This one was postponed twice because of weather. Up here in Canada it is getting pretty late - last kick at the can so to speak. It was a smaller show today, no doubt because of the lateness in the year. At my house we had the first frost this fall so it's getting cold.

I didn't take a lot of photos but here are a few. Obviously not all B bodies, but I took photos of what caught my fancy.

This was a really terrific '37 Plymouth with a 392 Hemi. Beautiful car.

2 Sport Fury GTs. You don't see this very often. The one is Dave Wheeler's well known 440-6bbl car (original 6 bbl car).

I've known all these guys for 40 years. When I met Len he owned a '66 Coronet 4 door factory hemi car. Here is that car in 1980 (the photos were take at the NHOA meet in Sauble Beach, ON Canada - you can see a corner of my Superbird at right of the front shot, and I am in the white t shirt to the right of the Superbird) . Sorry about the photo quality. I bought a Hemi Satellite from John in 1981 (in the last photo that Satellite is second from the right, with the mailbox hood scoop). And Stan and I, along with a couple others raced cars and bought and sold parts back in the day. I had not seen Len since some time in the 1980s.

Sorry I missed it. Did you get any more pictures of the Charger with the fancy paint job? Is that the Hemi car?

I wasn't exhaustively photographing the cars there, so no I have no other photos. I don't know what engine was in the Charger.

That is my friend, Richard's, car. Yes it is a real Hemi car. I posted some pictures last week on a 1966-1967 b-body thread. Both Richard and I only live a few miles from the Sparta Drag strip and attend most shows there.
 
A couple of buddies and I were there.
It was a great show.
I took a picture of the Hemi in one of the Nostalgia Hemi cars that ran.

I had no idea that there was a drag strip on St. Thomas or that there were that many Mopars on the island. Cool beans.

I think your a little confused,St Thomas is just south west of London Ontario and draws large crowds for these event when weather cooperates,
 
Snow doesn't cause anywhere near the same damage !!
 
Here are more pictures of Western Ontario Mopar Owners show from St. Thomas Raceway.

One of the racers had this setup. It's likely worth more than my house.
