Rick-rat Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I plan to be there, but first I need to pop rivet my hood skin to the cross bracing on the underside and probably install some hood pins to avoid a catastrophic failure on the freeway :sneaky: 2 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Or run without a hood like hobo did last year to Canby :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Is it June yet?!?!?!?! 84-85 Days ? :frantics: 4 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Are there showers, water, electricity, lighting? I considered having a shower trailer brought in , there are no showers . There will be generators on site supplying power for those that need things charged , and lighting , and for the bands/pa. there is all kinds of fresh and river water . Those that are only coming for the day can expect to have basic refreshments ( bottle water ) provided . This is a camping event with a car show . For those of us camping , coffee and muffins will be provided on Saturday & Sunday . No charge ! tips will be accepted by the beautiful young ladies serving . Due to remote location there is NO cell phone signal . Plan accordingly And just a reminder , We are 70% booked with pre registrations . The VIP spots are almost gone . 3 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Al, how long before flyers are done?, last Friday after I parked at the yard I got tired of waiting for my gf so I started walking....did about 100 yards from the yard and heard the sweet sound of an SR20 turbo...looked to my right and saw a half open roll up door....approached got the ok to go in and....my eyes went wide open with....two datsun 240z, couple 240sx all drift builds...it looked like one of those fast and furious movie scenes in there with car lifts and high performance equipment and parts & engines and work benches.....I thought for a moment I had dropped dead and was in heaven :thumbup: Well I got to talking with the guys there and when I told them about Rats with Dats their eyes lit up, they liked the idea, so I told them I would bring flyers, they also have a body shop right next door, really kool setup :) 4 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 love the chicken I tried to get a gold sofa for the best interior . . :devil: Still working on that . . . You should have seen the ladies face when I wrote out the order for the trophies . I wanted a golden rat for the rat class, and a few other requested that have never been made . She said " What kind of an event is this ?" I told her car show / campout / swapmeet . And she said " And you want what on the trophies ?" one thing is for sure , We will be having FUN at this event ! So leave your smoking jackets at home . But if you plan on sleeping you may want to bring some ear plugs ! And maybe a blindfold if hobo goes streakin ! :w00t: 5 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 But I like my smoking jackets And the man planning the show is cool with the streaking :rofl: The trophy places are probably all used to sports trophies, they aren't used to our way of doing things 2 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Judges can be swayed by chicken taco's.There will be at my campsite...along with beef ones... Edit Fish too if they're biting! 2 Quote Link to comment
