Rod & CUstoms Nats coming to Massachusetts Aug 1&2

[chopshop]

A not to be missed event.

(Taken from the website)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all for attending our inaugural Rod and Custom Nationals show. The 2008 show was a great success, more than 500 vehicles from all over New England and beyond were in attendance at the beautiful Best Western in Marlboro, Massachusetts. Spectators were in abundance and thoroughly entertained with music, driving championship grand prix go-karts, building custom model cars, competing in the spark plug challenge or watching pinstripers create some one of a kind masterpieces of automotive art which were auctioned off for charity. With activities, prize give-aways, raffles and dozens of vendors there was something for each member of the family to enjoy. The 2008 Sho Car Association Rod and Custom Nationals was truly a spectacular event and should not be missed in 2009. Thank you.

Rick Finamore, Director
Sho Car Association

I am going to try and make it. I know the guy running the show, Rick Finamore. (We used to workout together.)
I went last year, but it starting down pouring before we got there. Hopefully the weather will be better this year.

[chopshop]

we stayed in the rain and it was just as much fun- this really is worth coming to - out of towners should add this to their show list this year.

[tones2SS]

That's cool.
I look forward to chatting with you then and seeing your cars. (If it doesn't rain!!!) lol
I think Pete and the Comp-Spec crew will be there as well.

[chopshop]

Peter BETTER be there at the event....

Good guys... YOU will have a great time- if you stay on site at the hotel - its REALLY nice too

[tones2SS]

When I asked if Pete was going, he said he was.
I'll be there as well as long as it doesn't rain. I'm like 40 minutes away from there.
I can't wait for the Summer Nats in Worcester as well!!

[chopshop]

you should come even if it DOES rain- it was a blast last year.

[chopshop]

[tones2SS]

I'll be there.
Went to the SUMMER NATS in Worcester today and had a blast. FINALLY met Ben Hermance. Wicked cool dude, as is all the people on this forum. I'll be hanging out with him and his buddies tomorrow. His Camaro is pretty cool. Not a bad deal he got there.
