Hey All,
I got a call the other day from John Drummond. He is the Communications Director for the Goodguys car club and he’s looking to fill some spots for their first east coast show. They are looking for at least 10 cars for an indoor display at the Big E fairgrounds June 15th -17th. Below is all the info and the cost of the event, it seems like a great value for the show.
The only catch, They are looking for finished cars. Nothing in primer, no patchy paint, complete interiors. Drivers and survivors are welcome just no “Works in Progress” which leaves my car out.
I know we have at least 10 cars in New England and New York that qualify so If you are interested all the info you need is below and in the attached form.

Scott,
Despite being a top-notch event, The Nationals has never reached the popularity level of Carlisle. I’ve been attending The Nationals for a loooong time, but only one trip to Carlisle. They’re both great, but Columbus is a LOT closer to home.
For Friday & Saturday cruising, go to Heath, Ohio. Brice Road was the place to be for years, but the Reynoldsville City Fathers decided that the hundreds of thousands of dollars we spent wasn’t worth the traffic trouble. Heath is GREAT – especially on Saturday. Also, there is no organization to parking at The Nationals, which makes it hard (impossible?) for a group to gather. They have an Original Owner’s Area. I park there. Stop by my ’66 Barracuda for a Coke & see-gar.
