I will probably be there with the wagon. I haven't registered yet, but there is still time. It would be nice to see some of the members from the surrounding area there. I will be parked on the west side of the Cargil building. My local club will be manning the Advance Auto Repair Center. If you find my car and I'm not around, just ask someone there they will know. If nobody is there just look inside the building. :D

Now they changed the forecast again. Now we have rain schduled for each day. I give up. I haven't registered yet, and I might not even bother. I'm really disgusted with this summer so far. Anyhow if perchance I don't go you guys are all invited to stop by my house, which is located about 5 minutes from the fair grounds. You take 690 west away from the city. Look for the Farrell Road exit. Procede to the traffic signal, take a left at the light. My house is the second on the right. You will see a big red car trailer open type with a "X" car chassis sitting on it In my turn around and my 2002 red Chevy PU. If you go past the Kwik-fil you went too far. Send me a PM if you think you might stop by.

Tim: I Will Be There No Matter What The Weather Will Be Like. I Missed The Nationals Last Year. I Looked At Your Profile,And,Noticed That You Own A'58
Del Ray. That's My Favorite Body-Style For 1958!! I Would Love To See It Someday.
I Am A Big Fan Of "Sleeper Cars"!! Please Show Up Saturday-Rain Or Shine!!!!!!!!

I Would Like To Tell You About A 409-Powered '58 Chevy 2-Dr. Sedan, That Was Owned By Someone That I Know, Around The Area Where I Live. He Raced It Back
In The Early To Mid-'60's, And, IT WAS VERY FAST!!!!!!!! I Know That You Will Want
To Hear About This Car!! And, Jester, I Hope That You Will Still Show Up, Also!!!!!!!!
I Do Not Want To Be The "Lone Ranger" Of www.348-409.com, At The Nationals!!!!

So, Please, Meet Me At The West Side Of The Cargil Building, Sat. At 2 P.M. Sharp!!
Thank You. P. S.: Let's All Pray That It Don't Rain Saturday. We Want Nice Weather
For A Change!! Regards:"ww".

Climate That We Get Around Here!! So Dond, PLEASE SHOW UP SAT., EVEN IF YOU

I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it. We are coming up on the bike so we can park at the front gate and just a short walk in. We live down in Cortland and it is just over half hour ride. If it rains on the way up, I quess we get wet.

I'll be there rain or shine. We were going to take the bikes but the old lady does not like riding in the rain. (Sissy) The other reason is, we never know what we will be taking home with us. So the trip this year will be in the pick up. The Biscayne will stay in the garage. We have reservations at the host hotel where the registration takes place. We can sit outside the hotel and they drive the cars by us. Much better them walking . At any rate, I will see you there or ar Dond's house. Have a safe trip.

The forcast is looking like it might be an ok day. I still want to take the bike, but she is wanting to take a car up. I'll have to try some more convincing. I'll be at the cargil building at 2. I want to buy a stray hat from one of the vendors and I made up a badge from the picture on the home page. I hope this is ok Bob? See you tomarrow.

Yes the weather man did a good job today. After the morning down pour. The clouds parted and the sun did come out and stayed out all day. I took the wagon there about 2:30. I will be there bright and early in the morning. Hope to meet up with you guys tomorrow at 2. Weather man says rain south of the thurway if any. Let's hope it stays away at least one more day.

I Enjoyed Myself At The Syracuse Nationals This Past Saturday. Except For A Late
Afternoon Thunderstorm, The Weather Was Good. I Met Up With Dond409 And Tim
Orzel At The Cargill Building,And,Talked To Them For A While. I Gave Them Flyers
For The Hot August Nats Show,Which Is Coming Up Next Month. I Never Got To Seet or Meet Jester,Though,Even Though I Was Looking For Him All Day,Including
More Than One Trip Back To The Cargill Building, In An Attempt To Find Him.

I Tried To Recruit 6 People,To Join The Website,At The Nationals. I Gave Them Flyers For The Hot August Nats,Also. I Hope They All Decide To Join Up. Dond409
Recruited at Least 2 People That I Know Of,And,Tim Recruited At Least One. As The
Old Saying Goes: THE MORE THE MERRYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards:"ww".

Thanks for spreading the word! There's power in numbers and us W-guys have to stick together!

DQ recently suggested I make up a printable flyer so you guys could make copies and pass them out so that's something I am working on and will be available soon.

Sorry I missed you ww, I had a great time . I did meet Dond409 while he was working the bugs out of a small block. He was busy and I had intentions of coming back at 2pm, but the best made plan of mice and men. you know. I rented one of those elec. cart to see as much as possible and the d*** battery went dead just about the time I was to meet you guys. I ended up having to push the cart back.
Did anyone see the brown, 62 bubble top , 09 numbers car. It was not in the car corral . It was for sale for $25,000 firm. It was clean but at that price, there was not enough for poppa to make a buck. Next year I'll bring the Biscayne.

Oh yea, Don, that is a fine looking 09 wagon.
