I just wanted to tell you guys that we really enjoyed the car show. You all worked your butts off and it showed. The fashion show was great.

Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the 29^th Run to the Sun.  Congratulations to the members of Relics & Rods for a job well done.  As usual, we participated in all the activities and the wives also took in the fashion show.  Still one of the premier events in the Southwest.

Thanks for the great week-end. Your group is a first class bunch. That was my first rod run in 15 years. We left Lake Havasu in 1991 driving our 37 Chevy and returned in 2006 with the same car. Thanks for the great time guys. From the food to the t-shirts, everything was great! SeeYa in 2007.

We had a great weekend with family and meeting new car buffs. The activities were fun from the poker run to the show and shine. We were too tired Sunday morning to do the cruise but we would hate to see it end. Thanks for a great weekend.

We had such a great time at the show this year. We showed our first car and WON!!  Not only Top 10 but the Bradley Chevrolet Sponsor pick.  What a great venue and what great organization you have at the show.  Everyone is so nice and helpful, everything is so well run.  What a lot of work it must be to prepare!!  We appreciate everyone who put this show together and can’t wait until next year.

We are building a 1961 Corvette and were so excited to find out we will be able to enter it in the show next year.  This is a GREAT Lake Havasu tradition.  Thank you for making it possible for us to enjoy such a great car show.  Keep up the good work.

Again, our thanks for all your hard work and dedication to this show.
