Just a heads up for the new folks coming in for the Hamb Drags and those that consider it a ritual. All the pertinent info can be found here.

http://www.ozarksantiqueautoclub.com/Swap%20Meet.aspx

My spaces have traditionally been the HAMB camp for Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately I slept in one day this year and somebody nabbed my usual spot BUT, I was able to reserve the spaces just behind the old ones.

SO Hamb Central will be Spaces P-075 & P-077. I've usually got a dolly for heavy stuff and some shade if you can elbow your way in. ;)

There is a printable map on the website in case you get lost.

See ya'll there. BTW-Anybody want to buy a boat?

Oh Yeah, Just a heads up. They have redone the intersection at Kansas and I-44 (Fairgrounds Exit) and it'll screw with your brain so be prepared. You don't stop to make the left like normal when coming from Joplin.

Yep, it's pretty weird allright. But, as long as it works, I guess it's OK.

Maybe the engineer that designed that is dyslexic....

I thought it was cool and the traffic flowed pretty well into the swapmeet. Do you know if they are making a similar interchange on the next ramp to the East? There was a lot of construction there as well, but I couldn't tell if it is another diverging diamond.
