Wow some cool cars leaving the show, surprising numbers of Ebody verts among the cars.  I wonder what show this was? Anyone recognize it?

Cool

I have a VHS tape of the Mopar weekend at Union Grove WI from 1990. I'm in it briefly while putting a for sale sign on the 68 Superbee that I rode up in from Chicago with the owner.

Just got to figure out how to digitize it.

I'm not sure how you do that, but I know it's possible.  I grew up near an air base and used to spend time by the fence in the late 80s through 95 when it closed taking pictures of the planes.  A guy and his kid were out there all the time and the dad had a VHS camcorder.  A few years ago I ran across the videos on YouTube, as the kid has digitalized and uploaded his dad's 30 year old footage.
I went to Mopar Day at "da Grove" a few times in the early 80s and have some pictures from then.  I won my first car show trophy there!
I'm wondering if that video is from the first years Nats that happened at the Chelsea Proving grounds in Michigan?  I've seen pictures of there of the Mopars on display at that show and posing on the track.  In fact I have some pictures from it someone sent me back in maybe '81 of the show.  One car I recognize from the video that was at the Chelsea show is the first one in the video.  The FK5 Challenger R/T SE with the odd square white trails painted by the door handle and marker lights.  From the picture I have of it, it appears to have a hemi in it.
There's a picture the took on the track where they posed the E bodies, and there must be close to 100 in the picture!

Makes you wonder how many of those cars are still around.
