You guys come on down/over/up or wherever. I'm just outside Nashville and would gladly put somebody up if needed. I'm about 2 hours from Ron and my roadster will be done by then also.

Ron, you know the crew will help if you need anything.

SO, I ask my wife if she wants to go to her mom's in July. Usually we go in the spring, and in late August. She will think something is wrong with me. I usually do not want to go to her mom's except on race weekends. Bristol Tennessee. I think I could have my 72 2WD ready for a road trip by then. I spent time workin on the stereo this weekend. The stereo is almost loud enough to drowned out the junk my kid listens to that I hate. ya'll can fill in the blanks about my music choices . I'M IN

Sounds cool, no clue if mine will be road-trip worthy by then...

It don't matter if it is running or not. Get here anyway you can and you will be welcome. This is more about people getting together with others who share a common interest. So ready or not just come on and enjoy yourself.

VT beat me to it. Nashville, Jackson, or Memphis just let us know and we'll be there to pick you up. This may be the only chance for us to all shake hands. Don't miss out..

5150 · 11-10-2008, 03:56 PM

I volunteer to pick you up in Nashville

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-10-2008, 04:54 PM

I can pick-up @ Memphis, I have 4 spare Bedrooms, and I am 1 hour to Ron's

Jtrux · 11-10-2008, 05:57 PM

A plane ticket isn't the worst idea. For people like me and AJ that have to drive real far I would think it would be acceptable to fly in just to meet up with everyone. It would suck not being able to drive the blazer up there but it would be worth meeting everyone.

EDIT: Even with gas cheaper right now it would be cheaper for me to fly rather than drive anyways.

**Ron 586** · 11-10-2008, 06:44 PM

Now this is what I'm talking about. Explore all the options and just make it happen. I had one motel that worked with us last year and gave us a good group rate and could maybe get another with a little work. Let's keep up the good work. Thanks guys.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-10-2008, 05:57 PM

Let me check into tickets I may just be up for that....

Awesome!

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-10-2008, 07:02 PM

I have already asked off for Fri - Mon and get off early
enough on Thu for anyone wanting to fly in that night.

72Levi · 11-10-2008, 11:39 PM

Its tempting, especially after I install my factory tilt steering

it would be comfort driving all the way there.

Welcome to the board from Big Sandy, West Tennessee. Hope you will be able to join us here in July for fun, food, and fellowship with some of the finest people you will ever meet. Check out the photobucket link at the bottom of my siggy and get an idea of what you will be getting into. Any questions just post them up or PM me and I'll try to answer them. Great response gang keep up the good work.

Wonder if we could somehow do one of those "where in the world" maps tagged into this thread.

We could log on and mark the location from where we'll be traveling from to get to Tenn.

Anybody know how to do that?
