Coming up June 16th-18th Clarion Waterfront Hotel Indianapolis Ind. I'll be there vending inside. Nice rides, great people and plenty to see. 6 hour drive for me and worth it just for the fun, if you are closer and don;t go you are missing a great event. www.indyroadrockets.com Stop in and say hello...Moonlight Movies will be there, look for the HAMB banner
Well since I got no replies in 10 days am I the only one going? Lot's more spiked watermelon for me !
You can have my slice of "Bubba Melon" this year. I think we're going to take a pass on the Rumble this year and go up north of Detroit for the Eyes On Design car show at the Edsel Ford House. Don't worry, I haven't officially joined the wine and cheese crowd. Just time for a little change in the routine. And then I'll probably be right back on the "beer and chips" circuit as usual. But somebody will have to cover for me and post lots of pics from the Rumble.
I'll miss seeing you ClayMart....I don;t get away from the vendor space to take many pics. See you down the road Buddy ...stay safe
Have been to the Saturday show early on, but haven't been since it turned into more of a weekend event. Can only consider making it during the day on Friday. Will there be much happening in the early afternoon?
Well for those of you that are going I will be vending inside the lobby in the conference room... Look for the HAMB Banner and Bettie Page (She'll be with me...and you can take her home for a price!)

I really hated to miss the Rumble, but they moved the date to the same as NHRA reunion. Really bummed I had to choose.
We were bummed about the date move too. Had no choice. There is a big convention in town the weekend of June 24-25 so the hotel was not available, nor would there have been any rooms as well.
There are a lot of good shots out there,, but here are some of mine. Friday: https://picasaweb.google.com/105421993671397259537/6297690675283447121 Saturday: https://picasaweb.google.com/105421993671397259537/6297693580759880465
I was in Bowling Green too, I haven't missed a Road Rockets show in many years either, but Bowling green is Bowling Green
The location wasn't the issue. All the hotel's in Indianapolis belong to an extension / alliance of the Chamber of Commerce. Once the City books an event the hotels that belong to this alliance agree that they will not book a large event in their hotel for that weekend. The hotel's who violate this and book other events on these major event weekends are not allowed to have full participation with the Chamber of Commerce.

Tom Culbertson of The Road Rockets just had his shop broken into and a bunch of tools, a customer's '67 GTO, etc. stolen. If anybody hears anything report it. Reward for the car, last I heard.
