I have been watching the weather..........and I think I'm glad I didn't go. A combination between the price of gas and bad weather has me checking things out a little more this year. Carl M. Johnson [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Conroe, Texas   Posted by jherman  -  05/24/2008 03:51 PM I stayed home for the 1st time in about 6 years, but I the kids had ball but all of them are rained out here in Kc. jherman [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Missouri   Posted by zinski3  -  05/24/2008 10:27 PM Picked up the daughter at Springfield airport Friday. Weather was nice. Kinda rainy this morning but got up to 80 and sunny this afternoon. Hope it was nice in Springfield. Sorry I missed it. zinski3 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Edwards, Missouri Charter Member since December 2000   Posted by insomniacshotrods  -  05/25/2008 01:51 AM I took today off as a vaction day only to be awoken to tornado sirens and pounding rain just my luck. After about 4 hrs its was time to head up to springfield, I got back home at 11 pm after staying to watch the cruize after the show. Man there where alot of great looking cars and a bigger trend was the rat rods they are getting more and more ratty lol...I might be a little ticked if i had 50 thousand in a car and the ratrod next to me had 9 hundred and was getting all the attention lol..to me ratrods are cool but not for everyone. I seem to gravitate to the cars that had patina on em or ratrod black paint for some reason. Anyway it was a darn good show and i highly recommend if your in the area. insomniacshotrods [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Carthage, Missouri   Posted by jherman  -  05/26/2008 01:19 AM I can't stand the rat rods, they are ugly why waste the time to build crap like that, and how is legal to drive that stuff. jherman [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Missouri   Posted by amrodder  -  05/26/2008 07:52 AM Yeah,there seemed to be a lot more black primer cars there this year.However,some of them were very tastefully done with good smooth bodies before the primer was put on.I thought some of them were really cool looking.But on the other hand,some didn't even have glass in them and they were allowed to drive them on the streets Saturday evening,little dangerous for the both the driver and other drivers on the road. After the rain Saturday morning it was a great day for a streetrod show!!Sunday turned out pretty good too,except for the trip back home to Southern Illinois.Ran into a wicked storm about 35 mile from home,I was just behind the big hail,didn't get any damage to the rod but when i got home my daughter's car was pounded. amrodder [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Chester, Illinois   Posted by rc57  -  05/26/2008 06:32 PM Just got back, once downpours stopped on sat, the show was pretty good.

[ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] colgate, Wisconsin Charter Member since February 2004   Posted by McMillan Rod & Custom  -  05/26/2008 07:22 PM Got home today. What a ride on Sunday night. Made it as far as Des Moines and ran into a wall of water and wind. Couldn't see the road and could feel the wind sliding the trailer sideways. After a few miles of that we found a hotel and waited until this morning to come home. Was great to meet some of the faces from this site at the event. Hopefully everyone got home safely . I really wouldn't want to drive a streetrod in what we went through. McMillan Rod & Custom [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Marshfield, Wisconsin   Posted by brian41chevy  -  05/26/2008 09:34 PM Got home today and yes that was quite a ride Sunday evening. Jim nice to see you again and to meet up with some of the guys from the site, Thundergrunt, Paul, Bill, Artie, Riverrat, Shooterx and, Meangene. Gene once again THANKS for the help with the broken door latch. I'll post pictures from me and Gene as soon as I can.

That's why I opted to stay home. I really missed the shows though. Okla City was freezing rain...cold ....and raining. Springfield was rain.....Knoxville was rain......The picture is from Springfield... Carl M.
