FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

I have finally put the stuff back for another year. The book orders and membership information has been sent off. My tan that I got while in Hershey is starting to fade.

I want to thank the volunteers for their time. We had twelve members spend time at the booth. NY, PA, MN, VA and GA were represented.

Thanks again to all that stopped by to talk and check us out.

Next year October 8-11, 2024

nelsbo1,

You should have gone to the show. The grass was wet, but that was about it. Always great fun. I was disappointed that there were not more Early V8's on the show field. Maybe half a dozen cars. Trucks were well represented. I took one of my Model A's to help bolster their numbers. I wish I could take more than one car.

Yes..........did not even attempt to go see the car show.
Rain was on and off -- with several down pours.

Did our best to keep the Hershey, Annville and Palmyra economy going.

Saturday we head west -- and the MUCH cooler temperatures.

Thanks for following along.

Well, all good things come to an end.
Up at 5:30 am eastern and it is wet outside. On and off rain scheduled for today.

Guess it will be Plan B today -- antique shops.

Alan ... the doctor says exercise is good. And I like good.

Still sunny -- but cooler. And a stronger breeze.
Closed the V-8 booth around 2 pm because we had to return our donated tables.
Had a good week. Saw V-8 friends, heard may stories and signed up 9 new members. (and 16 renewals).
Promoted the daylights out of the new 1949-1951 Mercury book. Even took a couple of orders for it.

And you probably want to know --- Monday (6.96 miles), Tuesday (7.59 miles), Wednesday (6.69 miles) and Thursday (5.15 miles).
The crowd on Wednesday and Thursday was the best of the week, but there was still a lot of open asphalt.
Walked 26.39 miles --- hey a marathon......................

Another warm one. This is becoming a reoccurring event.
But, where did all the people come from. Larger crowds, but still small, but encouraging.

Good number at the V-8 booth. Glad to see that.

Another warm one.
Lots of familar faces -- but not a lot of people walking around. Lots of scooters and golf carts though.

Was able to walk the Orange and Green fields.

WOW -- a hot one. Worked up a sweat just putting up the canopy.
Also saw the ambulances take two away.
Got on the field around 8 am.
Walked about 7 miles today. Saw a lot of asphalt. That just means some spent an extra day at the beach.
The wooden nickel that the AACA gives out with each program purchase only lists 2 years on it. In the past it has been 4 years.
Asked at the Hershey AACA souvenir tent what that meant and the reply was that their current contract with HERCO only goes until 2025.
Hmmmm.
Up at it tomorrow before 8 am. The weather says another beautiful day.
