He took lots of pictures and is willing to do a presentation on it in the future. The quality of cars was unbelievable. It was held at the College of Central Florida campus. It was an amazing experience. It was then announced that John Schanbacher, Jack Hanbury, and Bill O Rourke were judges at the national show.
