Who's going? Our local club has several going. It's a nice show and they have a bunch of classic vendors there in the past.

Andy4639 · 07-11-2018, 07:04 PM

ZEKE68 · 07-11-2018, 09:36 PM

Yes awards are handed out on Saturday. A bunch are going up today. I'm taking the 2 trucks up Saturday morning early.
He has a bunch of vendors setup selling truck parts and old vintage signs and auto related stuff.

Too far for me!

Mudflat · 07-12-2018, 09:45 AM

So how many NATIONALS are there throughout the year in various places?

Several because there are so many C-10 not one show can handle them all. Plus some are to far to drive to.

stormtown · 07-12-2018, 11:31 AM

I'll Probably go. What time Saturday for start? I work Friday

72LB · 07-12-2018, 01:00 PM

I'm a member and will be up there Sat but not with my truck(hopefully next year).

stormtown · 07-12-2018, 01:03 PM

OK. The website says Friday 8-6 and Sat 8-4 for everyone going

Perpendicular · 07-12-2018, 04:09 PM

Wow, it is 7 hours from me. I would have loved to go but too short of a time frame to get there!

Good luck all

Sorry I just came in from working on the truck and the ramp to get them ready for aturday morning. Leaving out earrrrly to get there by 8am I hope.
Several members left today and went up.

Andy4639 · 07-13-2018, 09:27 PM

I got the ramp & 71 truck ready for the ride to Maggie Valley tomorrow, Wish me luck... the ramp has never gone on this far of a trip.
Got all the bikes loaded. I picked up another chopper Tuesday and a fat tire Mongoose today with 7 speed which later on this year will swap over to my chopper!

truckster · 07-14-2018, 12:32 AM

I just drove through there on my way back to Utah. I wish I had known...

57taskforce · 07-14-2018, 12:46 AM

Week to late for me. I was in the area last Friday.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-14-2018, 07:55 AM

I'd like to see the car and truck shows go back to the way they used to be , 1 winner with a check for $500.00 or a $1,000.00 , They could probably still do it that way if they stopped giving away participation trophies .

jessemthompson · 07-14-2018, 09:53 AM

I wanted to make it out this year, but I had a new blessing come about a week ago. And as far as trophies go, I’ll never be able to spend enough on my truck to compete with a lot of guys. Trophies don’t mean squat. It’s about comradare and spending time with family.

Well, I only have 3 years on your son lol. I’m gonna be a grandpa at my two youngest boys high school graduations

Andy4639 · 07-14-2018, 08:41 PM

My daughter and grandson drove the 71 up and I drove the ramp truck. They both did fine but the ramp lost 4 quarts of oil on the trip. The bottom of the motor is covered in oil. I think the oil pan gasket is shot!
The 71 brought another trophy home too! 4 years running! There was over 140 trucks there today.
I registered the ramp and I put my daughter's name on the 71. She was tickeled to have her name called out.

I was wondering the same thing. Everybody seems to have a "national" event. It's ridiculous at this point.

**special-K** · 07-14-2018, 10:41 PM

That's neat she got to receive the trophy. I bet your grandson got excited. How ws the turn out? Get any pictures, or did anyone?

They find a word to use to make it sound bigger and now that's the trend. The fact is, if a show is too far to drive to it is regional, not national. But I guess that doesn't pack enough punch, or maybe too honest for a promoter? When are the C30, C20, K5, K10, and K20 Nationals? Is there a show for GMCs, like a C1500 National anywhere?

All said and done after maybe a better name, I bet the show was pretty good like the old show at Maggie Valley, even with another Nationals across Tennessee the same weekend (in the same region)

flashed · 07-14-2018, 11:30 PM

The Nashville show was huge and awesome , wish they were at different times .

**Boog** · 07-15-2018, 10:03 AM

Chuckles, 72Bluz RIP, invited me to join him at Maggie Valley one year and I really regret not making that show.
I think I'd really like to make the Nashville one some time.

Andy4639 · 07-15-2018, 01:04 PM

The show was over 150 C-10's are at least that's what I herd anyway!

National has nothing to do with driving time. I don't think the promoter cares how far you have to drive. I think it's jut a name that draws people.
I'm glad there are several shows this way I don't have to drive for a whole day to get there and spend a fortune to go.
The swap meet was good also.
Ole red done good but the ramp had more conversation's with folks but the judges didn't like it I guess, which it's not really a C 10!
