    I'm registered with my '23 T roadster. E'ville is about 170 miles from my home in Southeast MO. I got absolutely drenched in the car a few weeks ago and didn't enjoy that experience too much, so if there's a strong chance of rain/storms on Thursday, Friday and Saturday I'll be going in something OT. I wonder if I don't take the T roadster, can use my event registration at the "spectator" entrance?

    The weather is predicted to be good in Evansville next week. Whatever that means and whatever will be the result is up in the air. The missus and I will be there in our white '37 Chevrolet coupe. I'm guessing it will be the only pure white one there.

    I,m going up early friday
    Never been before and I want to hit the swapmeet
    I was told that it is mainly street rods and not a lot of trad stuff.I,m not sure if that is true
     
  12. Nah there's a helluva selection of cars there, and I've come out of that swap meet better than any other swap meet that I've been too.

    So...the weather is looking good and I'm heading to Evansville tomorrow morning. I've been to the Frog Follies as a spectator several times but I can't find any info on the FF website or in the registration confirmation what direction to come into the grounds as a participant. I seem to recall coming into the grounds from the North before so is that the general area and entrance for pre-registered participants too?

    Yes, as I remember, you enter on the north side. The participant entrance is just after the RR tracks before the spectator's entrance. Enter and park, then go to the top of the hill to pick up registration material. Have fun!

    There will be 20 or so of us just north of the registration building under the huge tree. We normally have a HAMB get together at noon on Sat. but the last couple of years very few showed up. Look for a red 32 coupe, a black 32 coupe, a blue 33 Dodge coupe and a purple 41 Chev. coupe.

    Made it to E'ville! Hot ride in a Roadster for sure! Thanks to the 5 guys from Cape I came across by chance in Cape Girardeau, MO who let me tag along with their group. Much more fun to travel with others than running solo like I expected to do.
