MCACN Musclecar Show Butch Leal tells SS Hemi CAR secrets, Paul Rossi on new FSS A990

Once again we are at the MCACN show here in Rosemont Illinois 2025. This is some footage that my buddy Dale Matthew shot of me helping with the MC part of the Class of '65 A990 Invitational put together by Jim Kramer for this 2025 event Proud to be a part of it and thanks again, Dale!

HERE BUTCH LEAL TALKS ABOUT THE RON BUTLER BUILT SUPER STOCK PLYMOUTH THAT HE RAN AS PART OF THE BOYCOTT OF PRO STOCK IN 1974. Jim Tiganelli has his own commentary about that car, then Paul Rossi upstates us on his modern Hemi "factory super stock" vehicle being built.

PART 4 of 5

HERE we continue to unfold some of the aspects of racing evolution back in the day. The Saturday panel included Jim Kramer, Hemi Eddie Strelecki, Larry Griffith, Butch Leal, Jim Tignanelli, Larry Potenack, and even Arnie Beswick. Paul Rossi joined us as well.

I've got a full plate the next couple of days so I don't know how much I'll post during that time, but will certainly film things to be able to show you over the next several months. if I get time I'll do another couple of videos as well.

This video was made during the setup of the annual Muscle Car & #Corvette Nationals event is held every year on the weekend prior to Thanksgiving at the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. This location allows for a very quick shuttle ride from O'Hare Airport to numerous hotels right next to the convention center and this show typically features over 500 cars, focused primarily on the namesake #musclecar and #Corvette models, but featuring anything you could imagine if it's cool and has horsepower. Managing partner Bob Ashton and his crew work the entire year towards this 2-day event to make sure that every time it happens, it is better than before. As you can imagine, that is no small task, but his dedication and that of the people who help with this process are fully devoted to making it happen and have yet to disappoint. Please go to mcacn.com for details on the 2026 event.
