Nope

 

then why have like 30 people told me to go to it? it is built totally triditional!

 

cuz they want to see you get turned away at the gate

Whether or not you get rejected at the gate, you should come and take in the show. You will not regret it. But Denise is right, you will not get in based on the wheels and the Chromalusion (sp?) monochromatic paint because the visual styling of the car is not traditional, no matter how the build took place.

 

so i hear the party is at the bars at night is friday or saturday better night?
is there parking other than inside the gates where i could bbq and drink?

 

I prefer Friday, because that is when my band usually plays.

Typically Friday is the crazier night. Saturday is usually the crazier bands. For example we have Bleed in a rare midwest appearance this Saturday night.

There is spectator parking, but I guarantee you will not want to hang out out there once you see the inside area. Seriously.

 

and for the first time appearing together EVER live and in person a the PileUp...TWO, yes TWO running, driving, cruzn, 1947 Oldsmobile convertibles....no shit.

 

That's cool. Is it that redish one?

 

Why stand on the outside looking in??
And as far as which night is best....the answer is "yes"

 

Nope, this one goes to very, very, VERY few events and I talked him into attending the PileUp with his '47 Olds convertible.

 

is it worth even taking my car then?

 

That depends on how much you enjoy driving your car. But there are lots and lots of cars out there that don't get in. The Pileup is just as much about driving your car as it is getting into the gate.

 

For some people, the drive IS more of the reason to go. The last outdoor show of the year. Some really do care about getting in the gates. Others, like me, go because it's like a giant, weird, family reunion.

If its your first time you could always drive down, cruise the streets on Friday, and see the show, or bring the comfy daily driver and check it out to see if you want to drive down next year.

I promise, no mater what you decide to do or drive, you won't be disappointed.

 

Dueling Olds'? Do I smell a knife fight in the alley? I can snap my fingers pretty good.

 

...but are you a Jet?

 

yup, you will get to see how shitty it really is.

 

i got 100. bucks on denise ( denis i always have my machette on hand for you) to win.

 

yeah... it's what happens when a jokester gets ahold of a food dehydrater and uses it on hot dogs, then replaces "chocolate chips" in the cookie with hot dog chips, which after dehydration are super concetrated intense hot do flavor... in a sweet cookie. It was dark. I was drinking. And it's still funny.

Not with those wheels it wasn't, but it is a nice looking car. I don't know if the Fairgrounds will allow an open flame BBQ out in the spectator lot either, but they absolutely will not allow it inside the gates. Just park whatever car you bring and walk in, get some BBQ and beer from a vendor and check out all the cars. Personally, I'd drive your car down. If you like attention, the cars that didn't get in, get a lot of positive attention outside, too. There's always around 200 or so cars parked out front.

 

Others, like me, go because it's like a giant, weird, family reunion. oh thats how im describing it from now on

 

look for me there ,,, dam weather for saturday is a high of 48

 

do you think I would drive 890 miles 1 way if it wasnt a great show
or as we are going to call it now A WEIRD, GIANT, FAMILY REUNION.
shit im ready to leave now but they wont let me off work 2 days early
DAMMIT.

 

Not sure if any of you are aware of it but the Morris car show is the day after the Hunnert Car Pileup, about 12 miles away. Just take RT 6 east from RT 47 to Tabler Rd. and you'll see it.
