Hey thanks guys!! I'll try the patriot place man. I think that Donald said the show is open to ALL FORD TRUCKS up to '79? Maybe Donald will chime back in here and say a little piece on this subject?


Thanks again guys! and hey Jon, I like to stay out of town too, I dont like traffic and such.

NO We didnt have any damage at all, but a few shingles blown off the roof. Some folks in E-Town had some major damage though.


As far as the shows, I haven't been the one in June in Pigeon Forge, but when the Supernats was there I liked it a WHOLE LOT BETTER!! Theres stuff for the whole family to do, instead of just me. You live in Sparta KY? We were there in '05, and '06 at the Ky Motor Speedway, our truck club the Tri-State F100's drove the parade lap for the Nextel Cup Ford Tough 225 race. I hope to see ya there!! I'm hoping to get some changes made in my '56 by then??

Keep us posted on your progress!

We might go this year???? it was HOT when we went before!! I'll have to see if my wife has to work or not?

TRUXX, Yes the daytime just waiting around for the race can be torture....BUT.... I live on the water,have pontoon boat so we can stay cool until time for race and the gal down the street works for the track so if i have some notice i can usually get my hands on tickets free or at a real good discount. It could be a real fun week end and i know a real good place to stay, right on the water/with boat for penny's being we are on this site about where do you stay,see ya

We usually dont stay for the race, we just do the parade lap and come home. My dad has an upholstery shop, I work for him in the day time and at night I build hot rods. I work on boats, but I cant get on one without getting sick!! Bob and Sam offered to let us stay the night if we wanted to? Like I said, I know it's probably crazy to you, but we never stayed for a whole race as we have a long way to drive home.


I wanted to drive on the track, but they wouldnt let us!! I'd loved to open up Pegysu on the track!


Later dude

They have certain days if you spend 40.00 in the gift store you can run the track but they have a pace car so you can't get carried away, but it's still fun.
