Thanks for the find!
They still make the same basic style (EMPI), but I can’t justify spending 135 bucks on somethng that was made in China (all EMPI stuff has been made in china for the last 20’ish years):

Here is a cheaper one that is in the classic canvas bag:

I may buy myself a present for Christmas this year; a roof rack:

and then toss a vintage cooler up on top.
Thanks again for the heads up on the kit!

flash back to 1982!
I think this week, it will be QSL and that’s it. This weekend and the next 2 I’ve got company or will be out of town. But I will hit up the coffee and cars on PD Sunday morning….
Some year I hope to make it up to Iola…..

Another great bunch of car!
Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – No issues. My GPS took me to the right spot (nice drive out there), but found it a little odd to drive though the vendor section.Parking Location – Lots of green grass and no real dust in my area (it must of rained out there recently).
Class Organization – They tried to organize the cars by group. I tried to get in the special interest but wouldn’t let me. They put me in the up to 1958 stock. If I was going to do it again I would of put the car in the low ride car group.
Trophies & Prizes – A couple of trophies, and a bunch of plaques for the winners. Door Prizes, they called off names, and I didn’t see anything too exciting they were giving away. I left before 1, due to the heat.
Food – C. Standard burgers, brats and hot dogs, but they were cooking them over charcoal weber grills. And they did have ice cream too. It seems like a lot of other shows this year, are adding other eats, other then the standard burgers and brats.
Entertainment – 3D sound DJ. There was a pretty big area to cover and they did a great job doing so, with a second set of wireless speakers. The DJ didn’t talk all time and wasn’t annoying, and I even heard songs for the 80’s and 90’s!
Judging – No clue. I did find it odd that on one of the forms I filled out there was a box to check, if you were interested in Judging.
Dash Plaque – Yup, got one.
Variety of Cars – Pretty decent. Lots of Mustangs and a handful of rat rods were nice to see. My guess there was about 300 cars that showed up.
Bathrooms – I think there was normal cinder block bathroom, and 1 porta John. I don’t know if that was enough or not?
Weather – Smoken’ hot! But there was a breeze. After I was there for 2.5 hrs and 3 bottles of water I decided to bug out due to the heat.
Trophy Presentation Timing – No clue.
Entry Fee – 12 bucks. A bit higher then normal and they charged 2 bucks for folks to enter to view the cars.
Overall Rating:A/B
There were a few vendors, and a Dyno Machine which was nice to see for a smaller show like this.
