Still no love for us hey John????

 

I must attend the KKOA show in Salina!

 

I love the CHEATERS
Nite Owl show is the best thing in Milwaukee hands down.....
How many years have you been doing that?
11 years now?
Please let us know the date for August of 2012.
I know that show is great and I have been there 3 times.

 

32nd Anniversary KKOA Leadsled Spectacular & Friday Run What'Ya Brung Drags

July 26-27-28-29, 2012</PRE>

 

We (my bro and I) have been invited to the WOW show in Kansas City...and to Detroit to show our Caddys...I think we'll make the KC show but Detroit is a no-go since we drive our cars (and we have no heaters in them)...and getting out of Denver in Feb. is sometimes impossible.

After that, we'll go west next summer...I've had enuff midwest humidity to last me several years...The Yellowstone rod run is the same weekend as Salina...and GG's Puyallup event is also the same weekend...doubt we'll even do the HAMB drags in 2012...!!!
