For the upcoming Good-Guys Nashville on May 17-19, I found a KOA about 12 miles away, thinking about camping for the weekend. Anybody else going / camping?

cool, will have to connect. I'll take the $36/nt rate of the KOA ;)

May break out some rum and a cigar and get a little camp fire going each night.

hopefully I can get a few more projects out the door in time, as I might not get to stay as long as I want.

So how big will this be? How many vendors? How many show cars?

Good-Guys? They are usually the largest game in town. In a few days they should be posting the vendor map here:

Just registered the C10! I need to get an overflow catch can before doing the auto-x, though. Maybe I can just zip-tie a Mtn Dew can to it like last time. LOL

I'm sure we can fix that for you:

Hey guys, we are up 25% on pre-registered cars so this event is going to be busting at the seams. We have a great group of vendors like every year. The maps will be up with the list on Monday.
Can't wait to get back to TN and the great people that come to this event.
Also we have Rusty Wallace Karting at the event...Let's see who is faster than Goodguy Ed......

Sparky, I just checked out the website. I may have to get you to make me some sort of tank, soon. I'm planning to install a box style can under the battery tray.

I may have a square that is already built. If so, it can go out with tomorrow's mail so you'll have it in time for the event. I'll check this evening and let you know. Email me at [email protected] and I'll send a picture.

A few people have asked about products. I will be bringing some radiators and overflows / catch cans with me, but won't be displaying at the show. I'll have them probably in my car or in the camper though for those that have asked.

We'll have the one in the 64 Chevelle wagon that we can display too!

Any recommendations on a good place to eat in Nashville?
Thanks

yep, and nice inside the camper! Rain pretty much subsided, with little bits of drizzle here and there. Hopefully it'll dry up for tomorrow

Thanks again for the hospitality, Sparky. It was great to se you again, and I had a great time Saturday! I could easily see this being an annual event.

my pleasure. Will be camping again for the Run to Music City event, and will be bringing the rum & the grille again :-)

Hey Sparky, I saw you drive in on Saturday, but when I went to go talk to you, you weren't there, and I never saw you again. Hopefully we can meet up somewhere soon. I'm not sure yet if I'll make it to RTMC.

shame we missed paths. I realized later that the truck I had been sitting behind for about an hour was yours. Some friends and I were dodging the sun under the bridge, and kept commenting about how your truck was clean and awesome looking. Hopefully we'll connect at a future event.

Thanks for the compliments, and for sure we need to meet at the next event. Will you be anywhere on the Power Tour?

I'm hoping to make it to either b'ham or chattanooga, but not sure yet

Thanks for the compliments.

Yes, Matt. I, too, think your truck is beautiful! I really like those old stepsides. I had a '67 small window stepside myself a few years ago, and while it was not NEARLY as nice as yours I do really regret getting rid of it.

Maybe we can meet at one of these venues, since I'm planning to long haul.
