I see you bailed on Hot August Nights , I was hoping to meet up, Now Ill just have Charlie.

I went to HAN for years and years. My grandparents lived in Carson City - so it was always a good excuse to go visit them... and of course HAN "used to be" - the hot rod show in the country on the west coast... Then - frankly - it went to hell in a hand basket as far as I'm concerned. So I quit going about 5 years ago.

I get my fill of Charley at other events... I've thought - a nanosecond at least - about going back, but there's just other things to do - and I'm not any different than everyone else - I only have so many weeks to do "X" amount of car stuff - before it has to take a back seat to family stuff.

This year it is on the same weekend as the NorCal Shelby Mini Nats at Sonoma -- and I have more fun driving the car Charley gave away than I do sitting in a parking lot. (I've never been much of a car show guy).

I think you should modify your trip and include Sonoma for a couple hours... then have Charley send his helicopter to pick you up and whisk you over to Reno.

Best plan I've heard yet!

Wow Greg the engine looks fantastic. I'm sure you'll have fun with that in the car! I'm definitely excited to see this project in the final stages...

USA Greg, sarcasm isn't easy to read through text on the internet. Does Charley really have a helicopter?

SEVERAL -- and AIRPLANES TOO..... and about 100 cars, many of which are in various states. LOL


The man is a god.


I'll let him explain as I don't want to discuss his personal fleet of stuff.


But really... No, not that I'm aware of... but with Charley, you never know.

Well that's disappointing... I can confirm he does have cars in various states though. I saw one of them hiding in Michigan a couple days ago. Cool stuff.

I planned the trip around HAN because Charlie said, It's not to be missed, he rated it above all other shows, so we will see.

It's a shame it's on at the same time as the Nor Cal deal as I would have love to be there for a look and add some banter.

I'm heading over to see Ron Sutton after Han on the Monday, as he is re valving some shocks for me.
