    Always looking for a cool car show. I love that area for driving around in the hilly country. Anybody know if there is a pre-show party? Maybe at the NO NAME?

    here is what I want to know, why is everyone so up in arms about the name of the show. If you look at pictures of that billetproof there were a number of "Rat rods" there, i don`t hear anyone bitching about that. Another thing the name ratrod is so generic that one man`s bitchin traditional rod is another man`s "rat rod".

    Planning on being there. Have to get someone to take my shift at work.
     
  25. The "rat" thing is probably because Don's dragsters have been called "Swamp Rat" for 50+ years. I was at his museum Monday, it was awesome!

    I like the attitude of this thread... I'll be riding out with my crew as always. Looking to set up camp and enjoy the day in an easy enviroment. Something tells me that everyone can find the F-Bomb A.C. camp by Don's shade trees that outline the field. If anyone cares to ride up with us, we're meeting at the Hess gas station via I-75 and S.R. 54. We'll be departing that exit at 7:30am to head to the show. Anyone's more than welcome to join us for the cruise....
