I believe I will book my room this weekend and come over if the forecast looks like no snow. I go to meet up with my buddies that come in from all over. It's a blast. I may be around the DRR or Nitroplate area and as always, I will be spending time with my friend Tim at The Fab Shop display. Tim will have my new chrome headers on display at the show.

If you received the flyer in the mail, look at the big picture. They photoshopped the crowd to make it look like more people. Worse than that, they photoshopped the vendor aisles to make the show look 2-3 times bigger than it actually is. They even coppied the cars for sale. We kinda played a game wtih it seeing how many copied people we coud find. :D

Hmmmm, If you say so.

I live about 1.5 miles from there and make it there every year. Its a great show. Thats about how busy it is on a Saturday, Sunday too..as long as the Bears arnt in the super bowl and its a conflicting date as it was a few years ago.

Nice meeting you gnsrule. Good deal on selling the Iceman.

Oh and big crowd also.

What a busy weekend. I got to spend time in the booth with Tim from Fab Shop catching up and JB at Dragsters For Sale. As always, it was great to hang out with the gang and go out the Geno's East for some great pizza on Saturday night. Really sorry I did not get to meet some of you guys. I checked out the Iceman it what a nice piece. Someone got themselves a heck of good deal on that car.
