Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals
The Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals event took place on
November 17-18, 2012. It was once again held at the Donald
Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The last 2 years I
have been attending this show as a spectator. This year I was
fortunate enough to be able to attend as an exhibitor. I loaded up my
freshly restored ‘70 convertible, headed north to pick up my traveling
partner, Albert then headed Westbound and down on Interstate 80 for
the next 800 miles.

After a brief stop in Indiana for the night, we continued on to
Chicagoland Friday morning. The way MCACN is setup, each exhibitor
is given a move in time according to placement on the floor. Our move
in time was later in the afternoon so needless to say there was some
time to kill in the morning and early afternoon. I took this opportunity to
cross something off my “to-do” list, cross off the state of Wisconsin from
my “States I’ve visited” list. While there, we stopped for lunch at a local
Cracker Barrel in Kenosha.
After lunch it was time to head back into Chicago and get the
convertible situated on the floor. You have the option of taking the trailer
into the convention center or unload and drive the car in. I chose to
drive the car in as it is much easier. Once we had the car in place on the
show floor, a quick detailing was done to make sure it was clean for
public viewing as well as the judges.

President’s Report
If you missed the Christmas Party at Fred & Evelyn Gillis'
house … you missed a GOOD one! Sure is a good thing
they added on to their house, because it was pretty much
filled with 45 club members and their families. Special props
go out to Ev and Cathy Fig for planning and preparing the
food. Everything was DELICIOUS and there was more than
enough to go around. If you went home hungry from this
feast… it was your own fault! The “right” family Christmas
game has become a MCC Christmas party tradition and was
as much fun as ever. Of course Santa paid his yearly visit
with presents. I changed a few “rules” for the “steal the
package” game which went over very well. I will most likely
make a few more tweaks for next year!
If you have not heard, Chuck Hanson has made a very
difficult decision…it is time for ACES to close its doors (as of
December 31, 2012). Unbenounced to many, Chuck has
been operating ACES at a financial loss for the past 3 years,
dipping into his personal funds to keep it going. Chuck has
been a longtime friend and supporter of the MCC and I/we
will support Chuck in his decision.
You can rest assured this was not an easy decision for
Chuck to make and with these changing times, hopefully a
position we will not be put in for a LONG time. Chuck
stepped up when the NCOA announced they would no
longer exist and he had a great run for 17 years. Gosh, has
it really been that long? Who knows, maybe someone will
step up and pick up where he left off. Speaking from
experience, it is not an easy undertaking to perform.
Chuck's love for Chevelles' is in his blood and he will
continue to support our show as time and funds allow. I had
a long conversation with Chuck before he publically
announced the closing of ACES (really I don't think we've
ever had a short one), and my/our door will always be open
to him and LaRae. Thanks Chuck!
Till the next time…. Be safe and happy cruisin!

rescue shelter/hospital. This was their first car show to raise money for
the animals. They take in all animals from dogs & cats to birds reptiles
and small farm animals. The only way they survive is thru donations. This
is a husband and wife team that own Luna house and everyone who
works there is all volunteers. No paid personal. Luna house takes in any
animal and they try to adopt them into good homes.

MCC Angel Tree
Another year has come and gone … and what a year! It's a crazy
world we live in these days, but rather than be the pessimist, we need
to look outside of the box… and become the optimist. While we can't
save the world, we can do our part to make things a little better and
help brighten someone's day. This year in the Southern Area, I wasn't
sure who we would help. I contacted a couple of local churches, who
said they would get back to me. After a couple of weeks, I had not
heard back from anyone…and then it hit me. I had recently
donated/installed a computer system at the local Woman's Shelter in
Calvert County. The woman's shelter is a safe place where women
(and their children) can go when trying to get out of an abusive
relationship. Some get out… some go back.
I contacted the manager of the facility and asked if she knew
anyone who needed a little help this year… unfortunately … OR
fortunately, depending how you look at it… there were a few. For
those that are lucky enough to get out of the relationship, the shelter
helps them by getting them into housing, counseling and even
employment. The shelter continues to monitor these families and
provide additional assistance when needed. I explained to her the
MCC Angel Tree program and expressed that we (the MCC) would like
to sponsor two of the families for Christmas. I won't go into the details
of the family situations; it would just break your heart. Instead, I will
tell you a little bit about them.
Family one consists of a Mom, two little guys, who are 5 and 7
years old. Family 2 consists of a Mom, a 9 year old girl and her
brother, who is 11. All are now in their own places, moms are working
and on their way to a better life.
I asked the Moms to provide me a list of what the children “needed”
and what they “wanted”. I like to do a mixture of both. I purchased
shirts, pants, underclothing, socks and other “necessities”. Thankfully,
the budget allowed me to also purchase a few of the things they
wanted… such as toy trucks, DVD's, games and more. This
Christmas, 4 more children will wake up to open presents, just like
many of their friends thanks to the MCC.
As a member of the MCC, even though you may not feel you have
helped directly… you played a part. Your dues, participation in our
events and donations allow us to continue to help those around us in
need. On behalf of these families and the MCC, I thank you for your
continued support!

