i'm "glad" that the swap ****ed, glad at least that i didn't waste my time driving up for it. thankx for the pics.
I was there on Friday.What a improvement over PPIR. Very nice lay out for the show. Saw some old friends,had a $7.00 beer. Next year I might enter a car..
Thanks for posting the pics ,I was supposed to go,ended up going to a small local show with the model A ,got a trophy ,so now I'm a trophy Hoe!!
went saturday, 1/2 ***ed expecting to be bored but damn, we (me+my wife) had a good time,seen a LOT of stuff i hadn't seen before and then there was this truck with an ace cut in it for the back window..... and the coddington 61 chevy that won't run
Tom, there's always more to see than you actually can see on Saturday...it's the "biggest day"...every GG's event is that way...regardless of what you've heard from all the naysayers. The '61 did run...I saw it cruising around a couple of times...not running well, I didn't think, but motorvatin' under it's own power. Trey, like anything else you've heard, it's nothing but BS...if you entered before May 19 (ten days before the event) it was $30.00...after, it was $35.00...day of the event it was $60.00 for NON-MEMBERS (but $30.00 of that got you a one -year membership (and that gets you a 200 plus page full color magazine every month)...anyone that wants to save money will always PRE-ENTER ...of course, you can always take your everyday foreign piece of **** driver, park in the dirt and dust and walk in the gate for $10.00 a day... R-
rog, it's like this, they won't run without gas.....nice car, though and yeah i seen it runnin (barely) around sat.... along with that annoying 57 chevy(x racer, i guess) with fenderwell headers. i did notice there was a LOT of stuff that didn't run all that well,i'm gonna guess al***ude had a lot to do with it,well, that and the heat.... ray, GG's is just like nsra as if you're not as member, you're gonna be if you wanna play in their sandbox. i don't have a problem with that.. i DO have a problem with 6-7 buck beers though( and $4 gatorade and $3 water) still had a good time but kinda felt naked without a car there...
LOL Tom...nothing runs well without gas...!!! And that '57 was annoying...along with a couple of others that liked to "rev" their engines for no apparent reason. Always gotta be those kinds at an event...only way they can get any recognition. Yeah, it was hot up there...way too hot for June...but gr*** is always better than hot asphalt or concrete, like PPIR was. The facility is 1000% better than a treeless race trak. Next time look me up, we always bring our own beverages...always have an extra for a HAMBer...yeah, it was pricey, but GG's doesn't have anything to do with that...that's "The Ranch...". Did you notice any other kind of beer there besides Budwieser...at the Budweiser Events Center? R-
well, i did see yer car but hell, i NEVER see people unless my wife points 'em out, same with swap meets kinda thinkin' next time if i don't have a car running, i'll load something on the trailer and put big dollar signs on it in the swap meet and then i can haul my own stuff in.. btw, you are correct about the budweiser thing but for 7 bucks it ought to be COLD....
I went to my 1st Goodguy show 5 years ago in North Carolina and loved it. But, went to the Hershey show this year and it was a geeezer fest. Hell, these guys had wheelchair Haulers on thier rides! NO ****! I am 43 and feel out place every now and then, But hauling a wheelchair on your ride! DAMN!
How was the car count? Just for the record, it was hot everywhere in the midwest. I was in Pueblo for lunch. 98 degrees. At 2:30 in Fowler, it was 105 on the bank clock.
hey guys remember it aint for the swap meet it's for the cars==bring your own beverages==by your tickets in advance= any problems ask Kirk he will take care of Ken
