Posted by glrchotrods  -  01/04/2008 09:12 PM Was my 1st Nationals. I was blown away. I have only missed 3 Nationals since. I could not belive Andy Brizio and Jerry Stitch drove that T-Bucket and the C-Cab Wrecker all the way from California.... They were Show Cars Back Then... glrchotrods [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Toledo, Ohio   Posted by DavyJ  -  01/04/2008 09:19 PM I figured this would stimulate some good memories to help beat the cold. Thanks to my wife Cathy who scanned them all into the computer and to Eriq who took the time to post them for us. Just try and compare the differences between today's nationals...........a lot of changes since back then. Dave. Still driving the wife's car, cause I am slow.
