Still waiting on my buddy to finish body work. Broke his leg and then some couple months ago.
May drive his Blk 73 Ventura if its ready by Thursday.
Proby pit by the guys from Fast Automotive just past last grandstand.
Either in a light Blue 80's Suburban or 99 Grey K1500 ext cab.
Look for a blue easyup and grey tent on an open trailer.

Addition;
Also 2 guys limp'm around(my heel's f'd up).

That doesn't make it much fun. How much time did you get to stay before the rain hit?

Probably 3 or 4 hours before the rain started. So was able to look at most of the show cars and the swap meet area before the rain came. Missed out on the drag racing though.

The drag racing is one thing that really makes Norwalk unique. Regardless, Norwalk is still a can't miss show.

That seems to be the same issue at the T/A Nationals. Most vendors are out around noon or 1:00 but the show is until 4:00.

the Dayton NATS vendors area was CRAP this year. looked like a bunch of junk this year. last year it was full, and also down the hill in the other lot.

my M8 from OZ, Joe landed a few really hard to find parts for his 74.

I continue to be disappointed with the vendors, not many first generation parts. I remember years back when it was at the airport I could spend hours going through parts.

I will say that I was impressed with the the amount of first generation cars that were in the show this year.

I definitely remember that 69. That is one hot car. My entire family commented on that car, love that shade of blue.

What car in that class beat you?
