    Let me see if I have this right. Everybody with pre-48's should pull out of NSRA and hope that somebody has the money and the backing to put together a new organization for "just pre-48's", right??? Then, NSRA will welcome all comers, kind of like Goodguys does now, and NSRA will become financially solvent and be able to put on more, bigger, and better shows every year just like Goodguys shows!!!! Boy, that boycott will really teach NSRA a lesson!!!! Good luck finding the new promoter, by the way, in these tight money times gonna be tough to find someone or some group willing to take the risk.....

    Wouldn't it be far better to just welcome whoever shows up at these "most sacred" NSRA shows (with money in hand) and be glad that you have some big shows to go to??????? I've seen boycott attempts at many different events. Usually about half the boycotters fold and go anyway, and those that don't are just left out of everything...... Maybe the Street Rod craze has just waned a bit, and it's time folks realized the pre '48 anythings are not the holy grail of Hot Rodding as they once were??????

    Boy I'd hate to think my 61 year old 48 Ford truck in too new to go to NATS! After working 2 1/2 years on it, with probably a year to go, what a bummer that would be! Should of got a 47!

    It might be my last one too.

    It is a principle thing.
    There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.
