Once in the gate, would folllow the rest of the pintos

Steve, I was looking all over for you. Sorry you aren't feeling well. I bought a Spearco AK Miller turbo set up and wanted to pick your brain... Here are some pics. There seemed to be less cars this year (of all types) from my observation (except Broncos)

I hope I speak for all there that a good time was had by all. The Pinto turnout was smaller than I've ever seen, and I missed the familiar faces that usually make the show! My Moxie BluBelle made it there and back without a hitch and with excellent gas mileage.  Scott, I want to thank you for donating the goodies and I want to thank all who made it for being so great! Also,  heartfelt thank yous go to those who wished us a safe and fun trip.

Here are some of my very favorite Pinto Peeps!  Alas, because I don't recall three of the people in these pix (I am notoriously lousy with names) I'm not going to caption them. I do know Alberto (the lifeblood of the Western Meets) and his awesome sister Francesca, their friend Thomas, and our new friend Steve (Back In Blue) and his lovely family (stupid me forgot to get their picture!). They brought 3 Pintos!  The gentleman in the Hawaiian shirt brought a gorgeous T-Bird, but he is also the owner of the legendary Disco Pinto! After the show, he, Alberto, Francesca and I had pizza together! I'm so glad I didn't change my mind about going! I am tuckered out but in the best way! The weather was perfect!

Looking good!

Who picked up the blue/white racer? Is that the car that was on Hemming's classified for so long for 20k? That is a real prize...

Great photos everyone! :D  I sure did miss you guy's this year. I really like making the Knott's show. It is like a vacation for me even though it is only a 2 day trip. I am hoping things go better next year.

I have come to realize that I am powerless to cuteness of a rusty old Pinto.

Here are my images (I hope I got every ones cars, I know get distracted):

Let me know if the link doesn't work right. I wanted, actually, WE all wanted to thank Scott for all the goodies that he sent to us! In fact, here is a picture we took:

We all loved the metal Ford Pinto.com license plate frames but since there were only 3, the group decided that they go to the three members that could not make it to breakfast since they were busy parking the Pinto's at the show and giving out goodie bags. A big thanks again to PushthePinto (Barth) and Pintony (Pintony) for parking the cars and getting us a great spot. Lets also extend a special thanks to RacerX (who prefers to remain nameless, he's in the KGB I suspect  ::) ) who goes to every single Ford car club council meetings to get us our special class!

It was a great show this year and I was thrilled to meet all the new folks! I miss the people that couldn't make it an lets make next year (the 10th anniversary of the West Coast meet) the biggest one yet!
