    Default NADA 2012 - A Few Numbers

    I didn't stop running long enough to take pictures but I did get this one on my phone. My wife has some that I will try to get up later in the week when I get back into town. Traveling for work after the Show is a bummer. This cake was made by Arturo Dominguez's (Silver) wife. She baked and decorated this cake for everyone at the Show to enjoy after the Banquet. Pretty amazing huh? Everything on it is edible.

    That 150ft python was a pain to coil up, ask me how I know.

    My hope is those numbers just keep rising as the years go on.

    I have to thank you once again for your hard work and ability to go throgh the stress of it all. I couldn't have done it. My hat is off to you.

    Thanks for letting us know how many in each class. It's good to see the numbers.

    The cake was beautiful.

    This just goes to show what a great club and great folks can do to raise the bar! Every NADA show just gets that much better.

    Larry and his wonderful wife, Chad, Roger, Mike and his team, and all the incredible folks in Atlanta made this happen. I cannot put into words how much hard work they have done and how well this work paid off. It simply could not have been better. They were a perfect crew of folks.

    Just think how good 2014 will be...

    16 people took Andrew Soh's class, but I was told they need to keep what they learned a secret.
