[QUOTE=Dave Severson;357381]Hey, I gotta ask a couple questions again:

1. Nobody wanted to address the issue of "pre-'49" being applied to a 2009 glass body on a 2009 frame with a 2009 drivetrain??????

2. Guess I'm still waiting for someone to tell me WHY the new rules instituted by the NSRA will be so bad?????

We have a 2005 glass body on a 2005 frame with a 2006 dirve train. "ALL" the major componets for the 32 glass car were purchased at rod events like tha nats.

The NSRA would not have stirred up a hornets nest if they had 1. Actually asked the members or 2. Used some reasonable year cut off instead of floating year that keeps increasing each year. In 20 years my wife's Prius will be elidgble or 3. Changed the other events and left the nats alone.

I have been to the nats for the last 5 years. When you have 11,000 to 13,000 cars at this event there is not a lot of additional parking. I admit you could get maybe a couple more thousand cars parked but I am betting attendance will remain about the same.

I am going to follow your advice. I plan on letting my membership expire in 2010 and forget it. I think this is a great opportunity for club sponsored events like the back to the fiftes in MN.
