Thank you Spanky for the picture! That is just amazing. I would love to go to the one in Osage beach, Missouri. I showed my wife the pic, she said Wow! She thought that I was in a restored model T group. I said nope, all Hot rods. Thanks

Thank you for the welcome! I learned to fly in Kingman back in 1990. Lived in wichita most of my life, until 10 years ago. Now I'm out in a farm area next to Sedgwick KS, that floods quite a bit. But for the most part its quiet until I fire up the T.

I was going to drive to the nationals last year in Prescott AZ a 14 hour drive, but I just
bought a 2008 Lincoln Navigator that could tow a trailer. So I rented a U-Haul open
trailer, it was as cheap as taking 2nd vehicle for all my other shit .... sorry I mean my
other stuff.
Do you have a vehicle that could tow an open trailer ?

No I sure dont anymore, I had a nice chevy truck, but had to sale it. Yes there is no way i could make that drive in the T. But that's a great idea for an open trailer.I was going to drive to the nationals last year in Prescott AZ a 14 hour drive, but I just

Well be sure to stick around, you can never tell what might happen. Occasionally someone
needs to share a room, since most times the rooms at the host motel are about $90 to $110.
Or someone is coming along that you could caravan with or ...... blah, blah, blah.
The NTBA is a family, so everyone including kids, dogs, girlfriends and old people are
welcome. OK so most of us are over 60 yo, but we are welcome also. We usually have a shag
wagon following the group in case someone breaks down and needs a tow. We even had one
member that was blind ..... I will let you ponder that one for awhile !
Do you think you could drive to the Ozarks with enough breaks along the way ?

Don't wait too long to make your reservations. The NTBA gets a bunch of rooms
together, in the back for some reason !

Indycars is being nice with the over 60 years thing cause a bunch of the NTBA Family are well over 75 years young. We also have a member that lost his right leg in a car wreck and he uses a short leg to drive and a longer leg to walk around. His car also does not have a door and he don't let that stop him. The two of them drive that car pulling a small trailer every where...
Ray you will love this NTBA Family for sure come on down...…..

So what you are saying at 66 yo, I'm just a whipper snapper ???
Thanks LincolnT, it was starting to look like I was a family of ONE.
Yes he has been to our house and we went to El Reno OK for an onion burger at Sid's. I've
asked him if we could trade legs for the short afternoon trip. But I wasn't willing to give up
any thing on my end to make it fit. LOL !
I've been back many times since then, and it's possible that Sid and I crossed paths in highschool.
He as sat down to chat with my wife and I a couple of times after seeing the TBucket outside.
He even gave me a signed book about his place and route 66 that he wrote.

I talked to my wife and we looked at the date for the ozark show, and we found out it's the same time as the Hutchison Kansas state fair. She works for the Kansas highway patrol, and every year she has to go and help for a week. So with that being said I won't be able to attend this year. I just can't go without her. We are looking at other shows you have and maybe we can make one of those. I really look fwd to meeting you all soon.
Try to hook up with the Kansas City Chapter of the NTBA. Great bunch and I'm sure you'll have a cruise or two available in your area.
