    I will be there 4 spots on the track
     
  2. I will most likely have my big black lab with me. He loves to piss on all shiney metal to give it a quick patina! My Lab is one of the biggest labs around. Say hi if you see me. Dryfus and The Rabid Whippet!
     
  3. Friday at PIR and Saturday at the Expo.
    Sunday... doing something that doesn't require walking very far.

    Glad I have vendor friends (someplace to dump the crap I buy)
     
  4. My wife says there's a size limit for wagons, but they don't seem to mention that on the website. I'm talkin' hand cart pull behind you kind of wagons. Is there really? Or has she been into the glue again?
     
  5. I'm not sure if it's changed since last year but at the Expo Center I saw quite a few wagons used at tree nurseries. Those have to be near 3 feet wide. Most of them have kids running parts out to the gate, earning money.

    At the racetrack, anything goes.

    Haven't missed one since my first in 1974. Sharing a booth in the main hall. Probably just taking some gas pumps.

    Stukks - If I were you, I'd plan on taking the Max again. The parking typically sucks at the swap meet, and if you park in the wrong place, you will get towed.

    I'll be there trying to get some quick cash for the model "A" crap we have, cowls, fenders, wheels ect. and maybe a couple of banger motors. We are at the track #6167 next to the boat launch. Going to have some heat going, stop and warm up and say high.
