Norm,

I just registered the beast to attend the 2011 Syracuse Nationals. I will be arriving early, probably July 9th, to make sure we get a good motor home spot in the infield. Not sure if we will also take our daily driver with us to go off site to attend other functions. This is our 1st Nationals so I am not even sure where to park the beast, or find some shady spots or where the good spots are during the show. Hope to see you there.

Dick

I called today and we are allowed to come and go as we please.
Spots are first come, first serve.
So I will meet up with everyone early so when we go in we all find the same location to set up.
So please email me with your contact information if you plan to attend.
Pre-Registration is $40 per car, ten days left before it goes up to $50.
You get two tickets to the show per car and kids are allowed free if in the show car.

I am in Syracuse, American muscle is everywhere! Everything from the Mystery machine (Scooby Doo) to a Studebaker Champion. Tomorrow willl be interesting, we will be staging at 5:00 am to get a good spot out of the shade when we arrive. Mark who invited us up will be leading us in to find his key spot since he knows the fairgrounds. Pintoman72 has been there all week, i am hoping for everyone to get together, but how we stage will be interesting. This show is huge, 7500 cars. I have seen allot of Canadien plates, I mean allot of them. I will let you all know how it was.

Got back late last night.
I want to thank Mark for inviting us up and for the hospitality he gave me and my family.
The event had some of the most unusual cars I have ever seen along with lots of hot rods. We got split up from Dick and Sandy, the layoout of the show was allot different then I am used to. it was a first come first serve layout so people were lined up at 4:00 am and then ran to get their spots. Other than that it was a cool show. Friday i did get to at least visit with Dick and his insane red Pinto. Saturday Louise had some heat exhaustion issues so we left earl to get cooled off at the Hotel and Sunday was an early day. I also have some family in Syracuse so i was visiting in between. Overall a good time, good to be homw and eight Pinto's were at the show, six parked together. It wasn't a Stampede but there were six more than last year and allot of people were talking about the Pintos and came to see them.
So :happy_bday:

Hi Gang,

Got back from the Syracuse Nationals late Sunday. The weather was very hot and there were some cars and trailers and motor homes on the shoulder of I-90 West. Most looked like they were having over heating problems. All had some form of help or were just letting their vehicles cool down. One already had a flat bed loading up their car.

We arrived on July 9Th, the Saturday before the show weekend, just to get a good motor home spot on the edge of the large show field near the arch where most of the show cars pass through. We had full hookups including sewer. We spent most of the week with other campers. On Thursday, the day before the show started, there is a free picnic for all the registered car owners and guest. The picnic is at Onida Shores State Park about 25 miles north of Syracuse. So Fred and Linda camped to the right of me took their Blown 1923 T Bucket, Terry and Gail camped to the left of me took their 1929 home built 2 seater sprint car, and Sandy and I crawled over the roll bars to take the Pavement Pounding Pinto to the picnic. Needless to say with me in the lead, then the T Bucket and the Sprint Car following, we made quite the scene driving up Route 81 North as well as coming back to the Fairgrounds after the great picnic.

I apologize for not parking with the group but it was just so convenient being close to the motor home. Some of the guys found me on the show field and I thank them for that. The Blown bright red 72 Pinto was well received and drew lots of fans and onlookers all 3 days of the show. There were all types of cars and trucks and every thing in between. Many thousands of cars, some worth more than I can imagine and it seemed almost 25% of the cars there were Blown. Many thanked me for having a Ford Motor in a one of a kind Ford car. One guy drove up from Philly. He said he was a Chevy guy but seeing that "sick blown Pinto" made his trip worthwile.

Great time, great friends, great to see all those Pintos. Our motor home is in the background of the head on picture.
