I took second in my class up there in 2009 
They get roughly 500 cars each year for a 3 day firebird/trans am show and a saturday night cruise in at a town up north.
here's a few pics from last year's show and cruise.

And I was probably hovering around vendors row, wound up with that **** I built so all in all my first Nats was a win win. Not gonna enter her again though; 50 bucks was too much in hindsight for what my 'entry' went up against in G3.

You had it right, saturday w/ tipp and sunday morning are all that make Nats worth the trip.
Also got offered Granatelli LCAs.. 50 bucks. I passed. Once you get that MWC in all my monies are diverted to working a deal.

Dude, I think I burned my retinas from that vat of chrome you've got under the hood. Glad it won something, do they ever send the judging sheets to the owner after the fact?

BTW it has taken 9 years to amass all that engine bay stuff--that **** is not cheap--you can't buy it all at once.
I have two 3rds and three 2nds in that class

Gettin the car ready for the last Mayberry of the season. Bay finally got some Back to Black treatment, but has a long way to go (and discovery of some good applicator brushes for those hard to reach places..)
