You must have been NOT LOOKING ...
Thursday evening
There was a guy selling the Not Street Rods Anymore ... T-Shirt at the NSRA headquarters Hotel and he was selling them as fast as he could count the money.

I sat by my 32 3W ... for a good part of Thursday, Friday and Saturday





I saw LOTS of Not Street Rods Anymore shirts. Sometimes 5 or 6 at a time. I was parked right in front of the South Wing building and LOTS of folks were walking by and stopping ... After the Saturday give away ( at which folks BOOED ... repeatly ) probably 1/3 of the crowd walked by my location. The boos were so prevalent that the announcer said " go ahead and get it out of your system " so they booed again.

I only heard two folks ( young RAT ROD looking guys ) say they were in favor of the change ... and I saw at least 10 signs around the fairgrounds ( banners on the tents ) saying NO to 1980.

At registration ... Thursday
I saw no one in line to register for 2010 ... and usually there is a line.

They had 11,003 NSRA car registrations for 2009 ( according to the NSRA announcer at the give away on Saturday ). That is a increase from 2008 ... A lot of folks I know said they were going in 2009 ... because they were not going in 2010 or later. It will be interseting to see ... what the numbers are in 2010.

Someone else will have to report them ... because I do not plan on being there.
