Someone I saw in a very old post wondered what happened to me and I know I have not posted in some time or very much this year...sigh.

Well, here is a list of some events that I did shoot this year for photos and cars and Motorsports. Sigh, I did not even get to Wilmot dirt track even once this year...sigh.

Let's start with the 2022 AMC Homecoming in Kenosha this year. That was a very cool show with some very rare cars and I got to meet the 1968 Playboy Playmate of the year and get my picture with her and the 1968 AMC AMX she was given that year.

The Kenosha country Demo derby in Aug. My youngest nephew drove his first derby and that is the blue Honda which was a stick no less, 2nd place out of 3 cars in the gut and go, class. Not bad and he really was hitting hard for sure.

My older nephew drove that yellow Chevy in the stock V-8 class and had engine issues so did not do well, My niece's boyfriend was going to drive the cougar in the picks, but could not get it started or off the trailer. They all had a blast though.

The twin lakes parade for the 4th of July. The family was showing one of their demo cars and my brother's new race car for the bandit class at Wilmot Raceway this past year.

The Silver Lake Parade for the big weekend in May. My youngest nephew was playing drums in the event with the High School along with his girlfriend. My oldest nephew was riding shotgun in one of the firetrucks for the Randall Fire Department.

So yes, I am back from everyone thinking I am dead and off the radar. Been an Ok year with this stuff and need to get my butt back into gear for getting into shape a bit to be able to get back into some limited autocross I hope and very much debating to get a car and run the derby this year just to annoy my brother after telling him I would not do it again...

I came thru Kenosha right before that AMC reunion and googled the weekend info once I saw cars everywhere.

It's nice to see the AMC love. I need to mark this event on my calendar. Thanks for sharing!

The ANC homecoming with the History Center only happens every 3 years to let you know, so the next one would be in 2025 I think. 

I know there is a group that does some stuff every year for AMC in Kenosha,

She got out and I heard that the owner of her AMX did indeed pick her up from jail in her car when you got out.

Your dad has a nice ride.
