    Nice! Looking forward to seeing the Daniel Carpenter collection again and the new mfr/warehouse space that was under construction back in 2014 during the 50th Celebration. As of now I am planning to bring my '82 GT this year.

    I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Concord last year....easy jaunt from there to the brewery on Friday evening, and 10-15mins up the interstate from Kannapolis on Saturday morning.

    9850 Weddington Road Extension, Concord, North Carolina, 28027

    There is another Hampton in Kannapolis and much closer to the event....I think it was sold out last year when I tried.

    I say this every year but just to reiterate. Rich (Fearnot) and myself live here in the middle of it all. If anyone has questions about anything at all or needs assistance while here with anything on your cars, just reach out to us. There are others who I can't think of right off.

    Hopefully that comes with a full wet bar!

    Do I get a dollar off every trouble free mile my car makes it?

    I'm hoping to make it out there this year. We will see if I can get the car running well enough to make the 2500 mile round trip.

    You know what, I actually wouldn't care but the other half........

    Maybe not so much!

    We do both have some space and some tools though if it ends up being your car that needs something!

    Dad and I will be bringing our cars again this year. We already registered and this has to be my favorite show all year! Not as many cars as Mustang Week, but more of the cars I love! I'm ready now. I would encourage anyone who can to plan on coming. If you love the Foxbody then this is a don't miss show for sure!

    Quick update....I am staying at the Hampton Inn off Dickens Pl, which is just a couple miles south of the stadium off I-85. There is a group of 6-8 of us staying if anyone wants to join us for some "parking lot chats" on Friday and Saturday nights.

    Also the '82 GT is staying home this year in favor of my new Storage Find '92 LX. Figure I'll rotate between 4-eye and Aero each year.

    That's a decent area. There is a WalMart right there to pick up anything you forgot. Plus a Waffle House and a Cracker Barrel and a Bojangles right there that are safe. Please stay far AWAY from the Asian Buffet. It's close but it's a gamble that your Colon simply can NOT win. El Vallarta is just an exit away if you want some Mexican food and Mr. C's is also a good alternative for fast food but better type fare and they have really good cheap meals. I know when I travel I prefer to not eat at the same places I can when I'm home.

    Wow Brock - that's a road trip! I hope it goes well. If you happen to break within 400 miles of home you have my number, I'll bring a trailer.

    I hope it makes there and back without incident!

    I'm at the Hampton Inn as well...so unless there are two there across from each other, we're in the same place I'll be in a 2002 Red F-250 Super Duty with a white aero-slant 20' trailer. You can't miss it....it is covered in Ford and Saleen decals with a HUGE Running Pony on both sides.
