Is it best to go on the first weekend or the last weekend of HAN? thanks

junkyardjohn · 07-10-2004, 10:42 PM

ALEX..... IT'S ONLY THREE DAYS... AUGUST 5-6-7 THURS. FRI. & SAT. IF YOU NEED ANY INFORMATION, THE # IS 916-933-0949 OR RENOSWAPMEET@AOL.COM . IF YOUR COMING UP GIVE ME A HOLLER & MABY WE CAN MEET UP.

JOHN

Alexis · 07-10-2004, 11:41 PM

thanks john, from the HAN wedsite it stated july 31st- aug 8th. Now i know.

some questions.....

Where do you recommend I go, to check out some rides, shows, events.

junkyardjohn · 07-10-2004, 11:57 PM

DURING THE DAYS I LIKE TO GO TO THE SWAP MEET AT THE LIVESTOCK EVENT CENTER. IN THE EVENINGS I GO TO THE HILTON OR THE ATLANTIS OR THE PEPPERMILL. DOWNTOWN SPARKS IS ALSO FANTASTIC. ARE YOU COMING WITH A GROUP ? OR BY YOURSELF??

JOHN

72dually · 07-11-2004, 12:17 AM

It is actually 1 week long, but thursday, friday, and saturday are the best, my wifes driving my 70 GS STAGE 1, Im driving the 69 GS STAGE 1 4sp, and my brothers driving a 68 HURST OLDS from Prescott arizona, John's right Peppermill probably the best for viewing, ask where EDISON street is, from 11pm till 5am there's some drag racing depending on how often the cops comes around, Sparks-John Asquaga's Nugget for the viewing/drunk fest/live bands/micro-brewery's.
2 yrs ago, there was 5000+cars, anything and everything

72DUALLY IS CORRECT... IT IS A WEEK LONG, BUT MOST EVERTHING IN THE FIRST FOUR OR FIVE DAYS IS GEARED TOWORDS H.A.N. PARTICIPANTS,(PEOPLE THAT LAY DOWN THE BIG BUCKS & REJISTER THEIR VEHICALS) NOT SPECTATORS. BELIEVE ME.. AFTER THREE DAYS & NIGHTS OF DRINKING, STREET DANCES,CAR PART SHOPPING, & OGELING EVERY OLD CAR & TRUCK MADE FROM 1972 ON DOWN YOUR APPITITE WILL SURELY BE WETTED. IT IS A SUPER GOOD TIME & I LOOK FORWORD TO IT ALL YEAR.

JOHN

(TRUST ME LEWI.. IF YOU GO ONCE.. IT WONT BE YOUR LAST)

Alexis · 07-11-2004, 12:23 AM

At the moment I'm on my own. Not clear if my best friend is going yet.

lewi · 07-11-2004, 02:33 AM

I'm going for the first time and knowing how I like crowds, probably the last time but I have to check it out. Will be there from Thursday thru Sunday, leaving the truck at home though.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-11-2004, 09:26 AM

I really want to go and am trying to get pont to get I will be there friday and saturday...

Pont · 07-14-2004, 09:42 PM

Ok, can we get a head count then, and maybe a place and time for all us board members to meet each other? Either on this thread or this one:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=111498

It has been 13 years since I've been to HAN so I'm really looking forward to it. Junkyardjohn, you obviosly know your way around this event so could you recommend a time and place for us board members to get together? Either Friday or Saturday night?

YEP... I'LL FIND US A PLACE WHERE WE CAN ALL MEET. WHATS BETTER FOR EVERYONE, FRI. OR SAT??? JOHN

72dually · 07-15-2004, 10:45 PM

Junkyardjohn, how about the A&W root beer off plumb and kietzke, easy freeway access

Blue4x4 · 07-16-2004, 01:00 AM

If you all want to ride in my 69....let me know. I am a registered participant. It's kind of neat to get a different view riding.

Pont · 07-16-2004, 01:33 AM

Thanks Blue, that's nice of you and I agree about the different view. Last time I was a participant was 13 years ago. So long I hardly remember what it was like

TIMSPEED · 07-16-2004, 04:20 AM

I've got reservations at the Peppermill for August 2nd-4th...I know, not the BEST times, but they're comp'd rooms, so I HAD to use em these days, and I figgerd HAN would be there then, so, why not.

I'm not showing a car (don't have any older than 75) but I'll be looking at em' all.

junkyardjohn · 07-16-2004, 04:28 AM

A&w Would Work... Fri Or Sat??? What Would Be Better For Everyone??? John

Pont · 07-16-2004, 08:02 PM

I'm guessing Saturday would be better, I know that Frenchblue and I will be on the road Friday and I imagine other will be also. Whatever the majority wants to do is fine with me.

72dually · 07-16-2004, 08:38 PM

No worry's here, either day

junkyardjohn · 07-16-2004, 08:58 PM

OK THE A & W AT PLUMB & KIETZKE AT 6:30 P.M. ON FRI. OR SAT NIGHT IT IS. (DEPENDING ON WHATS GOING ON) WE CAN GRAB A HAMBURGER & A ROOT BEER & DECIDE IF WE WANT TU GO TO THE ATLANTIS, THE PEPPERMILL OR THE HILTON. I'LL GET AHOLD OF A SCHEDUAL & POST IT SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHATS GOING ON WHERE.

JOHN

Blue4x4 · 07-16-2004, 10:33 PM

see you there

junkyardjohn · 07-16-2004, 10:40 PM

BLUE4X4 .. HEY SCOTT.. DO YOU HAVE A SCHEDUAL THAT YOU CAN SCAN & POST THE FRI. & SAT. SECTION OF, SO EVERYONE CAN SEE & DECIDE WHAT NITE TO MEET UP??? THANKS JOHN

junkyardjohn · 07-17-2004, 10:42 AM

lets keep this thread going

silvertonguedevil · 07-17-2004, 10:56 AM

Man, that sounds like fun. I wish I could be there. I've only been once and had the time of my life. Is it still only open to '69 and older cars? I think that's what it was when I was down there.
