Louisville Nationals Roll Call....Gonna be There???

Starting early so plans can be made to meet.
August 5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th
Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center
Louisville, Kentucky

Well I plan to arrive In Louisville on Thursday about 2 pm.
Driving the 37 coupe for the 5 hour trip. I have a room at the Hotel directly across the street from the gates of the fairgrounds. You will find me out front sitting in a lawn chair drinking a cold one in the evening, watching the locals get stupid in their hotrods...More fun than the show Stop by for your cold one out front!

Who's going ??????
We need to make arrangements to meet somewhere that weekend.
As damn hot as it always gets, preferably near a beer tent.
Lets start a list of who can be expected and how to meet.
See ya there! And Denise you still have my stale cookie in the bag don't you?

 

we should be pulling in sometime on thursday. no car though, i'm riding shot gun with norm in his 37 ford truck.
i will be looking for some of denise's cookies too.

 

I will be there, Not sure whether it will be Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I am staying at the executive inn as well.

 

Yes. Wednesday night, hopefully.

 

I'll be there from Thursday morning thru Sunday afternoon. I'm taking Big Olds and will be parking in the usual RRT/HAMB gathering spot along the wooden split rail fence that goes out to the swap meet area on the east side of the exhibit building. Also parked there will be the new RRT BBQ trailer that we've been working on this spring/summer. L'ville will be it's debute.

How does noonish sound for a meet and greet time?

How does Firday and Saturday sound for "offical" days since some might not be coming all 4 days.

Friday noonish
Saturday nooish

RRT/HAMB canopy encampment.


ALSO, don't forget about the Monster Art Show taking place on FRIDAY evening. A few of us are planning on attending so why don't wee have an offical meet and greet there as well, say 9PM. That gives folks time to shower and eat after the show. I hear there is going to be special hot rod parking out front. I'll look for the link to Von Tinglers earlier post regarding it and link it here.

and yes there will be plenty of fresh cookies for everyone, all weekend long. ( I got scared for a minute when we were building the BBQ, the RRT guys told me they were installing an oven so I could actually bake cookies at the show. Not only did I nix that idea, I nix the idea of a kitchen sink as well cuz the next thing ya know, I'd be barefoot and pregnant! )



Flys, Warts and Burnin' Rubber post

 

If all goes well, I will be there Thursday afternoon, Friday, and Saturday.

 

Denise,
Thats funny!

Thanks for the plug. As already stated, there will be a SMOKIN' ART SHOW in downtown Louisville on August 6th. Thats Friday evening....opening is from 6 till 10. Don't be skeert of the hoity toity atmosphere.....CAUSE THERE AIN'T ONE.

It is a neat little art gallery, but it is featuring artwork by Me, Johnny and Kali, Barnett, The Swede, K-Member, Boom Boom, and Hamilton.

All airbrushed T-shirts and some signage and other art too! Come out and get an awesome one of a kind T-shirt.....

Or just come out and watch me paint. I'll be airbrushing live in the gallery all evening.


There MAY be parking out front, I'll do what I can. If not out front though, there is ample parking in the side lot attached to the gallery. Don't worry about parking.

COME ON OUT AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HAMB ARTIST.

 

I'll be there riding with my brother and his Forty.

He'll be debuting his new dropped axle...

 

Here is the poster for the ART SHOW.
I'll try and find out some directions and post them at some point.
The address for the Gallery is on the bottom of the poster.
Hope to see you all there.

VonTingler, Are you interested in doing some traditional pin striping on the coupe that weekend. Let me know??

 

Looks like I'll be going. We will arrive late Thursday night-probably 10 ish. We don't have a room so again this year we'll be sleeping in sleepingbags in the Expo RV park-it's part of the adventure. We will plan to meet you all at the HAMB/RRT area along the street in the gr***y area at noon on Friday and Saturday. I plan to leave for home around 5:00pm on Saturday.Sam

 

PeteJoe,
I sent you a PM.

 

I will be spactating on saturday as usual

 

We are coming up Thursday evening. Staying at the Executive East. I'll either be in the Hotrodhotline Booth or busy taking tons of pictures. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
The gallery sounds like the place to be Friday night!

Sue and I will be getting into town Monday afternoon. Setting up in the regular spot (southwest inside corner of the building across from that lunatic Jerry and the Street Rodder booth). Setting up Tuesday (with Desoto's help I hope). registration Weds and then it's work Thurs-Sunday. Made the HAMB shots Fri and Sat last year and I'll try again this year. Stop by the booth and say hi and I'll give you free coil and battery cover installation instructions so you can help Marcus if you see him

I plan on bieng there from Thursday thru Sunday, in the roadster, I'll be with the rest of the hoodlums.

 

Denise Sedan Dad along with myself and sedan dads little one sedan son will be there arrive FRIDAY AM And Leaving Sat pm

 

I'll be driving the roadster in each day, thur, fri, sat. Can't wait to meet some new faces on the HAMB.

As a sidenote, the grounds will be MUCH different this year. They have completely reworked the main drag leading to the circle. When I was there for the swap a few months ago, they had ripped up all the gr*** medians, WTF!

This will put a cramp on the guys who setup tents!

 

and the hugh south parking lot is gone as well. They are extending the exhibit building all the way to the paved access road. There are going to be quite a few surprised folks when the tent companies they hire to put up their canopys on those gr***y mediums call them to tell them those areas are gone.

 

I will be in Louisville. I cant wait. Its gonna be great. My dad and I wil be leaving here at 5 am thursday morning. And we will be ther until sunday.

Nick

 

my real name is jake and I will be there some time. I hope to find someone to split a room with... If i dont't then I will probably just be there friday and saterday....Von I hope to hang out and talk sriping with ya. that helment was the first time I had painted at a show... kinda nervous. well gotta get back to painting some pinups on the skulled up a sedan before louisville.

 

Bttt.

 

I'll be there EARLY!!!!!! on Wednsday morning to set up the tent, hopefully in the same area that I have for the last 5 years. Enjenjo was going to be there to help me but that is up in the air now. Anyone that can be there to help, it would be appreciated. It is in the area on the way to the swap meet by the fence. Email me if you can help as I would like to get several spaces.

B B

 

Of course I'll be there..... Hopefully, my last big adventures (Nats and Bonneville) before my roadster gets its new motor......

 

Bob

Does that mean you are gonna help me set up???????

Bob

 

I will be there as well. I will get in on Wed AM and set up the booth. Stop by the House of Kolor booth and get a demo of the software ( I think you will like it).

Later
Carter

 

Hey looks like it is only about 6 hours for me to get there from Kenosha,, this is the first I saw of it.. I'll hunt down some other info, and probably wouldn't be able to leave until Thursday afternoon or Friday morning....

From what I read from Bob, there is camping?? I wouldn't mind taking a ride there for that!!!
