Hot Rods 2018 NSRA Nats Louisville Kentucky

Be there, out back on the grass, with the 33 Dodge coupe, from the build thread here on HAMB. Oh, and we always have cold beer.

 

Fat47, might take you up on the cold beer. I'll look for you.

Going to try to.Just depends on what time i get away from work,get through Crashville and get up there.

 

Bruce, less then a week away. Coming up from Florida I always dread the Nashville traffic. Several times I've been stuck in it 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Be safe I'll see you in Lou-a-vull.

Gary

 

Almost finished packing.
Leaving tomorrow morning (28 July).
Making a couple of stops along the way.
1000 miles later I should be at the Crowne Plaza late Monday morning.

Helping Dennis O'Brien set up his booth on Tuesday.

Anyone looking for me can find me doing Safety inspections on Saturday or .....

out in front of Papa John's on Wednesday selling t-shirts by my car.
Only bringing a limited supply this year. I usually put them in O'Brien's trailer but this year they're only bringing the Mullins instead of the 14' trailer so there's no room.

Will most likely head back to the Crowne Plaza once the sun moves around the building and starts beating down on me. Getting too old to be out standing in the heat.

 

Oh yea, me 'n Dennis should have our '34's parked side by side in Mopar Country again on Saturday. We're the last two who've made 'em all.

The rest of the time I expect to be parked over near 6 Flags across from the St Louis Street Rods tent with Hot Rod Liz and her Winnipeg-based T-bucket. Look for entries 1 (me) & 2 (her)
She's got #1 for the 50th Nationals. I'm good with #2

 

The last two who've made all of the MoPar Country events with the same vehicle.

 

desoto, it wouldn't be the same without you.

Anyone know what time they shut down registration on Wednesday??

 

A friend told me 6pm.

 

2 Years ago i left work drove all night.A whole lot cooler.NO TRAFFIC,flew threw Nash. did ok until about 2:30 -3:00p.m. .Went to motel, it was 15 min early before check in time.Lady would not let me in. I found the most comfortable chair in lobby, sat down and snored for about 2 hours.

 

I'm not going this year but I think we will attend next year. HRP

 

My plan also.


Phil

 

Me too. Havn't been since they opened it up, but next year will be the 50th. First one I went to was the second.

Wed 82 - 20% chance of rain. Thurs. 85 - 10% chance of rain. Fri 88 - 20% chance of rain. Sat 89 - 20% chace of rain. Sun 89 - 20% chance of rain.

 

I hope to be there on Friday.

 

WISH YOU WHERE GOING AS WAS HOPING TO MEET UP WITH YA . I'M WORKING REGISTRATION ON WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN OFF TO MY BOOTH 507-8

 

Desoto....I'm betting you know a long time friend of mine, Rich Steyh, who had perfect attendance with the same car for many years until he got burned quite badly in a vintage midget just before the Nat's. He's from the St Louis area and was the "King" (as he saw it) of the St Louis Street Rod Assn. for many years. He drove a lavender ('57 Chevy color?) '27 T roadster with a Desoto hemi that was built in the 60's. BTW he still has the car but hasn't been to the Nat's but maybe one time since his perfect attendance string was broken.

Dates for next year?

 

August; 1 , 2, 3, 4, 2019

I be set up in the swap meet area

later kb

 

We used to go every year, will miss it again this year. Love this show and the opportunity to drool over all the new hardware!

 

Gman0046, we gave up on the route through Nashville years ago, now stay on I75 to Lexington then I64 to Louisville. I have found that it’s an easier drive. Dave

 

Hey, thanks.

 

I'll be seeing you there. I get to NOT spend the weekend in the swapmeet this year.

 

Legends47, thanks for the heads up eliminating Nashville. I'll try it.

Gary

 

Hey all,
First time posting! And, this will be my first time going to the Louisville show and will be there Friday afternoon and all day Saturday...any suggestions on where to park? I'm bringing my 1930 Ford...just looking for a good place to hang out, look at cars, and hopefully learn a few things Here's my project for the last 5 years...

 

Yes Danny, that's our plan we have missed a few years due to illness etc, we were going every five years, there are eight Brits going to be there hopefully next year. I'd really like to meet up and have a beer etc.

 

I don't know where in Florida you're coming from, but can you take Briley Parkway past the Grand Ole Opry? I go through Nashville at all times of the day and haven't ever been caught in traffic that bad. I quit going through downtown years ago due to traffic. Even though it would take you further to go around the city I believe it would save you time.

Maybe a record: 5 years between joining and posting.

 

Thanks for the response atch! As the note said, been busy for 5 years, so, makes sense ..."and, I gladly accept this award on behalf of the academy"....Anyone else got any suggestions? LOL
