usmcdad, I was getting sort of sick of this thread but I have to agree with your thoughts on the first trip to the Nats in Louisville. My first trip was 87 but I had wanted to go for years just couldn't or didn't have a Street Rod. I have had many cars over the years but the first NSRA was just special.

I’m guessing your username is US Marine Corps Dad. I have something you would be interested in, it’s a poem from a Marine plus a letter to his Dad, and I’ll post it as soon as I can get the print and pictures smaller.
