Wow, those engines are pure awesomeness! I may have to take a trip over there before they change it up too. Be a good excuse to get some parts too.

For me, it's always been bothersome that they were only open from 2-4pm M-F, but I had never heard the explanation before. Dave Severson mentioned that Bill was the same way at the track, if the people started coming into the pits to rub shoulders with the racers he would head to his Suburban to hide Originally Posted by 40FordDeluxe

The new format, with the entire collection displayed and open hours to allow several hours, or even a day plus to wander at my own speed fits my style much, much better. I expect that I'll wait for the announcement that the new space is open before I invest the three hour drive to Lincoln

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

What's the old saying, "Promises are cheap, Honor is priceless"... The lost art of honoring a promise is said to be blowing in the wind. I will do it. I promise, unless a gust of wind blows it out of the mind of commitment..... Originally Posted by 34_40

I'm saying that the new format, with open hours throughout the day, no tours, no one controlling pace or position, suits me much better than a two hour tour led by some doofus volunteer. When the time comes we'll see if it fits.
