I though you had to be an NTBA member to attent the Nationals.

 

Nope! All ya gotta do is love T Buckets.

 

You do have to be a member to attend the NTBA Nats. It's in the bylaws.

 

I think anyone can attend the nat's, but you have to be a member to do the activties, cruises, and valve cover races Etc. But, I will admit I don't know for sure.

 

Wow! Did I hear wrong. Thanks for setting me straight.

 

Well Actually, you are both correct!

Entry fee for members is 35.00.

Non members will be 70.00 which will include a membership in the NTBA.

See... easy!

 

The Ad in Street Rodder says you half to be a member. With no other infor. so what is that telling non members

 

I've posted your statement on the MOBBS at the NTBA... will let ya know... sure doesn't make sence to me!

:think:

 

I was a member for a couple of years and they got to frighting a lot so I just dropped it. I see as of last week thats still a problem ever now and then.Don'e get me wrong I was at the Nationals in Mountain Home and the NTBA guys seem to be a nice group and help each other out. But some just don't know when to keep there mount shut.I have not seen that problem on here.

 

No issues I like you being up front about it. If I crossed the Line That was misconduct on my part Sorry.

 

Yes we have been having some small problems. But as of this post we are now banning non members who want to start or help fuel the flames. Members who persist in making waves will get swift action also. We know of a couple of persons who would like to see the NTBA go under. Why you ask, your guess is as good as mine. I personaly think it is about money. Talking about T's is what we are about. weelstang

 

Past Nationals

When we hosted the NTBA nationals in 2005/2006 there was an entry fee of I think $25.00 that was used to run the event. Pay for fair grounds, food, entertainment, trophy's. ect. It was required to be a member of the NTBA to be part of the event. I think it was $35.00 and the NTBA had a both at the event to collect membership. That money was used by the NTBA to pay for the NTBA website and other NTBA stuff.
I don't know how this year's NTBA national event in Springfield IL. is set up. Wheelstang is the current Pres. of the club and his answer would be the one I would believe most.

 

Tub T looked at the ad and wrote, "By the way, the ad says: Entry fee for members is $35.00. Non-member fee is $70.00 which includes a membership in the NTBA."

Hope that clears it all up for everyone! :lol:

 

All I know is, when I was starting my build, I got some really sound advice and have met nothing but great people in the NTBA. When my car is finished, aka legal, I plan to join. It's an organization with a history and a large membership. Heck, I think ya get a cool T-shirt when you join or a hat or both. That alone is worth membership. If I could make the scene this year, I would.

 

Re: Past Nationals

As a non member of the NTBA I have a qustion. I would like to go and look at the cars, talk to the people about their builds and get some good info for my build. Will ther be a place that a non member will be able to do this?

 

Re: Past Nationals

The public is not charged to view the cars the day of the actual show, and like most T-bucket guys, I assure you, they will be more than happy to talk to you about anything related to T's. The "Nats" are in Springfield, ILL. June 19,20,21, 2008 this year. I don't know what day specifically the show is yet...

You can also post questions on the NTBA Public BBS site without being a member... you will have to register like any other forum to post questions and replies in the Public BBS.
