MAGIC DRAGON STREET MEET NATIONALS 2009

we traveled to lake ozark, missouri april 30th and stayed until may 3rd. this is our best car show each year so far. last year there were 720 entries in the car and my 1950 chevy truck did not place however ray took his 32 plymouth sedan and it took 1st in the all year model sedans.

ray and i along with the hagars, and the crass's had a wonderful time. also ashley, cody, cory marcy and ethan (not pictured) were also there for the weekend.

i entered my 1950 chevy truck (the peppermint express) in the modified trucks 1900-1964cody entered his escalade golf cart in the special interest class.gary entered his 1967 mustang in the street machine class 1970-1990ashley entered my california roadster golf cart also in the special interest class. bob entered his 2007 ford mustang (misty) in the street machines 1990-present

the weather that weekend was much to be desired. the forecast showed rain all weekend and that it did except for saturday which in all reality was the main day for the show. it was judgement day if you will. the rain stayed gone until the show was over but we didn't get to cruise that night cause it looked very rainy. we did how ever do the friday night cruise which we had never done before and we will probably not do again. once was enough for that cause it wasn't what all we thought it would be. however we can now say that we cruised the bagnell dam. we decided for the last night there to just set up a little camp outside the hotel and order pizza and have our own little car show and believe it or not there were alot of people with the same idea. we enjoyed the night laughing and talking with friends.
sunday was the award ceremony and yes it was raining off and on but we set up camp crass (a blue tent) and before long headed down to the stage to get a good seat. the out come was good. they gave out awards for top 2 in each class.

bob won 1st in his class 1990-present street machines

ashley won runner up in the special interest class (which cody claimed the award cause she didn't want to walk up there are get it plus he did all the cleaning on it cause she isn't good at that cleaning stuff)

i tied for 1st place (which is good with me since lat year i didn't place at all) with the ford f-100 pictured below.

gary did not place this year but they still had a wonderful time. here we are proud of the awards we received and we also found out there were 854 entries this year that attended not including the entries that didn't show up due to the weather. this was a record year for the magic dragon street meet nationals in lake ozark, missouri. i am so glad we attended despite the weather and hopefully they will break another record next year.
