If you’re looking for a T-Bucket gathering on the east coast this summer, plan to join us the weekend of June 3-5 for the 38[sup]th[/sup] NSRA Street Rod Nationals East at the York Expo Center in York, Pennsylvania. This NSRA meet historically attracts upwards of 4,000 street rods and last year added cars up to 1960 so this will be another super event. Why pick this venue to gather the T-Buckets? Well, this is an established event and certainly makes the planning easier but you also just can’t beat everything the NSRA offers over the three-day weekend.
Our group of three was small last year - Wayne from PA, Ed from NJ and me from MD - but there were MANY more T’s in attendance. Check out my thread from last year for more info and some photos. http://www.tbucketeers.com/topic/10430-north-east-coast-t-bucket-gathering-–-york-pa-june-4-6/
Events:
The details for 2011 will be published soon but there is always a lot going on during the weekend. There is plenty of space - four large air-conditioned buildings and plenty of grounds for parking and cruising. There are always many commercial exhibitors/vendors in the Expo Center, a huge vintage parts swap meet, lots of awards, prizes and cash given out, a Thursday evening kick-off party with a rock-and-roll concert/dance every night, technical seminars, a downtown parade, Women’s World arts and crafts fair, ladies tea, and a whole lot more.
Event registration :
$30 for a NSRA member and $60 for non-members - these are discounted rates if paid before May 14[sup]th[/sup]. There is an additional $10 after that date. Details and the registration form can be found here:

This is a NSRA-run event so you might consider joining. The cost is $30 for an annual membership (and then just pay the $30 member registration fee). Membership includes the monthly magazine, Streetscene, which has a lot of color photos, articles and event coverage. You can get additional details here:

Hotels:
There are a number of hotels and other lodging in the York area and they’re filling up fast. Here is a list of the lodging available in the area: http://nsra-usa.com/media/lodginginfo/2011/2011_york.pdf The York Convention and Visitors Bureau will also assist you. Don’t wait, the Holiday Inn already has a waiting list…if you’re planning to join us, start making your reservations soon.
Trailer Parking :
Many of the hotels have room for trailer parking so check when you make your reservations. In addition, there is usually parking at the Expo Center for truck/trailer parking for a reasonable fee.
This is a big event and coordinating between different hotels will be challenging but we’ll do our best with cell phones and the Internet. If there is enough interest we’ll coordinate group dinners. Rest assured we’ll all be gathering at the York Expo grounds during the day where there is plenty of room to cruise and park. Watch this thread for updates as they become available. Interested? Questions? Come out and join us!
