Ok we got the nats behind us.Who is going to the follies this be our first time.We have heard nothing but good things about the show.We will heading out early friday morning about a 4 hour ride there.Hope the weather will be ok.
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.
I will too. Normally come on Saturday, but going to give Friday a try. This is a great event and the swap is usually one of the best!
We have a show called the Pumpkin Run.Great show reasonable entry fee same thing entertainment both nights bean supper on saterday,tee shirt,coffee and doughnuts on sunday.The car club donates to the shriners great event.
Can't agree more!! Always a highlight of the summer. We'll have about a dozen from our area traveling there.
Where in OHIO is that show? Whats the dates? Is it pre 48 also? I might be interested in taking a ride that direction,
you won't be dissapointed, they are some super nice people (e'ville iron car club) that put it on.. but if we could turn down the heat, that would be good too.. are ya going to be in the car in your avatar? if so i'll say hey if i see ya !! i'll bring the a-bone truck, and if it's not gonna rain and be 800 degrees, i'l bring the roadster too.. say hey if ya see us
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.
I was asking about the Pumkin run that Big Block Rick was talking about, I have been to the Frog Follies Many of times.
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.
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! 48 Poncho
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,,,
The pumpkin Run is a1970 and older show.They have entertainment friday and saturday night.A bean supper on saturday night and breakfast on sunday.The give away car this year is a 32 5 window coupe!! The split the pot is 15 to 20 grand each day! The fastiques put on one hell of a show and they donate alot of money to the shriners about 50 grand last year way to go guys.They had about 2900 cars last year.The show is Oct 1st 2nd and 3rd Be there!!
