We sat at the front gates from 7AM to after 10...watching the endless parade of rods drive in. It is a real sight to see. That is the best way to see 1000's of rods, just let them drive by you.
It was another hot day, 102 on the reader board at 3 PM. There was a slight breeze to really help. I spent most of the day in the huge vendor building.
I did not win the give a way car.....bummer...always a chance next year. I would much rather have next years anyway...a 32 Ford all steel 3 window...WOW!
There was 10,711 registered participants.....not bad for the price of gas. Like I always said, you can always cut back on something else...skip the T shirt purchases, drink Busch beer instead of Michelob,eat something less than a big steak each night...not driving you hot rod because of gas price is just a cop out! If you want to drive it, you can find a way. How much more is it really going to cost anyway?
In the morning we are skipping the fairgrounds and heading for a big antique store by Springfield, OH. It is to be 107 here, my feet hurt from all the walking on the grounds and in the building, so this will be a nice change. We have spent 3 big days at the show, so now it is Elvis' time to enjoy something.
Next year is the 40th Street Rod Nationals...we ought to have a whole caravan drive together from Minnesota...its only 850 miles. Forty years is kind of a milestone.
Think about it.
