Thanks for the pics, good variety of cars there, must have been a fun one!

Actually no.

I rode up there in a Toyota and paid $14 to get in the gate. I spent a couple of hours looking at stuff and taking pictures and then I got back in my toyota and went home.

They did not get my registration fee, "membership dues", nor T-shirt money.

My 48 sat at home.

Oh yeah, not everything was crap. There was some neat stuff to look at. Here are most of the other pics I took:

2011 NSRA Nats - Pictures Of The Good Stuff

Lots of good pics, here and on the post flipper posted. I guess for some of us, we just like a large variety, where others are more specific in their tastes. Our local show seems to reflect this too, though they changed the rules for voting for cars, now each business that sponsors votes for what their favorite car is, vs. Best Truck pre 50, etc.., it's interesting how cars that wouldn't have won best in class, have a running shot at an award. Can never tell what appeals to who. I just enjoy looking, and reading the build stories some provide. If they did the work themselves, I tend to appreciate it more, than someone with deep pockets who is showing off how much money they can spend(not that that isn't o.k., just not my thing!)