th
7 Annual Carolina Chevelle Show
The Carolina Chevelle Association (
www.carolinachevelle.com ) held their “7th Annual
Carolina Chevelle Show” on September 29, 2012 at
Hendrick Motorsports complex in Charlotte, North
Carolina. Several Maryland Chevelle Club members
attended including Tom Rightler, J. J. Figuration,
Dottie and Terry Bolyard, Fred and Evelyn Gillis, Mark
and Andrea Waters, and Dave Krespan. The event
started off with a cook-out at the host hotel, Comfort
Suites and included free ice cream donated by Don
Buckalew.
On Saturday there was a threat of rain but nearly
90 cars braved the weather and attended a fantastic
show. The show was held in front of the two HMS
Race Shop buildings and shops. A tour of the inside
of these buildings showed the many trophies won over
the years and well as displayed several of the race
cars driven by their drivers; Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kasey
Kahne and Jeff Gordon. Also on the premises was
the Hendrick Nascar Museum as well and Rick
Hendrick's private car collection. Unfortunately no
one was allowed to visit the private collections BUT
some lucky people were allowed admittance when
Rick Henrdick allowed the Carolina Chevelle
Association to sell, at auction, two tickets to tour the
collection with a friend and donated all the proceeds
to a local charity. The charities that the Carolina
Chevelle Association has supported for the past 5
years are Give2TheTroops ( www.give2thetroops.org )
and Club Horizon ( www.clubhorizon.org ). Boy
Scout Troop 900 provided the tasty food, drink and deserts to all the show attendees. My favorite was the
Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich!
Winners at this show included Dottie and Terry
Bolyard for their 1964 Stock Chevelle, Dave Krespan
for his 1964 Stock Chevelle, Fred and Evelyn Gillis for
their 1966 Stock Chevelle, Tom Rightler for his 1970
Stock Chevelle convertible, and Mark and Andrea
Waters for their 1972 Modified Chevelle. The
Hendrick Motorsports Pick Award went to Don Crowe
for his 1970 Stock SS 396 convertible. People's
Choice Award went to Brent Casteel and his son Evan
for a 1964 SS Custom.

Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals
Once everything was finished up with the car at the convention
center, it was time to head over to the hotel to check in to clean up
and get ready for dinner. One tradition a group of us that attend the
show has is to head over to Giordano’s for some of Chicago’s
famous stuffed pizza on Friday night.
The exhibitors were allowed in an hour early before the show
was opened to the general public. I took that time to give the car a
final wipe down and get it set up into show stance. It wasn’t long
before the aisles started filling with spectators. It was noticeably
more busy this year than in the past.
Since the MCACN always likes to keep a fresh show each year, there are no repeats from the previous
year as far as cars on display. They come up with new ideas for special displays each year as well. This
year they raised the bar even more with over 60 Yenko Chevrolets, 20+ winged & aero cars, 6 1969 Trans
Am Convertibles, the 1972 W code Chevelle display, Shelby Snakepit, Classes of 62 & 72 and many more!
There has never been a more rare collection of cars under one roof!
There is no shortage of vendors either. Whether it’s
parts or supplies to finish that restoration you are
working on or a little piece of automobilia for your
collection, you will find it at MCACN. Another cool
feature of MCACN are the celebrity guests. This year,
Linda Vaughn, Miss Hurst Shifter was on hand signing
autographs with the unveiling of the 1969 Hurts/Olds
Convertible. Lynn Yenko, daughter of Don Yenko was
also in attendance in the “Meet the Mean Ones” display
with a collection of vintage Yenko memorabilia.
MCACN has everything to fill a car guy’s needs.
Whether it’s a return trip or your first time attending,
1968 Yenko Camaro restored by Muscle Car
there is always something new and unique as soon as
Restoration & Design
you walk through the door. Over the weekend, the
words “Best muscle car show in the world”, were heard many times over. This event is a must attend for
every muscle car nut. Planning for next year’s event is already underway and will feature the Class of ‘73 &
‘63. Be sure to mark the date November 23-24, 2013 for Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals V.

2012 MCC Christmas Party
As the club continues to grow, so does one of our
most popular events... the MCC Christmas Party.
Members were encouraged to bring along the family
and many did just that. With a whopping total of
around 60 attendees, this was one of the biggest
parties in the history of the club.
Again this year, Fred and Evelyn Gillis, aka “Mr. &
Mrs. Cupcakes” hosted the party in their home in Glen
Burnie, Maryland. Thank goodness they have quite a
large home!
The spread for us to feast on was no less than fit for
a King. Many thanks to Evelyn and Cathy Figuracion, aka “Mama Fig” for their tireless efforts preparing
such a large amount of food in a short amount of time. Nothing better than good ol’ home cooking! No
matter what your food preference, there was more than enough to please even the most finicky of eaters.
After putting a pretty good dent in the food, it was time for the first game of
the night, the “Right” Family Christmas. Pat McTighe (above) volunteered to
read the story while the rest of us struggled to keep up in passing the packages.
Every time Pat said the word “right”, we passed the present we had in hand to
the right. When Pat said the word “Left”, we pass the present in hand to the
left. When the story was complete, you got to open the present you were
holding. This game has become a “tradition” for the MCC Christmas party and
always lots of fun!
There were two guess the contents games, one for the kids and one for the
adults. Debra Radcliffe-Borsch won the adult game and Sophie Figuracion
(right) won the kids game.
After a dessert break, there was a “very short” meeting, followed by another
game. Everyone who was at the party was supplied a present and two
numbers...then the fun began. This year we played “trade” the gift and you could only open it if you were the
one doing the trading. At the end of the game, MCC President
Donnie Gates pretended there were 3 presents left over and
drew 3 additional numbers. Former President Don Gray
“won” the last present...which was actually an award in
disguise. After Don opened the present wondering what the
heck was going on, Donnie presented Don with an MCC
Appreciation Award for his service as Club
President...September 2010 - September 2012.
The party started winding down around 11 P.M. Great
Food, Great People, Great Time...What more could you ask
for? Nothing...We had it all!
