Post by: Jon Mello on August 19, 2015, 01:22:09 PM: Steve, I had my Camaro there this year and had a fun time but did not get a lot of photos. I'll try and post what I have later in the week but I'm sure the HTA website will be posting photos soon. The weather was hot for the five days I was there.

They had a nice feature segment on my Camaro. For any of you who missed it and want to see it, I heard they will replay it next Thursday at 11 pm; Saturday, Oct 3 @ 10 am and Thursday the 8th at 10 am. All times indicated are Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

Car looks fantastic Jon. Great Job!!! They must be re-playing this show on Fox Sports 2 because I just checked the guide for Fox Sports 1 and it isn't scheduled for any of the times you mentioned. Unfortunately I and many others don't get Fox Sports 2 so I won't be able to see it until it appears on Youtube or is re-played on Fox Sports 1 later in the year. Has anyone approached you for a magazine feature on the car, perhaps Vintage Motorsport, Muscle Car Review or Hemming's Muscle Machines? I would love to see an in depth article on such an important car. Congrats!

Post by: Jon Mello on September 30, 2015, 03:15:04 AM: Thanks, guys. I'll have to see if I can find out specifically which Fox station it is on. I have not personally seen it. I was at a swap meet last Saturday but a friend's wife said she recorded it.

I heard there were some magazines that were interested in doing a story but, so far, I haven't heard from any. It is supposed to be coming out in a book maybe in the next few months.
