Ozarks Antique Auto Swap Meet-Springfield TRAFFIC UPDATE

Just a heads up for the new folks coming in for the Hamb Drags and those that consider it a ritual. All the pertinent info can be found here.

My spaces have traditionally been the HAMB camp for Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately I slept in one day this year and somebody nabbed my usual spot BUT, I was able to reserve the spaces just behind the old ones.

SO Hamb Central will be Spaces P-075 & P-077. I've usually got a dolly for heavy stuff and some shade if you can elbow your way in.

There is a printable map on the website in case you get lost.

See ya'll there. BTW-Anybody want to buy a boat?

 

what kind of boat?

 

1972 Stinger picklefork speed boat. Minus motor and most everything else. Still has the i/o drive on it.

 

RAD! Think im gonna have to p*** on that though.

 

See you there Friday Ben

If you don't get there thursday ben and I will have all the good stuff bought up... Oh wait, i wasn't supposed to tell that...

 

See ya Friday, Ben

 

Oh Yeah, Just a heads up. They have redone the intersection at Kansas and I-44 (Fairgrounds Exit) and it'll screw with your brain so be prepared. You don't stop to make the left like normal when coming from Joplin.

I was prepared and it still screwed with my brain.

 

Uh, yeah. Who thought that was a good idea?

 

Yep, it's pretty weird allright. But, as long as it works, I guess it's OK.

Maybe the engineer that designed that is dyslexic....

 

I thought it was cool and the traffic flowed pretty well into the swapmeet. Do you know if they are making a similar interchange on the next ramp to the East? There was a lot of construction there as well, but I couldn't tell if it is another diverging diamond.

CRAB

 

According to the Wiki info looks to be 2-3 more in Spfld.

 

I like the DD setup, works well. Even if it is French...
