Anyone planning on going to this? Convoy down possibly?

I'd be interested if other folks are going. I'd be coming up from Charlotte. I'm planning on attending the meeting in Hickory on Sat. so hopefully there'll be more discussion then.

Brian and I would have to leave at 5 am but we can and it would be cooler. Do we go down I-77 South ? Tarheel/AMGeneral need directions AND a meeting place to set up the Convoy.

[bulldog_mack13]

Ill be there as long as my M35 gets here and has plates in time. the 26th is my bday

 

[tarheel]

russ, for you, 77 north, exit 42, will be a wilco truckstop there, turn left, go thru town, pass the 3rd lite on the right, iredell county fairgrounds. neil, 40 west, 77 south, exit 45, turn right, first road on left trun left, first light turn right , fairgrounds right there on the corner. we will be coming in from the west, and running some backroads, so neil you will be flying solo.

 

[tarheel]

oh, and jay, plates are optional.

 

[rsh253]

Hey Jay,

I just got my SC plates yesterday. I bought my M35 in LA, drove it 800+ miles through MS & AL to Charlotte. For the past 6-7 weeks, I've been driving through NC & SC and never been stopped. So you should be OK if your plates aren't here in time

TRUST ME!

[lovebloodhounds]

I can go on the 26th i will convoy with AM general if he goes on sat pm me with more infothanks kenneth

 

[CGarbee]

This is a great show. I've gone several years and always have had a good time. Usually park next to Steve from Statesville as he tends to ride over in either his M43 (with all that display gear in and on it) or his M109... Lots of tractors, small engines, and pickups in addition to all the commercial big rigs. The fairgrounds are easy to find (well signed) from I77 south of the I77 / I40 interchange in Statesville.
I'll be driving up from Raleigh, perhaps in one of the tippers.

 

[rsh253]

Hey Neil,

We're all assuming that you ARE bringing the Hooters girls?

-Russ

 

[neilhendrix]

WELLLLLL Russ I`ll try but not going to hold my breath. See you Saturday

Neil

 

[bulldog_mack13]

Im still waiting on my truck... if its here by friday ill make the show for sure!

 

[rsh253]

Hey Guys,

I won't be able to make it to the show afterall. I started replacing the wiring harness in the deuce earlier in the week and thought I'd have the time this week to , but other stuff kept coming up and at 11:30 tonight I threw the towel in and had to accept that I wasn't going to be able to go.

Hope you have a good time without me

-Russ
