You weren't mistaken. Quint was at RedWing, we were good friends & I talked to him. He also introduced me to several serious GTO folks that I hadn't met before, & am still good friends with today. Quint wrote articles for HPP, & often took pics to support those articles. Believe his '70 WT-7 auto was there. The lineup of '70 White Judges facing the Casino was def impressive.
Believe that impromptu lineup took place on a Friday, as the first show was wrapping up. Remember loading up the back of my truck w some tough to find parts. That with my near 5 year old son in tow (whew!). If not Friday, it was def the day before the drag races at RockFalls in WI.
This was the back to back shared location national show for GTOAA & POCI, a forerunner to the later CoVentions.
