How many of you are planning on the NATS this year? I know several of the regulars don't plan on it this year.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

I'm going! We're going to have a large group coming from Mississippi this year. Several Mississippi regulars missed last year, so they are coming back this year. Then last year, we had several rookies and they are coming back.

Not 100% sure at this point but it looks doubtful for me.We are taking an Alaskan cruise up the inside passage and will be leaving mid-August for 10 days so being gone a week prior to that will be nearly impossible.If I don't make it,It'll be the first one I've missed in many,many years.I am sort of getting tired of the Nats being in the same place every year though.....Sure wish they'd move it around a bit.Louisville is OK but it's been like 10 years or so in a row now.....It's always great to see old friends but the city itself is getting kind of old! IMO....it's time for a change but it seems like I've heard they're signed up for another hundred years or so

My brother (MO JUNK) and I are planning to make the trip.  I have not been to the Nats since they were in Oklahoma City.

I am on the fence also. I will probably know for sure this week. I have some family obligations that have not firmed up yet.

For I think the first time since the Nats moved back to L'ville, I won't be attending.  I'm going to lave on that Friday nite and head out to Blanding UT then onto B'ville for Speed Week.  It will be a 14 day adventure in Big Olds and I can't hardly wait.

I will miss all my pals that I normally see that weekend BUT I think I'll be seeing most at the HAMB Drags and/or Kzoo.  

Cruz safe my friends

Ok..Here's the scoop...We arrived in the area Thursday pm as we normally do, hit the fairgrounds at 8 am on Friday..( Been doing this a lot at bigger shows..Makes walking the vendor area's MUCH easier..), found a neat parking space & put up the cabana for shade...No wind..Sheltered area.. Saw no need to put cabana stakes into the ground...Spent Friday am using the same policy I used at Indy...Walk carefully for 45 min or so..then sit for an hour or so...Worked great at Indy & was working well at Des Moines also.. About 12ish we were sitting having lunch under the cabana when the thing raised about 6 inchs..came back down & then LAUNCHED... :shock: :-o   Without thinking I grabbed for it..kept one side down but it was flyin'...My only concern was the cars parked around us so I sorta...well I kinda ...I TACKLED the dumb thing  :!: It must not have been pretty as the lady owner of the NICE car about 6" away from my still flapping cabana came running over screaming " Are you all right?? Do you need an ambulance??? My wife said that I told her something to the effect of " I can be fixed---grab the %^&&*(*^$  tent ":!:  :!:  :!:
Some folks from other cars gave us a hand getting the thing upright & back to where we had placed it..this time NAILED DOWN.. :roll:  One of the guys told me it was the "best running tackle I've ever seen on an EZ-up...Ever think of going pro???? "....Another said he wished he had his camcorder running as it would have been a guaranteed winner on AFV for sure...
Anyhow....The important parts.....

A..No cars were injured or mistreated during this "adventure"....
B..I somehow did all of this & still was holding on to my samich... :shock:  :?
C..I never spilled my drink  :!:  :!:  :shock: ( Dave would be sooo proud.. :lol:  :lol: )


As for me...well...I can be fixed...again... :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

( My wife advised me I'll prolly be the one on roller skates & a rope at K-Zoo...She plans to treat me as a "pull-toy" :P  :P  :oops: ) .
