Glad you were able to still have one last shop party Mike. I'm so glad I actually made a GAD back in 2018 and didn't just stop by missing the show like other eyars.

GAD (Great AMC Day) 2021
20 years ago GAD started at national trial raceway outside of columbus Ohio. I have been piloting the event since it started. However it has been 20 years and time to either hope someone picks it up and continues the tradition i started, or it will sadly be retired. I am no longer 38 and it takes so much energy to prep, for the event, and with a small business of my own, i just am not as fast at getting things done as i used to be. I have made so many freinds @ GAD. Sadly alot of those friends have went different directions in life. either different brands or sadly have passed away. I am very thankful and blessed to have had the success of being able to host the event for 20 years. Very thankful for all the folks that have made the short or Long journey to attend at least 1 of the years. The one thing i have always said is you will indeed have a GREAT AMC DAY, Rain or shine we aimed to make sure everyone enjoyed there selves. And Elsa or myself would lend a hand anyway we could to our Guests. So let me start this years report with our Wonderful Sponsors that are behind the scenes! High Country Graphics James Sobel J & K Resto mods Damian Terrell Ralph Winslow Phoenex Rose Fastners Mike's Auto Service Elsa Luke Bob And Bonnie Reed Tom Guarr Javelin Sue Lear Dennis Becker Jim Rose Rob's home repair services Control freaks Jim & Debbie (Fuzz) Scheild Weldon's Ice Cream OAMO Kennedy American American Race Headers Bazell Oil Co. John Garland Lucas Oil co. BLP Race Products Calvert Racing products AMO Treasury Sales A-70's thing Wirecare QA-1 Motor mount raffle by 68_AMX_lS Art of Thomas Estrada we have a bunch of faithful sponsors and could not have hosted GAD without them. Well, as most folks know, Sadly the race track portion of the event was cancelled due to rain.. But the weather has never stopped us from enjoying this wonderful time to gather with old friends as well as make new ones. And Yes, We had New faces attend this year even with the weather outlook. So, really not a lot to be able to report on the race portion of GAD this year. We did Try to get the reaction practice tree ideal for the classes, but there was very little excitement for that ideal.. So, i will move along to the car show portion .. even with the bad weather (rain)!!!!! thank goodness it wasn't snow, even tho it felt cold enough it might have ! Anyway. 1st place went to Mike Vaughn with his 67 Rebel 2nd place went to Brandon (?) Okea with his 69 BBB Javelin 3rd place went to Lonnie Landrith with his 74 Yellow AMX This years McCorkle award was given to Chris Abrell with his Awesome custom 74 Javelin! And the Rotor head award went to Jon Ballanger! there were about 5 different folks set up selling parts, not including if someone saw something i had they wanted to buy.. And yes, i sold a few things myself. We did Have Yet another First for GAD!!! A Burn Out contest!!!!!! Jon Ballanger won 1st place with his Blown AMC 360 gremlin!!! POS came in second place.!-)There was Plenty of food and drinks. Seemed nobody went hungry... and the friday nights Live music was again this year *The Crazy Gringos* Again i want to thank EVERYONE that has attend or sponsored GAD over the years. It has been a Pleasure for sure!

Because I could not make this last GAD I am checking in to see pictures of what I missed and see this
 First I want to say thank you Mike and helpers who have put this together in the past and this last event. It's sad to see this did not go on as planed but I know the party(s) at Mikes had to be good as they always were. So who has pictures of the cars at the parties, we dont need to see things we should not be seeing as it can get some in trouble unless you want to  And who won what Thanks again Mike  Dave Grant

Damn!!
Last GAD ever will likely end with one heck of a party, I'm sure!! Sure wish I could have made it down there one last time!! Thanks Mike, for all your hard work and generosity over the years!! Wish I could bring you guys some of that Canadian "10 second beer" that Randy McCorkle really seemed to enjoy!! Good times!!! End of an era!!! Mac.
