The banquet room before the crowds arrive....
|
...and after the crowds arrive.
|
The table of awards from the drags, the car show, etc.
|
The table of doorprizes that were given away during the banquet.
|
The table with all the items that were later auctioned. See
that large binder on the table between the H and O in SHO? That's
the only "official" printed copy of the entire SHOtimes FAQ site in existance,
signed by yours truly. After some inital confusion over what it was,
it was auctioned to Joe Hatcher - thanks Joe!
|
People line up at the buffet as the food is served.
|
A slightly blurry (perhaps in more ways than one) ;-) Doug
Lewis attempts to figure out Bill Staib's digital camera.
|
Doug's reaction as I say "Hey Doug, take off the lens cap!".
|
Jim Eurenius and Bill Staib get ready to start giving out the awards.
|
Ben Bentley with one of the two awards he received for his drag
racing skills.
|

|

The picture shows Bill with one of each generation of SHOs.
|
Bill Staib prepares to speak after receiving his picture.
|
Don Mallinson listens quietly as they prepare to give away the
next commemorative picture...
|
..until he realizes that the next picture is going to him!
|
Don Mallinson accepts his portrait, showing him in front of his
'89 during the 1996
One Lap of America.
|
Joe Hatcher with his car show award for the modified class from
the year his SHO drivetrain (see SableSHO pictures on the Car
SHOw page for info) - that about as modified as you can get!
|
Doug Mellum with his two awards.
|
After the awards were given out, the auctioneer came out...
|
...and proceeded to launch into his act - as funny as any comedian
I've seen!
|
Doug Lewis quickly finds himself the target of the auctioneer...
|
...and quickly finds himself reaching for his wallet.
|
Joe Hatcher is the auctioneers next victi.. uhm, target -
escaping this time, but soon thereafter bidding on other items.
|
Don Mallinson explains the significance of this one of a kind banner
- used during a Ford-sponsored driving school for the Gen3 SHO. A
furious round of bidding followed...
|
...which this unidentified gentleman won - the final bid being
somewhere between $700 and $800.
|
The entire SHOhio '98 Convention Committee!
Congrats on a successful convention!
