Soup R Day

Saturday was Superday. The once a year event in the park with a variety of events. Mostly themed around kids and activities for them. Games, music, food, etc. Lots of vendors selling arts & crafts as well as stuff for grownups. There's a big bike race ( I didn't enter) and a car show. Which I did visit. Here's a cross-section of cars at the show.

A number of old, stock antique cars like this old Ford.

There were some Street Rod customs of old cars like this old Studebaker.

A mixture of stock and modified classics like this T-bird.

Always a collection of Corvettes.

Here's a more modern car, considerably modified. A 73 GMC Sprint converted to a 4x4. My first car was a 75 Sprint. Which was the GMC version of an El Camino. Mine was definitely not like this!

Lots of 60s-70s musclecars, like these two Mopars.

And my vote for best car in the show. A 1970 AMC AMX 390 in Big Bad Orange with Shadow Mask paint option (the black part). The AMC musclecars were always my favorites for their style, wild colors, and just because they were just a little different than the cars from the Big 3. Very nice, rare car.

But there's one more part to Superday. The free evening concert! This year - a big name!

Are you ready to rock?

I said, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Blue Oyster Cult! I saw BOC once before. In 1982. That was, ummm, twenty seven (27) years ago! Since their heyday was probably the later 70s, well, they aren't exactly the youngest band around. The show was alright, with just a hint of cowbell. I recognized about half of the songs. But they didn't have the big animated Godzilla! Folly of man indeed! Bummer.

Don't Fear The Geezers!
