So far it's been OK but we will just have to wait and see.

The walk is even further at the NATIONALS ... so I suspect a floor of soccer mom and " back row used car specials " at the NSRA events in the future. I saw many, many 60, 70's and 80's vehicles crusing the road in front of the NATS ... ( Headquarters Hotel ) ... with " SEE YOU NEXT YEAR " shoe polished in the back window.

The Nationals will be more like the Shades of the Past event @ Pigeon Forge TN ... a big old used car sales lot. 4 door Falcons, Mor-Dor ugly mobiles and JUNK ... all dug to the event in hopes of finding a unsuspecting buyer ... for their POS. The streets are lined up the Parkway on both sides ... so bad that a lot of the motels have had to hire security to keep the used car slaesmen from parking their junk as early as Tuesday ... so the motel patrons can have a place to park their cars.

I do understand that not everyone can afford or wants a pre 1949 vehicle ..... that is why there is GoodGuys events and all the local cruise nights.

You cannot show your Chevette at a Corvette event. You have to have a Corvette ...

Pretty SIMPLE concept ... really.
You should have a street rod ... to go to the NSRA Nationals.
