Is there not a car show on Saturday this year?

 

[Spanky]

There usually is a 'show-and-shine' event on the last day, but I don't see it listed. This is not the final schedule. Stay tuned . . .

 

[Spanky]

Townsend preview . . . getting the locals used to seeing (and hearing!) T-buckets.

 

[Neshkoro]

Where’s yours, Spanky!

 

[Spanky]

Unfortunately I won't make it to the nationals this year.

 

[lincolnuT]

Spanky I was looking foward to sitting and visiting again...........Come on down......

 

[Jim B]

Who from this group is going? I am thinking about cancelling my room.

 

[lincolnuT]

I am going.............

 

[rbsWELDER]

I am going but late!

 

[fletcherson]

I would consider going even though my bucket is down, it would be a nice bike ride. Unfortunately, I have plans to go on a several day motorcycle adventure exploring old roads out in the boonies and drinking beer with my best friend from high school, one of the few of our crowd left, lol. We reserved a cabin to have a base to hail from and collapse in after punishing our old, broken bodies. Next year maybe. Have fun!

I would consider going even though my bucket is down

Let me assure you that even without a bucket, these NTBA events will bring joy to your heart. The folks who are fascinated by 'theeze leetle carz' just also happen to be some of the nicest people on the planet. Go if you possibly can!

 

[Indycars]

I will be there on Monday with car. But will have to devote Tuesday to shopping with
the wife, but then it's off to the Tail Of The Dragon on Wednesday !

Why do they say the Nationals is 10-12, but then have things planned for all week ?

 

[lincolnuT]

Rick when the Nationals was first set up it was only a Thurday evening social, A cruise on Friday and a Meeting/Show in the park for Saturday.

Then it just has become a week because some of us wanted to see the area that it was held in/around so we started coming the first of the week to check out the country side...........

That is why it is still only Thursday/Friday & Saturday,,,,wink wink......insurance was reason for the three day thing in the past and that is still a major requiement for the Nationals.

When you say "First Setup", you mean many years ago OR for the 2021 nationals ? I almost missed
the Dragon thinking that getting there on Wednesday afternoon would be the thing to do. Luckily I
was able to increase my stay at the Tremont.

Thanks for the explanation !

 

[lincolnuT]

It was done at the first Nat's or so as I remember. The instructions on the Website is set up the same way.........I hope to do the Dragon too......My wife may want to stay home or at the RV........

 

[old round fart]

I did the Dragon many times on my Harley when I lived in Georgia. You will not forget it. It’s a blast. You can run your battery down blowing your horn at your own tail lights!

 

[lincolnuT]

Come on let's go to Tennessee, we are about a quarter of the way this morning and about to hit the road om the next leg......If you are late you miss the FUN, and also seeing me...........

 

[Spanky]

Yeah . . . I gotta admit. Seeing you is a real delight!
