Thread: Last trip to nats?

I did see a guy in a 70's 4 door maverick and 24" spinners try and get in early on Saturday. They stopped him but there were a bunch of people around so I am sure they were buddies just seeing what would happen

On Saturday while walking from our tent into the main building I saw a Prowler sitting under a large tent with a couple street rods. When I asked an NSRA official how it got in he said, "Well its almost old enough."

What a crock!

Deuce,

Nice to see you again. Really enjoyed our talk. Maybe next year we can do this at the Shades of the Past since neither of us will be at the Nats.

Back in the old days when I went to NSRA events I had a 40 Chevy that was (at the time) 35 years old. It seemed like a very old vehicle to me at the time.
Now I'm working on a 70 Chevy. It doesn't seem all that old to me even though it's older now than the 40 was back then.
This has nothing to do with anything..... I just feel old all of a sudden....

Sold it in December to a guy I met at BJ in Vegas. He live near Philly and is driving the nuts off of it.
All I have left is my truck and looking for an old wagon to do next.
After being at the Nats I would think it would be wise to look at incresing the car count at all other events. Space will be a premium at Louisville for another 1500-2000 cars. That is what Bob Reynolds said they are expecting next year.
We were tol 11003 this year as of mid-day Saturday

Oh well ...
he went to the Nationals on Saturday ... but was overwhelmed by the number of vehicles for sale. He found two he really liked ... but one has since been sold ( he waited when he should have pulled the trigger ) and the other is about 15 grand more than his budget ( 40/45 grand ) This is his first old car purchase and he is somewhat concerned about the price of the cars falling ... due to the future forecasted down turns in the economy .

I will make sure he goes to the Shades of the Past event in September ...
Always a lot of stuff there for sale. He wants a 3W ... Ford or Chevrolet ... no fenders and a 32/33/34 looking ride with good to nicer paint and A/C. Steel or glass ... but figures that a steel cars like he likes, are out of his price range.

.

Got there Thursday--spent most of the day fixing my car from hell. Had a great time otherwise. Met an NSRA rep(fixed his car in motel parking lot)--he was passing out flyers similar to the shirt. Met some old friends--made some new--I hope friends. To me that is what it is all about. Made motel reservations today for next year. don't know which car I will take--hopefully my ragtop sells and I have another streetrod--if not I will drive the 55. Enjoy
