Don't have time or money this year. My wife is 8 1/2 months pregnant. Inlaws are moving into a new house this weekend. We are getting a $40,000 addition started on our house so we are broke. I guess that is good enough

no car to take, no money to buy parts, never been there to begin with, and... well... it is just too darn far for me... agree with cudahob, it needs to be in Kansas!

Lack of both time and money.



And add another vote to having it in Kansas.

I have to get a haircut.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

My excuse would be the total lack of organization that they have at that show. I've decided that until they get organized I'll boycott the show.

I was going to go...without the Charger BUT I do not trust my daily driver-98 Mustang.  That thing has been in and out of the shop at least every two weeks since August of LAST YEAR.  Damn thing.  As soon as the Charger is paid off...than I am going to get a more reliable truck.

Plus I had to go to my doctor yesterday for a breathing treatment...and I am still having issues breathing and than I woke up this morning and slammed my toes into something and my one is all messed up now. lol  Not been a good weekend.

I really wanted to go, but I did go into my town tonight and met Dave (ugh I cannot remember your name on here) who has a killer 68 Charger!!!!!  Loved it.  :) 
I love my 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Clone

Gas prices don't bother me, when its for a show worth attending. The Mopar Nationals is nothing more than a name now. The show has been going down hill in my opinion over the past 10 years. The last 3 years I went solely for the name sake, and that I had only missed 2 since its inception.
