Wondering how many of you are planning on going? The local track promoter said if we were interested he would prep the track and we could go play.I am going to try and bring 3 of my old Supers (running,I hope).I have a friend that will bring at least 2 and Kyle said he was coming ,so it should be worth the trip.

There will be four or five of us riding together from Amarillo. I gave Pete Elkins a flyer Saturday night and told him that he needed to go...

David, are you bringing Pete's old car?

I am bringing one car I know. May be two.

I know it's poor planning to have two shows on the same weekend. Maybe some of you will do it like the old days and drive all night to be in Wichita, KS for the last day of the Bill Hall Memorial Show at 81 Speedway.

We need to call these the NCRA VINTAGE class and get together on the dates next time! The fever will build and more cars will come out of the woodworks! Maybe an old sedan bodied no. 55 will turn up in some form.

I know this, last year two supers showed up at Wichita Falls, now there may be six or seven. Things are heading in an upward motion.

Now we need to get them sporty cars out of the way and fill in the background with SUPERMODIFIEDS! My car is the one without a crowd around it!LOL

I was planning on 3 of my cars and 2 of Harolds (one is a Parson car). I will take you on a tour later in the day.Petes car is still sitting on the trailer in the to-do pile.

Need any help getting them to the show?  My cars are not finished, don't know when that will happen, but am trying to get the '33 coupe there. It's close but not probable. Will bring the white car.

My resolution is, if they run and stop, that's good enough to take to the crowd! Running isn't so much the problem right now, stopping might be!

Brian,

Too early to tell,I am taking a weeks vacation to get things in order(hopefully), if things go right I still need to paint and letter 2 cars .James Skinner said we would touch base about getting things moved around.
