    Evansville, In. Just follow the street Rods. It is at the Fairgrounds. It is by far the best rod run in the central area of the states. Where else can you get entry into a great rod run, a really nice t-shirt, free coffee and donuts on Sunday morning, A country dance on Fri. night, rock & roll dancing on Sat. night, and a free dinner on Sat. evening. Plus their drink and food prices are so reasonable. Where else can you get a value like that, plus help out a great charity, plus possibly win some great prizes on sunday. The whole town helps out and they really welcome you also.

  15. I haven't been to a lot of street rod specific shows but I went a couple years in a row 98 & 99 and I had a blast. Before that I had only been to Street Machine nats as the biggest show I'd ever been to. It was just good clean fun for the whole family.

    I'm not going but wish I was.

    Hopefully I will be there on Saturday. I've been punchin louvers in their dash plaques for 20 + years . Did 4200 plaques this year and they said their pre registration was up probably due to the NSRA. Great bunch of guys and gals.
     
  21. Several friends are coming up from Austin. I'm going to hook up with them somewhere along the way.

    Definitely the one show a year I look forward to the most. Just can't say enough good things about the club and what they accomplish. You will not be disappointed. What they have done for Easter Seals and St. Jude's in the past is nothing short of fantastic. Anything above cost to run the show goes to charity. Was thrashing like crazy to make it but have had a little set-back so will be in the daily but for sure will be there in the Poncho next year!

    It is always the first weekend of October. Do a search for Pumpkin Run Nationals, and it will bring up all the pics and info from last years show. definately a show you don't want to miss.

    I saw your truck there last year. The paint looks like a mirror! If I knew you were a HAMB'r I would have tried to track you down and said hi. Maybe this year.

    a 'lil' known fact ! our good buddy VERNON WALKER of NSRA fame,, tried to buy the follies a few years back to make a small NSAR event out of it, the evil iron car club said piss off vern ,it's our show, and we are glad they did,so when you see any of them with the yellow shirts give "em" a hand shake and a thanks for the good job,,,
