2009 Supernationals
I am having to set out my vacation for 09 and I am still up in arms about going back to Knoxville this year. I spoke with Pat Ford @ Bowling Green and he had the new flyer since the show has changed hands again since May 08. Of course he was selling it hard. I am just afraid of the arrival of 2000 08 mustangs and other stuff that takes away from the F100 Supernationals. I also noticed that since the years were opened up for the trucks that attendance had went down but I think that is mainly where the show is located at the City of Knoxville Fort Knox Gated Park. I may go back if some FTE members go but I don't know yet.

We also plan to attend the show in PF in June. The Nats seems to be a dying thing as far as F100s go.
Garry, what are the exact dates of this year's show? Donna needs to put in for vacation.

Hey homade, we may not go this year? We are still undecided as of yet. Money is real tight since all thats been going on in my family and "IF" we do go, we'll probably drive my new truck instead, since it gets alot better MPG's?
As of now, we are still in the process of our decision, BUT we will NOT go back to the "nats" since the change

Same as Nashville, thats a problem. Nearly all of our people go to Nashville and thats a big puller for our show in Ardmore. Well sorry about the PF show, I will have to be in Nashville that weekend. I will problably skip the Nats in Knox too. I was thinking about tracking up to Michigan for the Woodard cruise next summer.

At the 2008 SuperNats, I spoke with one of the new owners reps...expect to see a lot more cars in 2009.
The reason for all the cars? To make more money...what else!
The rep said the attendence (and money) was down, and the show's promoter is hoping by adding lots of cars, the attendence (and money) will improve.
I've never attended a swap meet that was as dead as the 2008 Nats was on Thursday, and I've been attending swap meets since 1966.
This 3 day swap meet was the only reason I went to the Nats.
At any SoCal swap meet (rain or shine), it's standing room only before dawn breaks. And...the "goodies" are usually gone by 9AM.
