At the SEMA Show this year we were talking to our friends Larry and Debbie Weiner of Performance West Group, telling them that we were planning on adding more Muscle Car "content" to our publication and Larry said ..... 'Hey... There's a Great New Muscle Car show coming up in a few weeks that you should go to."  He told us that this would be the first year for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago but that they had a terrific lineup of cars planned and that we should

really try to go.  Although the exhibitor space was all taken, Larry pulled a few strings to get us in and off we went !

   We were totally AMAZED at the fantastic job Bob Ashton did in setting up this show. It was sponsored by Nickey Chicago and the format was a "shootout" of sorts between Nickey Chicago and Mr. Norms Garage.  Nickey being the Chevy Super Car AllStar and Mr. Norms Garage being the King of Mopars !  Well.....they both had great cars on display... it was very cool.  In addition there were amazing Muscle Cars from all over the country drawn to the event....about 500 cars on display and each one was better than the one before it. We were very impressed with the show and we know this will go on to become a "Must Visit" event for Muscle Car Enthusiasts ....Take a look at what you missed if you didn't make it to the show !

Probably the highlight of the show was that we got to meet Dave and Joyce Emery for the first time. We have “known” them for many many years as Dave’s Ridler award winning car “REVOLVER” was HotRodHotLine’s FIRST Featured Ad !
