Hello all,

I just wanted to let everyone know that this summer will be the 22nd annual "Ozarks Run" in Branson Missouri.

For information about the show..go to the club website and scroll down and follow links:

Show-Me F100's

Or go straight to the show information page:

Show-Me F100's

The rooms are the same as they have been for several years. $49.95 a night.

Hope to meet some more of you there this year.

 

I went last year and plan to try again this year

 

I was not able to attend last year. I had just been released from the hospital and was on I.V.s at home. I had one of the club members cancel my room at the last minute.

There were 100 trucks registered. There were more trucks there who were not registered. Plus the club trucks were there (minus mine). The club trucks are not allowed to register or win any trophies.

The show is now held in "Area 57" between the Ramada Inn and the Dick Clark Theatre. No more walking up and down hills all day.


Area '57 - An out-of-the-ordinary space for today's outdoor events featuring live concerts, car cruise-ins, motorcycle rallies and more! - Branson, Missouri

Branson, MO offers plenty for the family to do in the evening after the event as well.

Hope to meet you there 3golfjack.

 

I asked my wife if she'd be willing to take a 10+ hour trip in the '48 panel, she didn't seem too thrilled with the idea. I'll have to work on her. I got the time and mileage from MapQuest, and I realize the time they estimated is for a modern vehicle traveling the interstate so I think I'd have to add 50% to that time. I could load it on the trailer and pull it down but I think a drive in the panel would be more fun.

 

That I understand. Sweet talk her. Maybe flowers or a gift would help.

Wherever I go...I am by myself. I am used to the heat, a rough ride, and NO AC. Then again...I have only driven mine 5 hours in one shot (minus gas and bathroom breaks).

I cannot edit my post above, but if anyone has questions about the show..either post them in this thread or E-mail me at blb1408 (at) hotmail (dot) com. I think I can answer most of them.

The club site has an E-mail addresses and phone number on it as well.

You don't need a truck to enjoy the show and visit with a lot of truck guys (and gals!). If I read it correctly (I may not have), the peoples choice last year was a ladies truck.

The club trucks cannot enter, but most of us just have beat up drivers. Only a few in the club have nice looking trucks. Some don't even own a truck. They just love the old fords.

 

One thing about the "Ozarks Run" in Branson Missouri it's a great place to take the wife with all the stores and shows and a ton of all you can eat buffets. I must of gain 5 pounds last year.

 

Brian....thanks for that website. My truck was in there and I didn't know it. We had a good time last year, not sure if I'll make it this year, 'She' wants to go somewhere new. Not complaining.....Rod

 

I attended that show in 97 before I even had a truck then in 98 and 99 when my 50 was fresh. Then I moved to Iowa and that put Branson just a bit out of reach. It's a great show that I'm planning to get back to some day.

 

Just wanted to bump this up again. Rooms are going fast! Hope to see everyone there.

 

I went last year for the first time and thought it was great! The heat sucked but,we pulled through it. It was the most F100's I've seen in one place this close to home. It really got my juices flowing. Hope to attend this year not sure yet. Won't have mine done yet , but its closer than I was last year. All kinds of things to do for guys and gals and Everyone needs to make a pitstop at Lambert's in Ozark Missouri halfway between Springfield and Branson.Home of the "Throwed Roll " best eatin around ! The place is really unique. Try it you won't forget it or go away hungry.

 

I hope you can attend. Its a lot of fun. Mine is rough..but I will be there.

Lambert's is really good. I will be eating my meals with the whole club though. Everything is planned out.

I had the kidney transplant a few weeks before the show last year..so I was not there.

 

My wife and I are planning on going. We have a reservation at a different hotel though. My truck is far from ready but I enjoy looking at other trucks and getting ideas and such. Hope to meet some of the nice people I have talked to on this forum.

 

Only a couple more weeks hope to see some of you there!

 

I plan on being there. My truck is in shop. Chassis is 95% done nad I set motor and trans in today. Waiting to put cab and metal on.

 

My truck is not ready either. I'll be in My '03 taurus. But I think It will still be a good time.
