Weather forecast isn't looking great as of now. 50% chance of rain/thunderstorms for Saturday day and night.
I sure hope it changes by the weekend.

I would go but when I read the final rule in there list I changed my mind.
Lets see it reads, " ( YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT NO REFUND AN WE WILL BE CHECKING)". So if they didn’t like some thing on some ones car or truck they may let you in to get the money then kick you out after that with no refund. I don’t think they would do that but I don’t like what I read and when did a so called Rat Rod show or "RAT ROD RUMBLE" have so many rules???? Back in the day it was Hot Rods and people used what they had to get there car up and running or make it faster. So what if they used a too nice of a wheel or put EFI so they could get better miles or better power. Maybe they used a new "HEMI" but put a carb on it. My truck has a 302 from a foxbody mustang but has a carb now but its clean, so being to nice I guess I would get kicked out. I mean I could go on and on but what ever I guess.
Well for the ones I’ve already talked to we will still meet at my shop this sat with pizza no cover charge and the only rule is you must have a good time.

That's not talking about your car, I'm pretty sure it's about your behavior.

So there going to be checking my behavior??? I can see checking for drinking and getting kicked out but are they really going to check every engine and before you go in or check after your in then ask you to leave. I can see no glass bottles, and loud noised after 10:30 a.m. The modern engines is gay, Billet wheels ok I get it, Gangster wheels I can see 22" being gangster wheels what about wires on a rat rod or chrome wires on a rat rod? See what I mean to many things to pick from. Why drive all the way up there to give them money and be told you cant come in or then asked to leave. Last year I was told I could not come in because my wheels were to nice then after talking to another guy he let me in. I can see having rules nothing wrong with that too keep the peace but come on all that for a Rat Rod Show? Starting to sound like a Street Rod Nationals Show...lol

Like the rules say
NO DRINKING AND RACING
( YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT NO REFUND AN WE WILL BE CHECKING)
They just want to keep everyone safe. I have seen Donny (The owner of 411) yank someone out of their car for drinking and he was in the staging lanes ready to run.
The weather is not looking the best but it may change by the weekend, raining here now.

If you have something questionable, call them and ask...I did because my '39 is street legal but I need to trailer so I can bring all my swap meet stuff and it's just not practical to drive it 2.5 hours at 50 mph. Dan was very understanding and said it would be ok.
The rules seem pretty tame compared to a lot of shows.

I was there last year and seen every type of car under the sun, we had a great time, unless they changed all the rules this year, Tell me these pictures are all rat rods with, vintage style engines, wheels are to nice, paint is to nice, there were cars there that were IMO where show cars not rats, but isin't a rat what you want it to be ? go to the show and have some fun, if you go with the additude of it being a bad show, it will be a bad show for you.

I hope you are right, but that ain't what the weather people are saying. I am just about 15 minutes from the race track.

Looking at the radar patterns for the last 4 hours it looks (to me anyway) that it will be cloudy the rest of the day with a few scattered showers tomorrow.

This doesn't sound like fun tent camping weather or for driving home 300 miles in an old rusty truck with marginal windshield wipers and no defroster.
I think I'm gonna sit this one out.
