I just spotted a date comment by Chris Karl on FB. The ZCON 2022 dates are July 25-30, Birmingham, Alabama. He noted that the website should go up this week. The judged car show will be an indoor event per pics he has posted.

Dang it. I was hoping for nice weather. Oh well, they have to snag Barber when it's available. 😞

And, from what I heard, Austin 2017.

Oh Yeah! It was a June scorcher for sure. I had a female rider from Japan at the COTA event. No A/C in the car, she began to suffer heatstroke and we had to move her to a late model car with A/C.

"It's not the heat as much as it the humidity" 

I hate that saying, hot is hot no matter the adjectives but those new dates are smack dab in the hottest part of our summer. High heat warnings everyday but Barber's is very nice. I'll be at the pool attending via classiczcars.com.

Night time is the right time in July and August. We'll have our nightly safety meetings at the host hotel bar area. I can't wait!

It's amazing how I spent several summers in the south driving around in cars without AC. I was just happy to have cars that ran decent, and I didn't have to pay for them. I still drive around in the heat without AC in the Z cars, but now it's by choice.

Everyone remember just how hot it was out there on the tarmac for the people's choice in Memphis?   

I went out for lunch with Blue @240260280 and Ms. Blue. We were trying to decide where to go and the answer was "Any place that has air conditioning. Oh... And eat slow!"

Too bad your view was blocked by that sweaty fat guy.

LOL! That was by design. I was looking for shade.   

 

Gonna have to be skinny to hide in that shadow these days!

Well I don't think I've gotten any wider since the last time you saw me!  Haha!

So the only thing hotter than the tarmac at that show was inside the big Quonset hut. It was shady, but like baking in an oven. Brutal. Your choice was either bake outside in the sun with a tiny bit of breeze, or bake in the three-sides-closed Quonset hut with no moving air at all.

So Birmingham is likely to be like that, but with more humidity, right?
