I'll be there Saturday but I won't be taking the 59. 6 of us are going and the vette only seats 2.

It might be a good idea for anyone going and showing a car to post a picture of the car here and their first name. Then if you see that car in person you'll know it's a forum member and you can ask for the name and say hi.

I would really like to take in this show, but as usual my weekend is all taken up with youth sports. My daughters local softball tournament is this weekend. Maybe next year!

Todd,

You'll see some nice stuff at BTT50's. This includes early vettes. I used to take photos but you can only put so many up and I just decided not to take any in the future. On top of that I see things I want to change on my cars but it gets really expensive so I tend to forget about photos now because they remind me of the cost.

Another show you should consider is the Street Rod Nationals. I believe they are held every year now in Louisville, Ken. The last time they were held at the fairgrounds in Mpls/StP there was some super cars there. I wanted to buy a 32 Ford 3 Wdw that year but couldn't come up with the money.

I'll be there all three days. Black '62 with American Racing wheels. Can't tell you where I'll be parked. Used to be we would be able to park on Snelling at 4am and get onto the grounds soon after the gates opened. Was easy to get good parking spots when there was only 8000 cars. Now with 12000, it's a crapshoot.

Will keep an eye out for forum members.

My wife and I are going on Friday. It is the best day to go. All the cars are there but crowd is 90% car owners, very few spectators. Can actually cruize the grounds.
Won't be taking my Corvette. Will be going in a 32 Ford 3 window high boy.
