Talking We made it to Nats!

We just arrived at our hotel in Knoxville. mr4spd, jimhackney, ksmith203. The trucks of 4spd and jim ran great. Mine was on a trailer. We have just checked and are going to get some much needed sleep. We left about 45 minutes late. The rental place did not have my trailer had to drive 38 miles there then 38 miles back to get it. We loaded my truck and headed down leaving at 1.25. We ran between 55 and 60 the whole way. We did stop and eat once and fill up several times.

Congratulations Kevin! I am a bit jealous but Maine is a long way from the Nats. We all need to see pics of the Nats and your truck in particular at the Nats. Make sure that you take some and post them. Have a great time!

Great news Kevin, well done to you for still making it with your truck (even if you had to trailer it). I hope you all have a superb time, that goes to all who are there.
Safe journeys back too.
All the best Paul.

Took lots of pics today. I will get the interior of panels tomorrow for axracer as well. Does anyone want specific pics of anything? Let me know I will check back after dinner. A bunch of FTE members are going to Golden Coral in Pigeon Forge

Kevin, If you get a chance to take dash pictures of 48-50 for AC ducts I would appreciate it. I am looking for ideas.

Thanks

Anything from the "Dark-Sider" variety for me Specifically, un-chopped, with suicide doors. I keep tossing this idea around, I'm just not sure if I want to take the plunge. All the ones I have seen are chopped, and I don't want to do that.

Have fun guys!

We plan on coming Saturday morning. Do you think it will be worth a 4 hour drive on the last day or will Saturday be the biggest day?
