Also if anyone would like to donate items or sponser the show in any way we would be ever greatful. Thanks and hope to see you all there

 

Man, the scrap drive is during the same time.... So many shows not enough time.

 

yeah it kinda sucks they put it on the same day even though we have ours the same weekend every year but not a big deal. we have some neat stuff comming including our member Craigs Handicap accesable 55 chevy suburban and some neat old drag cars. oh and we have shade

 

Hey oldmuleskinner lets keep in touch so the Scrape Drive and the Road Block don't happen on the same time again. This really sucks. I wanted to make it to your show some time. We need to keep in touch with Breeder for the Rust Revival too.

 

....the Scrap Drive show was put on on the date it was because that was the only weekend available at the Boone County Fairgrounds in early June. If we get the chance to shuffle the date, we mite consider that., ...the fairgrounds has a pretty tight schedule of events goin on all year.
Maybe the Barons could consider a date change too, so that more people could attend both shows. ...just a thot,...let's keep in touch on this.

 

I want to attend both events too.... We dont have enough of these events in Illinois as it is.

 

Are any of these events having a party that night after the show?

 

ours will! startin last week!!!! how far apart are the barons and butchers shows...mileage wise i mean?

 

Hey Todd mapquest said about 60 miles. Just a lil over an hour drive time. People could do both if they wanted to.

 

hr each way.......thats doable!

 

Damn...two cool shows on the same day in Illinois...Will definately try to make one or both...If either show wants to send flyers, I'll help promote it down here....

 

I'm right between the two of them, maybe I can hit both. It's also the same weekend as Billetproof Detroit which isn't too incredibly far either plus I've got family there. So many shows we could almost have one every weekend of the summer!
Thanks to all of you guys for organizing such great events. It can't ever be a bad thing to have to decide which event to go to. It just means we have to take lots of pictures of both events so we can see what we missed.

Thanks
Kirk

 

Yea thats two for one. Can't beat that, I guess.

 

I did the Road Block the first year, then I did the Rust Revival last year it was on the same date as the Road Block. Now the Scrap Drive is on the same date as the Road Block this year you guys are killin me here.... But it would be cool to hit both of them

 

Hers a few pictures from last year.

 

Hey, It's a good show & for a good cause, but you do what you have to do

 

Heres a few of the awards we made last year!

 

This is what our show is all about! our buddy Craig and his 55 suburban

 

That sub was at the Pile Up last year I think. I thought that thing was too kool. Awesome job on that one. I think a bunch of you guys were standing around it then too.

 

this is the kind of award that shows should have, if any awards that is. maybe some day i'll have something cool like this. welding some junk laying around together and then giving it to someone.

 

I had a good time at the Scrap Drive last year, but the Baron's show has been on the same date for the previous 2 years.

There is usually a post party in Plainfield, but I'm not sure this year since the show moved.

 

yeah, past 2 or 3 years. It's a great show. So is the Scrap Drive. Tough choice, but I'm going to the Baron's Road Block... it's a great cause and a historical location.

 

I have wanted to go but have not been able to go. RR last year and I may have worked the year before. Hopefully I will make it sometime soon.

 

Hey inkundone, we just have a good time building those awards. Its always neat to see what everyone comes up with.

 

Yeah craigs suburbans is awsome. He did all the design work on it and its just a jaw dropper.

 

Hey No Cicadas This Year!

 

Hey good luck with the show guys. I hope the weather is good for everyone. I think the Rust Revival stirred up some enthusiasm for everyone.

 

Can't wait!!

 

It was just pointed out to me that the show info from last year's show is still up on the web, so there is some conflicting info out there. So make sure everyone you know knows that the show location is different. All the correct info is here

Ummm...just got back from the Rust Revival.

I'm planning on being at the Scrap Drive in the morning, going to the Road Block in the afternoon and then over to the Voodoo Kings cruise night.
Blondie (a.k.a. the Wife) wants to check out dowtown Chicago and St Charles on Sunday...then back to home to gear up for Sturgis on the River (pre-party Wednesday night)

But, then again I'm a "Road Warrior"
